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!

The food was Pacific Northwest with unique spice attractions to each dish. The wine pairings were spot on as was the service. We came for our anniversary but will visit again for date nights!

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.

The food is just poorly executed and mostly not tasty. We’ve tried it too many times and are always disappointed. Will not be going back.

Wow! Very little food for $75 plus mandatory tip. For $75 you get 4 sandwiches that are 1.5" square and more dessert and scone

Hello Debbie, Thank you for taking the time to leave us with your valuable review and feedback. We regret to hear that your experience with our tea service left more to be desired. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service, but also on our commitment to making improvements when we don't get it right the first time. We’d love to hear more about your meal, would you be willing to continue the conversation through messaging here on OpenTable? Please send a message directly to Kevin King, our Food and beverage Manager. We look forward to connecting. We hope to earn another chance to give you a lovely visit in the not-so-distant future. Sincerely, The Cedar + Elm Team
