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!

    Went for Afternoon Tea and it was lovely. Great food variety, you get to pick the tea(s) you want and it wasn’t too stuffy but was still elegant. The hotel is gorgeous with plenty of different art and it was nice to go early and wander around.

    Staff were attentive and helpful. Large room while grand seems a bit stark and cold, in ambiance not temperature. Food tasty and well prepared and it’s a plus for me to have hot food served on heated plates as I do at home. Stayed hot throughout meal!

    Ylada, our server, was very knowledgeable about the menu and the history of the building which enhanced our dining experience. The food was delicious! Favorites were the flatbread with dirty sauce, wagyu steak, and the chocolate gelato. We never felt rushed. We appreciated the low decibel music. Highly recommend Cedar & Elm!

    The Thanksgiving dinner was amazing! The three courses along with wine pairing were nicely paced and beautifully presented. The turkey was moist and tender and the sides of root vegetables, stuffing, roasted brussel sprouts, cranberry sauce and sauteed mushrooms were thoughtfully prepared and complimented the main. Dessert was pumpkin pie along with an assortment of small cakes. Overall, the food and service were outstanding and the portions generous. This might just become a new family tradition!

    The thanking dinner is $105 per adult and $50 per child. We had 3 adult and 2 kids. The foo/menu was average with a seasonal salad and potato celery soup. Soup was made with attention but too salty to the taste. Salad was sour, with balsamic vinegar and maybe some lemon? Just too much. The waitress was nice, but clearly she was just unable to provide “experience “ but busy meeting her standards to manage all the table she has gotten. The runner in middle who placed all the main course , was simple dropping food on the table. It was overwhelming to see one after another food item was being dropped on the table but not presented if you know what I mean? There was kind of a”there you go, here is more , stuff you face.” Not in a wrong way, but you know the feeling of nicely cooked food being bombed on the table with no explanation. Overall , not worth the money. Will not recommend, will not return.

    What a lovely experience. The food quality was excellent. Flavors you can distinctly identify but not overwhelming. A traditional yet culinary excellence take on traditional Thanksgiving meal. Weight staff attentive and helpful without hovering. The dining room is beautiful and while it was full that day with patrons, the room is quiet enough to have a nice conversation. Walk on the grounds and in St Edwards Park beautiful afterwards. We will go again and take friends.
