About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Fancy
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!

    We went for the afternoon tea. It was just ok. Was not worth the price. Glad we tried it and we did enjoy ourselves, but won’t be returning.

    We have been waiting two years to have Mother’s Day tea at Cedar and Elm. Finally, we were able to get reservations just to find out they put us in the basement not in the actual cedar in the Elm beautiful restaurant that started the whole experience off badly. The tower that they use is so large you can’t see someone across the table from you. There were not very many options of tea to have I think five. On a positive note the staff was very attentive and friendly. Also, they came around with extra scones and crumpets, which were excellent all in all we will not come back because of the ambience so sad to be in the basement for my Mother’s Day.
    Cedar + ElmResponded on June 1, 2025

    This was my 4th visit for brunch. The food was subpar. The croissants were dry and bland. I ordered the vegetarian frittata, but it had several pieces of sausage in it (despite being reassured it was veg). Servers were kind but harried. Ambience is lovely, but I’ll stick to oatmeal next time.

    Food and service were great with delicious brunch options served by friendly staff. We attended the Mother’s Day brunch and had our 4 month old with us in a stroller but upon arriving, we had to carry the stroller up some stairs. There were also no mother friendly nursing options which seems odd as the occasion is to celebrate Mother’s Day.

    Hi Kelvin, We appreciate you taking the time to share your wonderful review. We're so glad to know that you loved the Mother's Day Brunch!
