Barolo Ristorante, Lark, Lola, Dahlia or Poppy?

Hey fellow Chowhounders,

My husband and I are heading to Seattle for the weekend and want some good eats for dinner and we're trying to decide between Barolo, Lark, Lola, Dahlia or Poppy... What are your thoughts?

Thanks,
Vancouver Chowhounder

    So... After (finally) deciding to eat at either Corson or S&S, I tried to make reservations and couldn't get in to either. Bummer... The guy at S&S highly recommended Harvest Vine so that's where we ended up. We had the beet salad, seared foie gras, short ribs, grilled octopus and finally the cuttlefish with squid ink pasta. Fantastic food, great service and atmosphere! Corson, S&S and Poppy will be on the short list for our next SEA visit :)

    Thanks so much for all your advice!

      Okay, upon browsing the other posts there seems to be a few more contenders for dinner. We have a car and are willing to travel... Would Corson Building, Book Bindery or Sitka and Spruce trump Poppy?

        You can't go wrong with any of your add-ons dms. I would skip Lola altogether unless I was just looking for breakfast.

          Poppy first, then Corson, then S&S would be my order.

            Agreed although I haven't been to Book Bindery.

              For me Corson or S&S > Poppy, unless you are really into the thali concept, although I love Poppy's desserts. These two and Book Bindery are all better than the others originally mentioned.

            Thanks for the advice! I will try Poppy out (and possibly Lark... then off to Lola for brunch, lol) and report back. We'll also be checking out Serious Pie and Salumi for lunch :D Hopefully the lines won't drive us away!

              If you like Vij then I would highly suggest Poppy. If Salt is more your speed then Lark. Between Lola and Dahlia I would recommend Lola. Or try Lola for breakfast/brunch.

                For me, that decision would be easy--Poppy. You just aren't going to find anyplace else like it. I would scratch Barolo off the list. I'm not saying it's not good, but check out the menu online--you can find this stuff, done well, in almost any city.
