Our upscale, waterfront tavern pays homage to the city’s pioneer days, providing a place for both travellers and locals to mingle over craft beer and cocktails, fresh-caught seafood and the simple-yet-delicious flavours of the Pacific Northwest. Named for the state bird of Washington, the American Goldfinch, the restaurant is a collaboration between Four Seasons Hotel Seattle and Ethan Stowell Restaurants. Celebrating and embodying the neighborhood culinary spirit in Seattle, Four Seasons partnered with Seattle native and multiple James Beard Award nominee, Chef Ethan Stowell. His highly acclaimed restaurant group has more than a dozen neighborhood restaurants in the city.

The Team
Emmanuel Calderon
Executive ChefAs a teenager growing up in the Mexican peninsula of Yucatan, Calderon discovered his passion for food. Earning his stripes, he began his career as a kitchen apprentice. He was recognized as one of the top 10 best young chefs from Mexico in the Joven Chef Mexicano competition before his career led him to work in various luxury hotels throughout Mexico. Prior to Four Seasons Hotel Seattle, he worked at Four Seasons properties in Santa Barbara, Dallas, Mexico City and Scottsdale, in addition to “task force” roles at the Los Angeles, Santa Fe, Baltimore and Costa Rica hotels.
Chef Ethan Stowell
Seattle-native Ethan Stowell is the executive chef and owner of Ethan Stowell Restaurants in Seattle. He was named one of the Best New Chefs in America by Food & Wine in 2008 then chosen as a Best New Chef All-Star in 2013, and he’s been honoured with multiple James Beard Award nominations for “Best Chef Northwest.” His food philosophy revolves around simplicity and excellent local ingredients.
“I love the instant gratification you get from cooking; the intense challenge it provides, and how it has let me develop a deep appreciation for all sorts of ingredients.”
