About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Charming
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.

    Lark was superb from start to finish. We went for the four-course tasting menu - highly recommend! Each course was beautiful and absolutely delicious. The oysters and the duck breast stood out in particular. If you’re looking for fine-dining in Seattle, you must go to Lark!

    Lark was great! The owner greeted us at the door and took us to our table. Our waitress Anna is is the best. Super friendly and gave us excellent recommendations for dinner. This is a must place when in Seattle.

    There was no aspect of our dinner at Lark that was anything less than superlative. From the initial greeting to the friendly and attentive (but in no way overbearing) service, the hospitality was on point. And the food was even better than the service. We did the four course prix fixe with an initial cocktail and wine with dinner, and there was not a single flavor that we didn't love. While I'm only a visitor to Seattle occasionally, I hope to be back at Lark for my next trip.

    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.
