Terra Vista Restaurant, Snoqualmie Casino - Modern Northwest Cuisine with a French Tone

Located just east of Seattle, you’ll find a hidden gem called Terra Vista inside the Snoqualmie Casino. The restaurant focuses on ingredients from farms that are local organic and practice sustainable farming methods as much as possible. Lucky for you, Chef Bruce has created a new menu featuring modern Northwest cuisine with a French twist who just returned from a trip to Europe where he scouted the latest culinary trends and brought back some of the unique flavors.

Chef Bruce has chosen from a selection of local farms, fisheries and ranchers to headline his menu, including:

Halibut cooked in sherry pumpernickel vinaigrette with sweet onion puree, petite greens and tomato fondue.
Diver scallops in a coconut tomato broth with wilted garlic spinach and flying fish caviar.
Wild Boar Belly in a beet root sauce with pickled red cabbage and English peas.
An assortment of Spring vegetables featuring freekeh, English peas, asparagus, pearl onions, piquillo peppers in a walnut oil finish.

Each dish was crafted with a strong sense of detail emphasizing on simple ingredients that pack bold flavors. Take a look at the below hand-crafted cocktails and a few of the dishes that were sampled. Our favorite dish had to go to the “SRF Kobe” Tomahawk, it was tender, full of flavor and it may be your best chance to reenact the caveman days.
