Good food, but slightly underwhelming for the price point. Paid 200$ for 3 small plates and 2 drinks each. Maybe 25%+ higher than I would have expected for the quantity+quality. It always comes down to value, the meal was good, but nothing drawing me back unfortunately. I think there are better experiences if you are looking to spend that much.Food 7.5Service 8Atmosphere 8.5Value 6

This is one of those places that you go to because it is the best and you hear all about it.. We get there and it's really cool. The server is really nice, the food is really good and so is the wine.You are surrounded by other people eating....like 18 inches away from you. You hear everything they are saying..you hear everything that the other table next to them is saying...its tight. Sardine tight. For me that just took away from rhe amazing experience that everyone talks about.Just my opinion.

Both the food snd service were fabulous. The Lark serves everything family style. The server was very helpful in deciding what to order and how many dishes. Each item is uniquely prepared and delicious. Food is brought to the table in a timely manner. No rushing. This was our first time snd will definitely return when back in SB.

Each dish was as good as the last. Excellent customer service. Very fun place to eat. All the attention to detail is very evident, and it feels as if you are the VIP guest but it was clear each table was having the same treatment. Definitely coming back to try each seasonal menu. 9.3/10*Update still good

Went here for brunch after reading many good reviews, was not disappointed! The food was amazing, I recommend the egg frittata and the otsters, and don't forget to get a fresh croissant, and a gin fizz if you're up for a drink. Just a short walk from the Hilton through the funk zone, a nice outdoor atmosphere and the service was great. Be sure to make a reservation online and you will be seated directly.

we enjoyed our meal here. I had a beautiful pasta dish, my wife a tuna sashimi. The highlight was a crispy brussels sprout dish with huge brussel sprouts with a great sauce, Once again, you can only get such fresh vegetables in restaurants out here. This is not to be missed.

Very high class American restaurant! Things here are a little pricey but you will get a high quality meal. The chicken and Pappardelle were wonderful! Also the popcorn and brussel sprouts are a must try. Our waitress was so kind and generous too. Overall we had a great experience.

Pretty fancy place I went for valentines day. Was a great experience with some food I've never had. Personally everything was top notch and was a little saddened to find out they change their menu often so there won't always be the same options next time you go.The popcorn they served for snacking was insanely good and they sell to go bags of it for like 5$Overall a little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for.Service was great and was able to work with a dietary restriction of lactose intolerance for my date.See pictures of everything if your curious ?Was about 170$ out the door with tip and no desert so keep that in mind before going.

The food was exceptional! The service was very good and the waitress was attentive. They served us complimentary gourmet popcorn which was AMAZING!We ordered a green salad which was very nice and had the duck confit and pork ribs for dinner. Everything tasted 10/10 and was cooked to perfection and full of flavor.They had an extensive fine wine list and many options to choose from which was great.They gave us complimentary bubbly at the end because it was Valentine’s day which was a nice touch.Would highly recommend this place if you’re in town!

Laid back, delicious. We sat on the patio, which was very nice, and covered (it was raining). Staff was extremely friendly. Everything we tried was great, I don't think you can go wrong.
