Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Mercer Island

An incredible experience. We chose Lark for a belated Valentine's dinner, so both chose the 4-course tasting menu. Fine dining is a new experience for us, but our waitress was there to answer any and every question we had and provide a wonderful experience. We loved every dish, our cocktails, and the exquisite wine selection. While it can be pricey, highly recommend Lark for a special occasion dinner. You won't be disappointed.

Always a good experience here. Small, intimate, not pretentious, excellent service. You can find a less expensive steak at other venues, but the value here is the total experience. For those choosing to come, be advised that there is parking directly behind the restaurant. Don't drive yourself into a psychotic state looking for on-street parking.

What an incredible experience overall! Everything we had was absolutely amazing, from drinks and appetizers to the entrees. The staff was very kind and attentive, and we can’t wait to come back!

Luis and the food were amazing! Spinasse continues to be our favorite!

Wonderful staff and service. Food is excellent. Well worth the price for special occasions. Only concern is the recently implemented 22% service charge. It’s not clear if this benefits the staff but they’ve also added in a like that gratuity is not expected. Would like to see an assurance that this fee goes to taking care of staff with higher wages, good benefits, etc.
