Sovereign Menus
Sovereign offers an elevated yet approachable fine dining experience where the land, sea, and Pacific Northwest heritage come together on every plate. The menu spans a premier beef program featuring Mishima Reserve Wagyu, Creekstone Prime dry-aged cuts and Chairman’s Reserve Black Angus alongside coastal favorites like Lobster Thermidor, diver-caught Sea Scallops and the signature Sovereign Cedar Plank Salmon stuffed with crab and roasted over cedar. For something truly distinctive, the tableside Wagyu Hot Rock and the Sovereign Filet Flight, a trio of Wagyu, elk, and buffalo tenderloins, offer experiences found nowhere else in the Pacific Northwest. End the evening with a Huckleberry Baked Alaska or the Macallan Butterscotch Pudding, each crafted in-house and worthy of the occasion.
