WINE & DINE

Eating and imbibing at The Lodge at St. Edward provides a true Pacific Northwest experience, with three unique options to keep your dining experience never one and the same. 

Cedar + Elm 
The centerpiece of our culinary program, Cedar + Elm, is the gathering place and heart of The Lodge at St. Edward, providing an inspired dining experience crafted by authenticity and connected to a sense of time and place. Led by Executive Chef Luke Kolpin, Cedar + Elm celebrates the bounty of our region with a uniquely Pacific Northwest approach, influenced by the seasons, Nordic cuisine, and the historic dining room. 

Father Mulligan's Heritage Bar
Inspired by the rich history of The Lodge at St. Edward, Father Mulligan’s Heritage Bar offers a warm, inviting atmosphere for guests from day to night, serving a full menu all day starting with a morning coffee bar and inspired breakfast menu, to drop-in afternoon bites and drinks, to pre and post-dinner cocktails and desserts.

ART AT THE PARK

Saint Edward State Park has inspired decades of artists, storytellers, writers, and historians, who have been awakened and enlightened by the power and beauty of the awe-inspiring natural setting. The Lodge at St. Edward continues to be a gathering place that celebrates and nurtures local artists. The Gallery of Fine Arts houses a rotating artist showcase – with all artists hailing from the Pacific Northwest, featuring pieces to admire and purchase at Catalyst Fine Art. 

The Lodge is also home to an Artist in Residence program, a series of rotating local artists who will take inspiration from our surroundings to create, and give demonstrations of their craft through both private and public lessons. We invite our guests and the local community to wander the grand hallway and soak in the inspiration, come meet our Artists in Residence and learn from their craft, and join us in the appreciation and respect of art in all forms.

Step into a world of artistic inspiration at the Catalyst Artwalk, a monthly showcase at Catalyst Fine Art Gallery, offering a refined selection of works by PNW artists on the last Sunday of each month.
