Wonderful experience at Lark! We took advantage of the four course offering and each course was better than the last. We had excellent service throughout the entire meal and we couldn't be happier!

Excellent place to celebrate a special occasion. The food was delicious and creative. The chef gave alot of thought in their dishes. The staff was attentive And offered great suggestions and made our night special. Definitely go there again.

Sat at the bar. Everything about the dinner was excellent but the service from Lauren exceeded expectations. Her knowledge of the menu and even more the wine and spirits to choose from was impressive. She made the evening memorable. And the food by itself pretty much did that too.

We ordered the champagne and shellfish experience. It was a lovely evening. The food was delicious and everyone took good care of us over the course of the night. What a special experience.

We loved the space and the cocktails, but the food was very disappointing. We enjoyed our starters, but our second courses were not enjoyable. We had the duck confit and the wild boar “ragu” bucatini. The duck was dry, to the point of being difficult to eat. The “ragu” was an off-putting pink/violet color with a watery and boring sauce. The boar itself was tasty, but the overall dish was poor. Overall, very disappointed with our experience and the quality of food for the money.

Overall most dishes were a bit disappointing. I loved the beautiful atmosphere and the staff kept their eyes on our drinks and were attentive. We got the crudo and loved the flavor! I was not a fan of the dashi as it lacked flavor and the pork trotter was not quite what we expected. I got the bucatini and it was kind of cold and the onions should have been cut up as they were very strong. My partner got the elk loin chop and they said it was good but the kasha cake was a bit odd. Finally, the torte for dessert was honestly awful. It was cold and stale. We talked with the staff and they were wonderful and immediately replaced it with the lemon Meyer parfait. Overall, wonderful staff and atmosphere, there was just a lot lacking in the food and flavors.

Everything was outstanding. We visited during the winter menu. Highly recommend the ravioli and the hamachi. Scallops were cooked perfectly. We also had a green papaya ahi tuna special that was delicious- it had a bit of heat to it because of the chili- which paired nicely with the kabinett Riesling. Cocktail wise- the Weight of Dream cocktail was so good, my spouse ordered two. Attention to detail and service was impeccable. Bravo, team. Thanks for making it an unforgettable birthday meal.

Fresh ingredients. Genuinely astonishing food with unique and surprising flavor profiles. Servers were friendly and attentive. We enjoyed every minute of our meal at Lark and would recommend this to anyone without hesitation!

My partner and I had a lovely date night here for his 25th Birthday! The service was excellent, they even gave us complementary glasses of prosecco to celebrate! The food was delicious, we highly recommend the farro dish they currently have. The new location is wonderful, it is spacious and, unlike many restaurants these days, the noise level was low enough for us to have a conversation without shouting across the table! We would highly recommend and will hopefully be back for another meal!

Food was excellent, service was on-point, menu was creative yet comfortable , and the atmosphere was elegant yet laid back. The only drawback is the parking situation in the area...it can be incredibly challenging to find a place on the street, though there are parking lots and garages relatively close but be prepared to shell out a pretty penny to park there. Parking situation or not... I can't wait to to back!
OMG the seafood and champagne experience was amazing!! Jonathan Sundstrom himself plated our food and was available to chat throughout the meal! Everything was delicious and so unique, lots of exciting flavors for the sauces/garnishes. We absolutely loved the whole experience! Impeccable service. We can't wait to return.

We went to Lark for the first time for our 18th anniversary. Even though it was a very cold, snowy night, we really wanted to stick to the exact date to celebrate.Many restaurants in Seattle these days are kind of packed with tables, narrow, and very noisy.We were hoping to get a quiet booth, and we did. The spacious inside, pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, very tasty food and friendly workers, made everything perfect. We are quite satisfied and happy. Thank you!

Very nice ambiance. Friendly efficient service. My wife ordered the duck and tried to enjoy it but found it very chewy and decided to let the manager know. The manager quickly apologized and asked my wife to choose another entreè from the menu. She chose the pasta with squash and pepitas and was very pleased with her second choice. I had the Alaskan black cod which was delicious and well spiced. We enjoyed a white wine from Spain that we selected from a wide variety of international wines on the wine list. The chocolate mint dessert was wonderful especially with the ruby port, which I enjoyed or coffee, which my wife enjoyed. We were not billed for the duck dinner. Total price was a somewhat high but probably average for the area and type of restaurant.

Expensive, and incredible. We asked for the back room which is a lot quieter and easy to talk in a group of 6. Elegant and comfortable service from Guinevere. Daily appetizer of caviar and aioli on avocado was heavenly - but ask the price before ordering. ($90 for an appetizer? Wow.) The lobster bisque poured tableside looked beautiful but didn't get rave reviews from the 3 who had it. The elk was incredibly tender and umami-delicious and flavorful, and the roasted cabbage and kasha (buckwheat) cake was the perfect accompaniment. The chocolate cake with candy-cane meringue was outstanding, rich, and satisfying.

Loved the first two Courses. Magnificent! The meat course was fatty (beef) and the duck was a bit tough. Server was very gracious, but seemed understaffed and slow. We waited for 30 min on arrival for drinks and bread. Overall experience was lovely, but a bit disappointed too.
