Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in International District

An incredible experience. We chose Lark for a belated Valentine's dinner, so both chose the 4-course tasting menu. Fine dining is a new experience for us, but our waitress was there to answer any and every question we had and provide a wonderful experience. We loved every dish, our cocktails, and the exquisite wine selection. While it can be pricey, highly recommend Lark for a special occasion dinner. You won't be disappointed.

The food was good, as usual, but pricey. The server was exceptionally attentive and friendly. The restaurant website shows valet parking @ $8.00 but the parking lot charged $12 (plus tax) so this should be "fixed" so that customers have accurate information. There is a 5% service charge for minimum wage adjustment. This was not evident until we received the bill ... not that it would have changed our mind about dining here but some sort of footnote on the menu would have been appreciated.

EXCEPTIONAL Paella this evening. The fresh mussels, clams, shrimp, chorizo sausage, chicken, veggies, and authentic Spanish crispy rice were the best ever!! Our server and service were perfect also. Terra Plata's attention to allergies and customer satisfaction are always consistent and greatly appreciated. Beautiful setting to enjoy too.

Had such a lovely time at The George. Our server was divine, helpful, and super accommodating. Lovely ambiance and overall a terrific experience!

Food was phenomenal all around. We started with the rye bread and the pork belly appetizer, which were both amazing. My wife had the cacio e pepe and I had the short rib with risotto, which both had excellent depths of flavor.
