A 2nd Course, Main Course, + A Dessert
Yesterday’s post featured a very cool restaurant in Seattle called Canlis. Now for the dining portion. This restaurant is known for their amazing food and very unique presentation. How incredible are these photos? Each one is a work of art. It was so hard choosing from the 40+ on their site.
My favorites (from the 1st course to the dessert course) are above…
I haven’t done a Dining + Design post in a while so here is a two-parter (it’s a good one). When we were in Seattle last month we dined at one of the most amazing restaurants. Canlis (recently featured on Top Chef Seattle) is a family owned restaurant that has been around since the 1950′s. The mid-centry Modern/Frank Lloyd Wright design aesthetic was very appealing to me and part of the reason why we chose to go. The second part involves the food which we will get to tomorrow…
Details I love: from top..
Images 1/2: The views of the city are spectacular and the overall vibe inside was very homey. The resturant almost passes for a house…
Image 3: The oversized door handle is a favorite!
Image 4: I loved the geometrical cocktail tables in the bar area
Image 5: The upstairs level contains a few private dining rooms. We were shocked when they escorted us upstairs…turns out there was an opening and we were there at the right time. Guys FYI, great place for a proposal…
Check back tomorrow when I share the “dining” portion. The images are beautiful…
I am not that great in the kitchen but, I can make this. My mom always serves it on Thanksgiving and it is the best soup I have ever tasted. If you need a last minute recipe I would try it!

When I was visiting my family, in Chicago, we went to The Pump Room for dinner. The Pump Room was the place where every movie star and politician went to “be seen”. They recently went through a massive remodel and were able to keep the old Hollywood vibe with some new modern touches (the amazing lighting!) . The lighting is a true work of art, something you must go see in person. The perfect mix of old and new; my favorite…
The food was also very good. My favorite was the avocado and crab salad pictured below.
I am excited to share a new feature on The Blog called “Dining+Design”. One of my favorite things to do is try new restaurants with friends. I am always taking pictures of unique wall textures, cool plating techniques, and great branding ideas. There is so much that goes into creating an overall vibe of a restaurant; from the bar seating to the beverage serving trays and from finding the perfect lighting to figuring out the perfect way to display your food. I love when restaurants really understand this process and get it right.
For my first “Dining+Design” resturant I decided to keep it local and feature a favorite Austin spot
