Canlis Founders Mark and Brian Canlis Announce Separation of Business Paths

In a significant shift for one of Seattle's most celebrated culinary institutions, brothers Mark and Brian Canlis have decided to part ways professionally while preserving the restaurant's prestigious reputation.

The Canlis brothers, who have jointly managed their family's eponymous fine dining restaurant for years, are transitioning to individual professional pursuits. This decision comes after generations of collaborative leadership that transformed Canlis into a nationally recognized dining destination.

Key details of their separation include:

Continued commitment to maintaining Canlis restaurant's exceptional standards
Mutual respect and support for each other's future endeavors
Preservation of the restaurant's long-standing culinary and cultural legacy

The brothers have emphasized that their personal and professional relationship remains strong, and this transition represents growth rather than conflict. Their shared commitment to excellence in hospitality continues to define the Canlis brand.

As they embark on separate paths, the Canlis restaurant will remain a cornerstone of Seattle's dining scene, continuing to honor its family's multi-generational commitment to innovative cuisine and exceptional service.
