Washington is an incredibly beautiful state, and some of our restaurants highlight so much more than the food. Catch a sunset from Ray’s Boathouse in Seattle or feast on the deck at Clinkerdagger in Spokane and you’ll see what we mean. However, it’s tough to top the breathtaking views that await you from the top of the mountain at Crystal Mountain Resort. Summit House is truly one-of-a-kind.

Summit House Restaurant is Washington's highest elevation restaurant, standing tall at 6,872 feet.

This is the only restaurant in the state you have to reach by gondola.

The gondola ride is nice and peaceful, but if you're terrified of heights, you may want to dine elsewhere.
Once you step off the gondola, a rustic but elegant space awaits you.
