We booked the Cache room for our 10th anniversary and unfortunately it didn't quite live up to the hype.\r
\r
Let me start by saying I""ve been to Canlis for many types of occassions and I know what I'm in for in terms of food, wine, service - and cost. But we went here on our 1st anniversary so thought it would be great for the 10th. Well...\r

First off, the cache room is honestly nothing special. A little cramped room you reach by going up the back staircase crowded with unused chairs and clutter. Very bad was to try and impress your guests.\r
\r
Once you get to the room there is a round table in front of a window and a little couch. That's it. Oh, and a stereo behind a flimsy bamboo screen where you can put in your own CD's - which I must admit is cool.\r
\r
Food was ok, nothing earth shattering. The Canlis salad was so overdressed I couldn't eat it. The seafood/Canlis chowder tasted canned. And my husband's $75 waygu steak was just good, nothing amazing. \r
\r
The service was very good, with the waiter giving a little knock before he entered. Wine service was top notch.\r
\r
Overall, I'd say the experience didn't do anything to make me want to come back anytime soon, not with all the great restaurants out in Seattle. The Cache room wasn't anything I'd waste another $100 extra on.
Pros: amazing wine list and service are still top notch
Cons: Soggy salad, food not noteworthy, Cache room very overrated
