a birthday dinner at lark in seattle.
we spent james's birthday in seattle this year! it was a day and a half layover on our way to iceland, and we decided to have his birthday dinner at lark.
lark fashioned.
cider on draft.
half dozen northwest pacific oysters.
house bread with salted butter and smoked lardo.
seared foie gras with honeycomb, rhubarb agrodolce, pistachio and watercress.
montana wagyu steak tartare with capers, cornichons, aioli, crackers.
penn cove mussels with baby chorizo, sherry-piquillo pepper broth, charred crouton.
we had a really lovely late-night meal. the mussels and elk loin were the standouts for me, though everything was so good i kept eating. we totally over ordered and were bursting at the seams by the end of it. especially since they brought us an extra dessert when they heard it was a birthday dinner!
semolina gnocchi with nettles, pine nut "risotto", parmigiano-reggiano, nettle chips.
bison tenderloin with maple bbq rockwell beans, blue cheese, cornbread croutons.
elk loin with charred onions, red wine salsify, maitake mushrooms, gremolata.
caramelized banana split with theo chocolate ice cream, peanut brittle, chocolate cake and smoked marshmallow.
coconut sorbet with passionfruit curd, basil seeds, pili nut crumble and coconut meringue.
