Plan for a Modern Pacific Northwest Steakhouse dinner

First-timers should build expectations around the confirmed signature dishes rather than assume a specific menu format or service style. The 40oz Tomahawk Steak and Dry Aged Ribeye cover the steakhouse core, while Diver Scallops, French Onion Soup, Hanging Bourbon Bacon add range around the main event. Baked Rainier gives dessert a clear role in the experience.

The restaurant’s Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for 2026 is a confirmed recognition. The $90 per person price point also makes it a dinner to plan around rather than a casual, low-cost stop.

The dinner schedule is the key planning detail

This is not the best fit for diners looking for lunch, since the hours show evening service only from Wednesday through Sunday. It is also not the right choice for Monday or Tuesday, when the restaurant is closed. For the right night, however, the combination of business-casual dress, a $90 per person price point, steakhouse signatures makes the positioning clear.

Auburn diners should compare Smoke & Cedar Steakhouse against other local dining generically by occasion, budget, appetite. Use the full Auburn restaurants guide if the group wants a broader local scan, or check the Auburn hotels guide when the dinner is part of a longer stay.
