Dining room at Dahlia Lounge, Seattle, WADahlia Lounge has continued to set the standard for Pacific Northwest cuisine and it feels as fresh and innovative as ever. This restaurant from chef-restaurateur Tom Douglas put Pacific Northwest cuisine on the map by embracing the region's bounty of fresh ingredients and incorporating them with global flavors and styles. The swankiest of Douglas's empire, Dahlia has a small bar, a retail bakery next door, and one of the loveliest dining rooms in Seattle. Deep Chinese red walls, cheery lanterns and plenty of banquettes create a seductive atmosphere. The menu changes daily, but expect dishes like Taylor Shellfish Manila clams, smoked fennel sausage, garlic and preserved tomato; shrimp-scallion pot stickers with black vinegar-soy dipping sauce; seared Alaskan halibut with crispy spƤtzle; and a beef rib-eye steak with hash browned potato. Desserts include Tom's signature coconut cream pie and tiny lighter-than-air donuts served with seasonal jam and vanilla mascarpone. As with other restaurants in the Douglas empire, count on relaxed, friendly, but always professional service.
