About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
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. Visit our elegant space in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, easily accessible from Downtown Seattle, and experience our James Beard Award-winning food and hospitality.

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.

Excellent experience all the way around. Lovely space, nice atmosphere; open but affords privacy. Wonderful upstairs area. Food masterfully prepared; my first time here and I think it’s one of my favorites now. Outstanding service. A bit limited on gluten-free options, but willing to customize some dishes. Would recommend.

Overall an amazing experience. Service was impeccable as was the quality of the ingredients. The menu was presented and coursed out perfectly during service. Drinks were beautifully balanced and needed nothing extra. The affogato at the end was the perfect complement to finish off our meal and perfect for sharing!

Started with our seating. We were at a table that was set in a pass through for diners to get to the bathroom (shared with the building) and the staff to get supplies, so almost constant flow of people. Didn’t help. Food was fussy and overwrought, and very expensive, but not surprisingly great. Tough duck, overly hot halibut, strange all around. Wait staff was very nice but not so attentive (perhaps because we were hidden away) . Maybe just not my cup of tea. But it wasn’t for any of the 6 In our party either.

Lark continues to be one of my favorite spots. Dinner was once again excellent. I really enjoy the menu, interesting and varied with very deliberate thoughtfulness. I definitely enjoy the physical space, the ambience and feel is cleanly elegant and welcoming. Our server was a top-notch professional, who elevated the experience and helped us with some useful suggestions and insights.
