"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."

Atmospheric restaurant with great farm to table menu that was well executed. Very friendly staff and knowledge wait staff that perfectly described all the dishes and wines. Fantastic flavors! We had the roasted asparagus which was not only beautiful but roasted with a tasty Jalapeno Bearnaise sauce that was flavorful but not spicy. The brown butter cornbread was sweet and savory with a wonderful rosemary aroma. The California Catch was a lightly seared big eye tuna .. Very fresh and perfectly donel! The outdoor area where we were seated was cozy, next to the roaring fireplace which felt wonderful on this chilly evening. My only complaint was that after out appetizers when it plates were chea...

The experience was good here. The service was good. The food was good. Ambience was good. The big crowd no to that. The food is suggested as sharable but we found the portions to be too big. For the 2 of us the 4 things we had gotten (suggested 3 4) left us stuffed. If a little smaller we would have been left feeling good. Nothing was a wow factor or mine blowing. The Duck Liver was good just wished had more strawberry pieces to go with each bite. The pork chop was well cooked but had something missing. The mussels needed something to help soak up all the broth besides 2 pieces of toast.

The lark is a fantastic restaurant in the middle of the funk zone. The boyfriend and I stopped by right as they were opening for dinner. (This is what happens when you’re from the Central American and it’s past dinner time. We snagged two seats at the bar and had a great time with a dry humored bartender who gave us a list of all the best cocktails in town. His drinks were well crafted. Food was solid and came out quickly. All in all, we had a great experience at the Lark.

Dined here recently during our trip to Santa Barbara. Lark came very strongly recommended so we had sky high expectations. Lark has some pretty inventive and unique dishes. It's a family style oriented restaurant so you order plates to share. Every dish was unique and composed with a variety of textures, flavors, colors, and tastes. Whoever is making their sauces deserves a pay raise they were crazy good. Service was great as well. Overall wonderful experience
