A big night for Canlis last night as the esteemed restaurant celebrated two big milestones: its 63rd birthday and the fact that it is now a coveted Relais & Châteaux property. There are only 13 other restaurants that have been bestowed the award, and Canlis is the first in the Northwest to receive the honor. At an invite-only, post-dinner service party last night (photo), Mark Canlis told a glam-clad crowd, "This is an award for Seattle, and it's time the rest of the country knows about what Seattle can do."
