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.

    It’s been several years since our last visit and I am kicking myself for that. We had a great booth by the front window and started off with some house cocktails that were fantastic. Next was a dozen oysters followed by the 4 course tasting menu including the “special” pasta (a spot prawn spaghetti with just a hint of sauce). While all dishes were executed perfectly, the duck breast was by far our favorite. The tasting wine pairing was matched absolutely perfectly with each course. Kudos to our server Carlo and all of the FOH staff who kept the table spotless, the waters filled, and the service top notch. I’ll not let 6 years go by again and am looking forward to bringing my whole family this summer.

    The food was so close to being exceptional but was bland in some instances. A little more guidance from the staff would’ve gone along way.

    Anna, Steven and the whole crew took amazing care to see we had a table sitting next to each other rather than across. Gave us great info on selections and the food was just amazing.

    An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Lark From the moment we walked in, everything at Lark was absolute perfection. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and upscale, with thoughtful touches everywhere you look. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive without ever feeling overbearing. Every dish that came out of the kitchen was a masterpiece. You can tell the chefs put heart and soul into each plate—from the stunning presentation to the layers of flavor in every bite. Even the smallest details, like the bread service and seasonal garnishes, felt intentional and elevated the whole experience. The pacing of the meal was spot-on, and the dessert? Unreal. Lark isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience, and they’ve mastered every element of it. Can’t wait to come back!

    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.
