Great service, great appetizers, the mains were good, but not great like the apps.

We sat at the bar and had a wonderful date night. Each dish was delicious and prepared perfectly. The cocktails were creative and also very good. If they have the meat pie on the menu with bone marrow, get it! It was flaky, rich and extremely flavorful. A surprisingly standout meal that we weren't expecting to be our favorite.
If the only reservations available are at the bar, don't worry! You'll still have a wonderful meal and great service.

We left feel it was a glorified diner without the warmth of a neighborhood-y undertone to its service.
We had the meat pie and the steak, accompanied by a hamachi crudo and a coffee panacotta to close. The hamachi crudo was the only standout dish for the evening.
The service seemed intentionally cold to create a certain atmosphere. It's almost as if anything more than a slight smile would be frowned upon.
The presentation of the food was okay but certain below par for the positioning of the restaurant. The food itself felt greasy and not easy on the stomach on the 5th bite. E.g. the steak which we were told can only be served medium rare was great on the first few bites but start to feel a bit much with the sauces on the third piece. The sauce was a little heavy for the red meat that was served. Despite the presentation of the bone marrow on the meat pie to give the dish a bit more layer, it instead felt like a lazy attempt to create something interesting but fell flat on perhaps not understanding how greasy the dish under the dough could be. Similar to the steak, on the 3rd or 4th bite, its starting to feel like too much oil.
The coffee panacotta lacks the sway and creaminess of known for this dessert. Perhaps its an off day for the pastry chef, but it felt more like a cake than a panacotta.
All in all, it was a sub-par dining experience where we spent $100 pax and had slightly better food than a local diner without the warmth.

Wonderful evening at Lark. Attentive service; special touches to acknowledge a birthday celebration; delicious, well balanced, thoughtfully portioned food; excellent classic and seasonal cocktails. A small but important point: the ventilation is great and your hair and clothes don't smell like cooking the next day. We had a great evening, thank you!
Neil
Excellent food, excellent service, lovely setting. Value for money not great but then you should kinda know that before you go, as that's not their business offering, we will go back again.

The Valentines Day menu was great with many preparations we had not experienced before, and we loved. The service was superb and they have hanging curtains between most tables so that enhanced the privacy of the meal. We had a great meal and time together.

Fantastic place with a large and cool space. Food was delicious and a great way to celebrate a special occasion. Parking is always challenging but worth the hassle for this top Seattle establishment.

We had an absolutely wonderful evening at Lark celebrating my son's birthday and my husband's new job. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed — we were greeted with champagne, which immediately set a celebratory tone. The food was excellent across the board. We enjoyed the bread service and a beet dish that was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully done. The Wagyu steak was cooked perfectly — rich, tender, and unforgettable. Drinks were just as impressive: a classic Old Fashioned and a lovely rosé that paired perfectly with the meal. My son ordered the spaghetti with prawns, and it was outstanding — flavorful, perfectly cooked, and a big hit. To top off the night, the staff surprised us with dessert and a candle for his birthday, which was such a thoughtful and special touch. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, and the atmosphere felt elegant yet comfortable. Lark made our celebration feel truly memorable. We can't wait to return — highly recommend for special occasions or any night you want exceptional food and hospitality.
We enjoyed the food, ambience and service here. It is a bit pricey but worth it for special occasions. Our server Ana gave us good recommendations and treated us well. Highly recommend this place. We made reservations a week prior to our visit on a weekday.

Love, love, love the atmosphere. Our table was upstairs with curtains on two sides. We could hear the lively bar below. Excellent service and diverse menu with vegetarian options. The food was delicious and we ordered N/A shrub drinks which were also tasty. Memorable experience.

Food was good, nothing remarkable. Service met expectations, again not remarkable. The space is very nice. Price was absurd.

We came here since they were a part of the Chase Sapphire Reserve dining credit. Food was good!
We had the elk chop and truffle pasta and both were delicious!
The drinks were pretty mediocre and the wine felt a little overpriced. We also felt the meal itself was somewhat overpriced for the portion size.
We thought the food was quite good but for the price, unless we had the credit, we would likely look elsewhere.

Lark is an excellent choice for a special occasion in Seattle. Pricing is a little high for the portion sizes, but it’s still a great place for celebrating something meaningful.
