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.

    Honestly…the food was mid for the price. The wagyu was legitimately terrible.

    The appetizers were okay - decent, fresh, tasty, and well portioned. The entries were very delicious, well prepared, however, the portions were roughly 1/3 what I would expect. $48 for a very tiny plate of paste with 3 pieces of shrimp, even for a high-end restaurant is not acceptable. Will not be returning.

    Lark is fantastic. All the food was incredible and the cocktails were tasty. The price was more than reasonable for the quality of food and service. We will be back soon.

    The drinks were decent, not the best or most interesting. My espresso martini was just okay the food was really good, however the endive tarte tatin got a little to caramelized when they cooked it so the top was kind.of burnt and sticky The restaurant is very nice and the staff was great!

    We were a party of 6 out for a birthday dinner which was delightful. We were seated upstairs and enjoyed a quiet atmosphere for conversation. The food was beautifully presented and delicious: arros negre with mussels, chorizo and octopus, gnocchi with mushrooms, and the spaghetti of the day. There were great wine by the glass options and imaginative cocktails.

    Have dined here for over a decade. Every entree was not up to usual standards and were overcooked and either too mild or too rich. Bizarre.
