Phrases like "seasonal" and "farm to table" are all the rage in fine dining right now, but Chef Brian Scheehser truly embraces the spirit of those phrases by his dual profession as part chef, part farmer. Trellis' produce is grown in the chef's garden, tended by him, harvested when the time is right, and served to appreciative Kirkland residents as well as Heathman Hotel patrons. Numerous awards have been lavished on this culinary destination including a James Beard House "Best Hotel Chef" and Seattle Magazine's "Best Green Chef." Entrance to the restaurant is through the Heathman Hotel lobby on the right. A hostess escorts diners through the small lounge area with its vast marble-topped bar into the medium-sized dining room where floor-to-ceiling windows offer up views of the Kirkland Library and a beautiful corner garden across the street. Outdoor seating is available, accompanied by heat lamps in chillier weather. The Trellis Cheese Selection plate is not to be missed.
