Starting with the acclaimed Café Sport in 1984, Tom’s cuisine helped define the Northwest style. After many successful years at Café Sport, Tom and Jackie opened the Dahlia Lounge, which soon became one of the Northwest’s premiere restaurants, winning wide acclaim both regionally and internationally from the Seattle Times, Post-Intelligencer, L.A. Times, New York Times, and Gourmet Magazine, to name just a few. The James Beard Foundation Award for Best Northwest Chef was awarded to Douglas in 1994 and Food and Wine named Dahlia Lounge the "Quintessential Seattle" restaurant in 1999.

In May of 2000, shortly after celebrating its ten-year anniversary, the Dahlia moved to 4th and Virginia, to a larger, beautifully renovated space with dark red walls and Chinese hanging lanterns. The Dahlia now boasts a full bar, open kitchen, applewood grill, and a 50-seat private dining room.

In April 2001, Dahlia Bakery opened right next door to the Dahlia Lounge to sell the favorite desserts, pastries, and breads from all of Douglas’ restaurants as well as seasonal sandwiches, soups, and salads.
