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!

    We went to the high tea, for a special celebration. It is in a beautiful building and restaurant. We loved the setting and the live musician. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre. The staff and service were wonderful, but definitely not worth the price at all! I won’t be coming back.

    We intend to book for an actual lunch on a Sunday, but it’s not obvious anywhere that this place only has brunch on weekends! I don’t understand why is that. The brunch is very ordinary, heavy but not taste, lack of innovation, delicacy or any surprise at all, it was such a waste of the nice venue. There weren’t a lot of customers in there when we arrived, but service was not good. They were left waiting for like 15mins after getting the drinks, really? Also missed a side that we ordered, didn’t bring stake knife when we requested. Some are nitpicks, like serving a congee without any spoons. Attention to details matters, that’s how I differentiate a repeat-worthy restaurant vs a not-ever one. And the waitress almost intentionally serve and chatted other tables before answering to our requests, every single time. One last thing, I noted on the reservation that it was for my dad’s birthday, but nothing happened. I guess I shouldn’t be disappointed. It just not a nice restaurant.

    It was ok, not bad. The menu is pretty much the same for Cedar+Elm and the 2 other hotel bars. One and done.

    Came here as a spot for a best friend date and it was perfect. The ambiance is sooooo 1920’s inspired and so cozy. Food and drink were amazing and the service was outstanding with the staff being so sweet and kind. Will definitely be coming back!

    This was our first visit here and we were delighted. The table was ready for us. The waitress was pleasant, helpful, and attentive. Everything we ordered was brought to the table in a timely manner. Everything from cocktails to food, dessert, and coffee was perfectly prepared and presented. We will definitely be back.

    Nice attention to quality with the food and the space is lovely. We were there on a Thursday evening and it was pretty empty, which detracted from the vibe a bit. The service was attentive and friendly and they treated us well.
