"The best restaurant on the near Main Line is Lark, the Bala sister of East Passyunk’s Laurel. The view overlooking the Schuylkill river and neighboring Manayunk is unparalleled. So are the drinks and service. Go for a special occasion, date night, or cocktails around the fire pits with friends. The menu changes often, but the pastas, grilled octopus, strip steak, and shareable vegetable-forward dishes remain fantastic." - jonathan deutsch
