 Dahlia Lounge opened long ago in 1989, but continues to set the standard for Pacific Northwest cuisine. This restaurant from chef-restaurateur Tom Douglas put 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 Penn Cove manila clams with Chinese black beans, sweet peppers and scallion; griddled zucchini dumplings with roasted squash and Reggiano; grilled rare yellowfin tuna with bacon fried Satina potatoes and dill pickled green beans; and Washington beef rib-eye with creamed corn hushpuppies. Don't forego the Belgian fries served with a piquant curry ketchup. 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.
