About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Romantic
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.

    Good upscale restaurant experience. Our server was pleasant and helpful, and the food was excellent, beginning to end. With a tab of about $400 for a party of three, I was not happy to see an added 4% "service charge" that specified 100% was for management, in other words, not a tip for the server. I'm not a fan of these charges: please restaurants, just charge the prices on the menu you need to charge and skip the hidden fees. The manager cheerfully took the charge off the bill at my request.

    I’ll start by saying the service was top tier, and the restaurant itself is beautiful. Unfortunately, the food fell very flat. We had the unagi, of which the skin was so chewy it was completely inedible. The cocktails were ok, but at $22 each felt extremely overpriced. Our waitress was wonderful and very kindly removed the unagi from our bill, again speaking to the wonderful service and attentiveness. While it’s possible we received a one-off lackluster dish, I don’t think I’d recommend Lark to any travelers coming through the Seattle area.

    Went here for a date and in terms of ambience, if you can, sit in the upstairs dining area. The food was AMAZING and the service was very good. Money well spent and I highly recommend eating here at least once.
