Cedar + Elm is the heart of The Lodge at St. Edward State 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 Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday as well as all night happy hour Sunday through Thursday!

    From start to finish, our anniversary dinner at Cedar + Elm was nothing short of extraordinary. Opting for the chef’s tasting menu, we were treated to a stunning progression of courses that showcased impeccable technique, creativity, and the finest ingredients. Each dish was perfectly balanced in flavor and beautifully presented. The wine pairings were equally impressive, thoughtfully curated to enhance every dish and elevate the entire dining experience. Our favorites included the starter crab bites, the sliced steak course, and the dessert to finish. What truly set the night apart, however, was the outstanding service. Our dining staff went above and beyond to ensure our anniversary was celebrated in the most memorable way. From personalized touches to warm and attentive hospitality, we felt genuinely cared for throughout the evening. The attention to detail and passion from the staff were evident in every aspect of the experience. Chef Luke took the time to show us the kitchen hearth and explain how he came to be here at Cedar + Elm. If you’re looking for an exceptional culinary journey, Cedar + Elm delivers on every level. We left feeling not only satisfied but truly inspired by the level of care and craftsmanship that went into every course. We can’t wait to return for another dinner service!

    Best dinner I’ve had in a long time. The Gravlax and Pork Belly small plates started us off well and then the poussin was absolutely delicious. We rounded off the meal with a special dessert for our anniversary that blew us away. Big fan of the tiny earl grey marshmallows! Overall a fantastic evening. We will definitely be back.

    Very innovative dishes (main and small) that were delightful. Ambience was subdued in high-walled, outward facing booths. It was a clever arrangement to accommodate larger boisterous parties and still have a romantic setting for couples. Service and presentation were flawless. Cocktails were creative, beautiful and delicious. Can’t think of one thing that could be better.

    This was a lovely experience. My one complaint: since the food was already on the table when we were seated, it was cold by the time we were ready to eat -- i.e. we waited until our tea arrived to begin eating.
    Cedar + ElmResponded 6 days ago
    Dear Eleanor, Thank you for taking the time to share your lovely review! We are delighted to know that you had a fantastic visit, though we do apologize for the timing and will take note for future tea time reservations. We are glad that you loved your tea experience overall, and hope to host you again soon! It'd be our pleasure. Cheers, The Cedar + Elm Team
