About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Neighborhood gem

Cedar + Elm is the heart of The Lodge at St. Edward Park, a beautifully restored landmark hotel peacefully tucked away in a lush 326-acre forest just 30 minutes from Seattle.

Led by Executive Chef Luke Kolpin (Formerly of Noma and Bravo's Top Chef), Cedar + Elm’s menu is inspired by the undeniable spirit of the region we’re proud to call home. Every ingredient, flavor, and method of preparation is infused with an anchored authenticity. The bounty of each season informs our direction, culminating in familiar and approachable dishes with refined presentations and bold flavors.

Join us for breakfast, lunch, dinner, afternoon tea, or brunch for an inspired Pacific Northwest dining experience. We also feature live music in our Tonsorium Bar on Thursday and Friday and all-night happy hour Sunday through Thursday!

The food was good as well as the service. The noise level when we arrived was a bit loud and overpowered our conversation and made it difficult to enjoy the meal as we were celebrating a birthday.

We love this restaurant. What a surprise to lean it’s closing for remodeling for a year! We sincerely hope they can keep the chef. He’s amazing. Also, hope they don’t change it TOO much. For the most part we really like the ambiance and style. It could be a little more romantic with dimmer lights and different flooring but there is a very comforting feel to the place.

Amazing food, drink and wine selections and an always creative, evolving menu. Parker as our server was also fantastic. We will miss Cedar and Elm during its renovation and eagerly await its return.

The food was delicious although a very limited menu was provided. We were happy to go to the ambience and the beauty of the estate is just breathtaking, but it is closing next week for one year so if you plan to go, you better go fast.

I booked the reservation based on the times available as soon as we arrived they told us we had 12 minutes to order before the kitchen was closed. Not the greatest initial experience.

Patrick was delightful, accomodating and knowledgeable. The 2 of us spent 2.5 fun hours there. Glad the restaurant, hopefully is getting an update, or just didn't work. Food was ok. Tried the poussin, tasted like a chicken with lots of garlic and herbs on top vs infused through the chicken as in a well roasted chicken. Not air off options but our leaf salad with fog cheese very good.
