I have been here a few times and Salish Dining Room (for dinner) is one of the top places I've been to. It's definitely my favorite dining experience around the Seatlle area and really one of my favorites overall. It's expensive, but the tasting menu is really fantastic. Everything on the plate has a purpose and melds perfectly.
We had the tasting, which is expensive but IMO worth it. Our waiter, R.D. (the only waiter I have ever requested) puts it together for us after asking our preferences, so it's a complete surprise when we are served. Of the 6 courses, 3 particularly stood up. The beet salad is terrific. The glazed nuts and the greens go extremely well with the beets. The kobe beef carpaccio melts in your mouth. And the scallop appetizer with mushrooms was the best scallop I've ever had.
Other things that I've had in the past that have been great are the bisques, the hot rocks, and the buffalo filet.
Dessert hasn't been the greatest. I should also note that I've been to their breakfast a couple of times and I think it is completely overrated and not even in the same ballpark as their dinners.
