seattle’s elevated coastal kitchen
taste the pacific, reimagined
Cinder + Salt brings modern, coastal-inspired dining to Seattle, where Pacific Northwest seafood meets bold, global-influenced techniques. Bright, light-filled spaces reflect Mount Rainier and Puget Sound, creating an inviting backdrop for flame-kissed, seasonally crafted dishes—from pristine shellfish to whole fish and prime cuts—offering familiar flavors with a refreshingly modern perspective.
crafted pairings for every bite
Our beverage program is designed to elevate every dish. Boutique wines from Washington and Oregon, crisp coastal whites, and Champagne complement seafood, while classic cocktails with maritime touches—from citrus-forward martinis to sea-salted Old Fashioneds—add a refined, globally influenced finish to each vibrant, intentional bite.
the art of fire-kissed flavor
The open fire grill showcases flame-driven cooking that highlights the Pacific Northwest’s freshest ingredients. Whole fish, prime cuts, and seasonal vegetables are cooked over live fire for bold, smoky depth, delivering modern, intentional dishes that balance vibrant flavor with approachable sophistication.
an elevated raw experience
Our raw bar highlights sustainably sourced Pacific Northwest shellfish and chef-crafted crudos. Oysters, spot prawns, and clams are served with seasonal, thoughtful pairings, delivering a bright, intentional, and premium coastal experience that celebrates the natural elegance of the sea.
