"Lark is Philly's best date night spot. The cozy booths, chandeliers, and candle light make this Bala restaurant perfect for a special evening, but the balcony elevates it to the most romantic place in the city. There’s a great view of the Schuylkill River, and while you can't have a full meal out there, you can still lounge at one of their outdoor fire pits and enjoy a cocktail. The Mediterranean menu changes often, but all of the bigger plates work well for two. Make sure to order things from every section of the menu, including a few plates of pasta and definitely a large entree—the grilled trout and strip steak are favorites. The next time your anniversary rolls around, ditch the lame Hallmark card and just book a table at Lark instead." - Candis Mclean, Alison Kessler
