Best American Restaurants in Mount Baker

Smoked tuna appetizer was amazing, followed by seared halibut, beef short ribs and a bone in ribeye steak covered with a Tasso and crawfish sauce. Pecan pie for desert with coffee. Our server Bridget was outstanding and we wanted for nothing. Great meal, we love this place.

It was very nice tea time there ! We had a great time! Only one thing I was disappointed that we didn’t get tea as gift take it home…

My group of 4 were seated outside for dinner. It was rainy and somewhat cold, and our server offered us blankets to stay warm. There was also an overhead heater that kept us cozy. The restaurant was out of lemonade and sweet tea, but our server offered a "dealer's choice" non-alcoholic drink which was refreshing and delicious. It was a pink drink that had a sprig of rosemary in it (rosemary happens to be my favorite herb). Everything we ordered for food was delicious and cooked well. The hoe cakes (3 in an order) were moist and buttery. The mussels and clams dish was so good, and the sauce they came in was very flavorful with a slight spicy kick. We also got the mojo chicken over garlic rice and the unc's fried chicken which were very tender. The grilled okra with onions as well as the collard greens were really good sides. For dessert, we had the salted caramel ice cream and bread pudding which were just the right amount of sweet. They serve family style here, and all the dishes were ordered were enough to satisfy a table of 4 people (our server recommended we order 5-6 dishes total). The only thing we thought was weird was the last dish to come out was the collard greens which was just weird timing to finish our meal with a side. Your whole order is put in, so things come out as they are ready to serve. Besides that, the atmosphere was lovely, and the whole experience was great. The staff here are very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and helped us make choices for what to order. I am definitely coming back and hope to get seated at a table inside because the music they play in the restaurant is some soulful rhythm and blues.

We ordered half a dozen or so small plates for the table to share, and every single one of them was outstanding. The larger dish that we had - squid ink cacarecce - is a new menu item since the last time we dined at Lark, and was unbelievably delicious. Creme brulee cake was the winner for dessert. Our server was very attentive, paced the courses well, and made sure we were out in plenty of time to attend a performance we had tickets for. Chef John stopped by the table to chat for a few minutes as well. We really couldn't have asked for better food or service. Can't wait for our next visit to Lark.

I think this place is a hidden gem. Always a pleasurable experience. Attentive and courteous staff. Excellent menu and bar.
