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.

    We left hungry, after coming here for years for special occasions we were excited for a nice dinner out to celebrate a special occasion. The food was lovely and we still love Lark but we were both disappointed leaving after three appetizers two mains and a dessert and still being both pretty hungry the portions were incredibly small for the mains probably won’t be coming back anytime soon. For the amount of money we spent for dinner we should’ve definitely left full!

    This is a sophisticated and elegant venue with attentive service, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and delightful presentations (our table had the tasting menu). We selected wines by the glass and were impressed by the selections. We’ll be back.

    For starters we had their Hamachi and chanterelle mushroom soup.. and for main courses the black cod and the squab (which is basically a pigeon)… both didn’t disappoint. When it came time for dessert we settled on the crème brule cake and the hibiscus red wine poached pear… that’s when our tastes buds just exploded… wow wow wow… props to their chefs… definitely coming again.

    Food is pretty good but priced way too high for the quality and portion sizes. Pet peeve: they take your drink order right away, and drinks arrived 15 minutes later. Barely before the food. A restaurant trying to be this upscale should have drinks on your table promptly.

    If you are celebrating a special occasion, or just want a fabulous NW cuisine meal, Lark is your restaurant. A Seattle mainstay, the food, service and ambience are always first class. It is pricey? Yes. But at about 2.5X the price of a crappy take-out meal from an average place, Lark restores your faith that dining out is still a very nice thing to do,
