Four of us decided to give Lark a try. Upon entering and a recent Sunday evening we were surprised to find most of the tables empty. By the end of our "meal" I think I understand why. Lark bills the food as "small plates". It is actually "large plates" with very little food! Each item is barely enough to be considered a portion. The food to price ratio is ridiculous. Our server was adequate but not very engaging. The atmosphere was like an army barracks with tables. Seating was uncomfortable and begs you to eat and get out. The food itself was uninspired. While the menu description made the items sound interesting, the execution was lacking. The gnuddi was just ok. The 3 cheese plate had such a small sliver of each cheese it was laughable (crackers extra$). The salmon had skin on which would be fine, but they left the scales on also. Veal sweetbreads were laying in a bland sauce and overcooked. Deserts were pretty good and they have a small but decent wine list.
They are too many better choices for small plate dining in Seattle. The owner(s) should try being a customer in their own place and see if they would come back.
