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!

    Love the ability as a couple to isolate yourselves in the two person wrap around seating. Service was wonderful and felt the food wonderful as well.

    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

    Beautiful setting, refined setting. Everyone in our party thought their food was excellent. I loved the wheat flatbread with “dirty dip” and the Dungeness salad was delicious. Service was excellent as well.

    Cedar and Elm was a lovely experience. The food and drinks were excellent and the space with the seminary setting outdoors on a sunny day? We couldn’t have asked for more from a Sunday brunch outing. We will definitely visit when we are in Seattle again.

    Dear Sharon, Thank you for your fabulous 5-star review! It is such a joy to see that you enjoyed your Sunday brunch with us.
