  • Romantic
  • Great for fine wines
Welcome to Lark, Seattle’s beloved fine-dining destination for 20 years, with New American cuisine from Chef John Sundstrom celebrating the bounty of the Pacific Northwest in a luxurious, comfortable atmosphere with impeccable, welcoming service.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: John Sundstrom

From the OpenTable editors: Lark has been the fine-dining star of Capitol Hill for more than 20 years, and the food and gracious hospitality combined make it easy to see why. Chef John Sundstrom is a James Beard Award Winner for Best Chef: Northwest, and whether you go for the four-course tasting or a la carte, his menu captures the wild region: foraged maitake mushrooms in a ragu, wild King salmon with potato pavé, and creme brulée cake with local berries.

    The food was delicious, the wine even more so, but what really stands out is the exceptional service. The waiters, water pourers, every attendant is so professional and attentive. I was highly impressed. The gnocchi and bread service was fantastic, as was the steak.

    Service was incredible & staff was warm & engaging. Our three, seafood entrees were seasoned & cooked to perfection, but the steak was not good. Tough & not tasty.

    great spot, great service, but unfortunately, the food just isn't that good (overly salty; just not good). the wine list and wine we ordered, was very good (with the server's help).

    Kind of expensive for what it is - you have to walk past dumpsters to get there

    All of the food was amazing. Maybe a little expensive for portion size and amount of courses.

    Excellent food. Good ambience. Great server (Anna) and her colleagues. HOWEVER: BE WARNED: Parking in that part of town is an anarchic nightmare. Leaave 20 minutes ahead of schedlue. When inquiried about parking options ahead of time, all the Lark phone staff say is there is 'Street Parking'. If they had an idea as to WHERE local parkinig garages are etc, the pre-dining experience would be alot nicer - especially when you pay a pretty penny for the wonderful meal. N.B: There is nothing about parking on the Lark website either. Not fun when you don't go to DT Seattle much.
