Canlis Seattle Reviews

Canlis was AMAZING! Service was exceptional!! From the moment you walk in, the staff is wonderful. The servers are knowledgable and so attentive. Food was delicious. Overall, incredible experience. Loved Canlis!!

It had been quite a while since my last visit to Canlis. However, I chose to return last night to raise a toast in celebration of my birthday. We had a delightful evening, lounging in the lounge area and enjoying the live music. While a couple of the drinks turned out sweeter than I preferred, prompting me to switch to wine instead. The service was excellent overall, and the atmosphere was as wonderful as ever. Just keep in mind that seating in the lounge area operates on a first-come, first-served basis!
