The Seattle institution Peter Canlis opened in 1950, in a building by architect Roland Terry that was designed to feel like a house, up on a hillside above Lake Union at the south end of the Aurora Bridge. It’s still owned by the Canlis family three generations later. It was a great experience with really delicious food that wasn't too pretentious. They also have a wonderful wine list, and this is where I had the best American Chardonnay I've ever had: Walter Scott Freedom Hill.
