About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • 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 decided to sample all of the menu items. Our server, Angel, was accommodating even though it was more work for him. We loved every main course, but the Sablefish won the evening.

    Wow - the tasting menu with wine pairing was outstanding. All of it, from the quality of the food, the presentation, the service, the pacing of each course — this was the best meal we have had in a VERY long time. Will absolutely return and treat it as our first choice restaurant for special occasions -it’s a hidden gem!!

    Very nice park and lodge. Beautiful restaurant...but some of the best items on their menu were not available so if you plan on a particular dish check ahead of time. Except for a burger (on the bar menu only) food was below standard and expensive at that. Service was barely there... The deserts sounded so interesting but were pretty bad so was the coffee. So sad.
    Cedar + ElmResponded 7 days ago
    Dear Asya, Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable review and feedback. We’re disappointed to see that your experience with our service and certain menu items being unavailable left more to be desired. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service, but also on our commitment to making improvements when we don't get it right the first time. We’d love to hear about your visit. Please feel free to contact our Food & Beverage Manager, Jessica Gerhardt, via private message on OpenTable. We look forward to connecting. We hope you’ll consider a future meal with us; we’d be grateful for the opportunity to make a better impression. Sincerely, Jessica Gerhardt Food & Beverage Manager at Cedar + Elm

    We did the tasting menu and were amazed by the attention to detail and the variety of dishes (including several starters, a palate cleanser before the main dish and two different desserts).The portion sizes were perfect and the flavors were exceptional. We have done tasting menu us at several other restaurants in the greater Seattle area and would say this was one of the best. I would highly recommend it.

    Chef Luke is amazing. We’ve done the tasting menu twice and will return again. A perfect blend of high end dining and comfortable, elegant atmosphere. Brunch is also a favorite- a stay at St Edward’s Lodge has become our favorite local weekend getaway.
