Cedarbrook Lodge’s food and beverage vision is centered around three pillars. First, culinary sustainability; second, the heart of the experience; and thirdly, inspiration, discovery and tradition. Our culinary team is passionate about and dedicated to sustainability and demonstrates this through partnerships with artisans and powerful affiliations and industry devotees.
At the helm, continuing the tradition of excellence and artisanship that our Seattle Southside restaurant has been known for over the years, is Executive Chef Joshua Hart.
MEET OUR EXECUTIVE CHEF
Joshua Hart
Joshua Hart, Executive Chef since September 2024, leads the day-to-day operations of Copperleaf Restaurant and Bar as well as the property’s banquet and catering programs.
Before stepping into this role, Joshua held positions as Chef at Harry’s Beach House, Chef de Cuisine at Terra Plata, and Sous Chef at both Monsoon and Spinasse. A Seattle University graduate with a degree in English Literature (’06), Joshua brings a thoughtful, research-driven approach to his craft. Originally from rural North Central Idaho (Weippe & Nezperce), he draws inspiration from his roots on a wheat farm and finds joy in the care and detail behind handmade pasta and sourdough bread.
For Joshua, the ever-changing nature of kitchen life and the opportunity to learn from a diverse team make cooking a lifelong source of fulfillment.
