July 17th, 2009

Picture 13Lark features a range of seasonal small plates, allowing you to savor a range of cheese, charcuterie, vegetables, grains, fish, and meats meant to inspire communal dining with waves of courses coming to your table.

Chef Johnathan Sundstrom, who was also named the 2007 Best Chef of the Northwest by the James Beard Foundation, works with local artisans, farmers, and foragers to create an ever-changing menu that is a blend of simple, seasonal, classic, and adventurous dishes within an elegant-rustic dining room. My personal favorite dishes include: Bluebird Grain Farms farro, Foie gras, Carpaccio of Yellowtail, the Branzino, Crispy pork belly and virtually anything on the menu with Burrata. If you like dessert, you can’t go wrong with the House made malt ice cream or the tarte tatin.
