Lark

Excellent service and food

We went to Lark for your husband’s b-day. We really enjoyed it. The food was really nice and the service was excellent. We really recommend the beef tartare it was the best dish we had there. The only thing we didn’t like was the dessert (matcha cake) and I’m a sweets kind of person.

Good good good

Great. Wonderful food.

We weren't very hungry so we were undecided as to how much we would be eating but planned a complete dinner. Started with appetizers. Had a dozen oysters which were fresh and delicious. Served with lemon and a mignonette. The mignonette did not come with a spoon which was odd so I used my teaspoon. Then had the kale salad with green goddess dressing which was very good, followed by the super delicious grilled pate. The pate was fresh and oh so yummy - best in town IMO. However, the service took so long (the waitress had to stop by to ask us whether we ordered the salad), that we had two and a half glasses of wine each and still weren't through the appetizers after 90 minutes, so we skipped the main course and decided to go elsewhere for dessert. We even fantasized about going to Dick's to satisfy our craving for a small main course. The food is very good, but we won't hurry back unless we want to hang out and have glasses of wine as we wait for our a 2-2.5 hour dining "experience to make its way to us."

Always a great meal at Lark. Their servers are amazing and really care about your experience. They've never disappointed me or my guests.

Everything tasted fantastic. Lark pays special attention to bringing unique flavors to every dish.

Lark was fantastic, as always and the special, a mushroom, Gnocchi, with gorgonzola, was amazing! As good as the food was and it really was, we lucked out with an excellent server. Prompt without being intrusive, good recommendations on switching up the order of the courses, and excellent wine description. Definitely our favorite local Seattle restaurant!

Incorrect order and poor service.

Shocked at the arrogance of the staff. Seemed our visit was an inconvenience. Only worsened when the special we ordered was incorrectly placed and to make matters worse they ran out of the originally ordered item. “We are sorry we messed up your order, we are now out of fish but we have plenty of meat options for you....”.

Too many choices of great food in Seattle to bother visiting here again.

We loved the creative and also comfort-food style here. Our waitress was incredibly well educated on the menu and helped us understand each intricate part of our meal - especially helpful for my vegetarian husband!

We loved eating at Lark. The food was delicious and the ambiance was nice and warm. The place is decorated quite well, and we really enjoyed sitting there. Our waiter was also quite helpful with our needs and preferences, and we really enjoyed eating there.

The one minus in our opinion was that you do not get a lot of food. I don't mind food being pricey, or that you emphasize quality, but the fact that I actually ordered a *burger* at the comedy club we visited afterwards says a lot. Regardless, not a deal breaker IMHO.

Would visit again.

The food and service could not have been better. The owner was warm and accommodating when we asked to move and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The food was executed with fine technique and care. A lovely restaurant for any occasion or none at all.

Wonderful meal. Wonderful service. Perfect anniversary dinner. We will be back- long before our next anniversary!

This is a fine upscale restaurant, but nothing special in the Seattle scene. It's average, not great, not bad.

Great time!

Our favorite meal in Seattle thus far! We will definitely be going back.

This was the fourth time I’ve been to Lark for dinner and I have to say this will be the last time! I don’t know if they have undergone new management since the last time I was there but I have to say the only thing that was the same was the location.
I was out with a group of friends to enjoy the evening and despite the fact that the restaurant was nearly empty, service was slow we were seated by the door which was cold we asked to be moved they moved us over one table again next to the door. Had to eat dinner with our coats on. Bottom line was the food wasn’t good. Barely palatable... I could have had better at a Sizzler... I took one of the pork chops home with me as a leftover, the next day I cut it open and discovered that it was raw, yes raw. please see the photo underneath. Raw pork.
I will never go back to Lark !!

Nice place, good food, pleasant service ! Plus a quiet place where we could discuss without need for megaphones ...

Excellent as always. Fantastic black kale salad and the Pommes de terre are always a knockout.

It has been a while since we visited. On this time, the flavors did not strike as well as before. The oysters and cheese plate were excellent. (Why are crackers extra when cheese is ordered?) The mains did not quite hit as well. The rigatoni was the best of the three. Cannelloni were very heavy with sauce. Pork belly bbq a bit too sweet for taste. Wine was a PNW Grenache - outstanding.

Very enjoyable dinner, able to converse easily with my dinner companion,.will be back.

Loved the menu, especially appetizers. Duck was delicious.

Our server was impeccable, even recognizing a look on my face when I incredulously realized the beautiful bottle of Meursault was corked. We tried to drink it not wanting to believe it was corked but our server caught that my face reflected that the first sip wasn't right. She graciously took it back and brought us another bottle that was perfect, not corked. That started a lovely evening of fabulous hamachi crudo, cheese then entrees. Was not particularly pleased with the Bison. It arrived relatively cold and was chewy but after the wine issue, I didn't feel comfortable sending my dish back. Nonetheless, it was a lovely evening and my guests meal as exceptionally yummy. Will definitely be back. Thank you Lark!

The food was mostly very good, but a few items in the plates were below average. The dessert I had was underwhelming. Our services could have been better though. Our waters went empty for a while and he Alamo’s threw the dessert menus on our table without saying a word to us.

Food was very good. Expensive and can’t get over that there was a $6 charge for bread! It’s included on the east coast which is where we are visiting from.

Lark consistently serves outstanding dishes, sourced locally and presented beautifully. I typically order their seafood dishes, and am always impressed. Save room for dessert!

My fiancée and I had a wonderful experience at Lark. The food was outstanding, the service was amazing, and our overall experience was well worth it. If you’re looking for a high end restaurant with great ambiance, outstanding food, and knowledgeable servers, Lark is the place for you!

Completely mediocre

Lark never fails to please. Great owners/chef; great, creative food paired with comfort staples. Consistent quality and service. One of my favorites.

Overall a very positive dining experience. Attentive and timely service and absolutely delicious food and drinks. Pleasant, quiet setting. The only complaint I can make is that our side dish was forgotten so then delayed, but it certainly won't put me off going back!

It’s a very small and cozy environment with a romantic setting. The food is delicious and the portions are not too big. A perfect place for a date :-)

Server was great. Food was good but not exceptional. Might have been an off night.

Although we are longtime area residents, this was our first meal at Lark. We brought a “foodie” who was visiting from New Orleans (works in the industry there). We were all delighted with our meals, shared plates, etc. The menu offered more choices than we expected; drinks, wine options all good. It was altogether a very nice evening at Lark.

Had another perfect meal. Lettuce salad had wonderful house pickled chioggia beets ( big enough for 2.) Followed by the half serving of perfectly executed meat pasta. Had room for apple tartin and decaf. Nice wines too: a Gruner and Nebbiolo .

Pedestrian. Hard to enjoy what can be done better in my own kitchen.

There is a reason Lark has been around as long as it has. Lovely atmosphere. Great service. Delicious food. All the ingredients for a wonderful evening.

Amazing experience with amazing food. Not one thing I would change

My only request would be for more veggies on the menu, and at least 2-3 with simpler low-fat preparation.

Amazing experience! From the server who was so knowledgeable and friendly to the incredible wild boar trotolle - this restaurant went FAR above expectations. Oh and the blue velvet fabric on the benches and chairs is photo ready! I cannot recommend this place enough!

Very overrated. Unimaginative food that anyone could prepare at home. Not a chef restaurant, more like a bistro.
