I discovered this place several years ago when looking for restaurants in the area of the NORWESCON convention hotel, the Doubletree at Seatac. Cedarbrook lodge, home of the Copperleaf Restaurant, is set in several acres of greenery that secludes itself from the airport area. It also is a supurb dining experience and a menu that keeps us coming back again and again.
I started with the baby gem lettuce (with Toasted Filberts, Fines Herbs, Grain Mustard Vinaigrette) then moved on to my main of Painted Hills Short Rib Bourguignon (with Grilled Trumpet Royal Mushrooms, Young Turnips, Oxbow Farm Carrots, Burgundy Glace) and had a dessert of Meyer Lemon Souffle Glace (with Caramelized Honey Ice Cream, Black Pepper Shortbread).
My wife had the Cavolo Nero Gnudi (with Butternut Squash, Caramelized Onions, Parmesan Reggiano) then a main of Bacon-Wrapped Wild Boar Sirloin (Sicilian Pistachios, Thyme-Poached Pears, Butternut Squash, Pearl Barley Risotto).
A friend of mine had the Lobster Bisque (with White Cheddar English Muffin, Bearnaise Mousseline) and a main of Pleasant View Farm Moulard Duck ”A L’Orange” (with Caramelized Salsify, Brussels Sprouts, Navel Orange, Pumpernickel Toast).
It was all delicious. Unfortunatly I did not have my regular dessert of Theo’s Hot Chocolate Pot for Two with Homemade Cinnamon Doughnuts as my wife and friend were too full for it and its too much for me. Next year for sure.
