What people say about The Lark
The Lark usually gets rave reviews because of its vibrant Funk Zone ambiance, top-notch service, and shareable meals that are innovative but not overdone. Some of the crowd favorites include crispy Brussels sprouts, fried chicken, shrimp toast, and seasonally based vegetable platters, along with its cocktail offerings. The patio area adds an extra element of charm to the restaurant for dates or large parties. However, there is a smaller contingent of customers who complain that some portion sizes are small for the price or that some sauces are too rich.
About The Lark
