Philadelphia's 8 Best New Restaurants Of 2022

"You know how after you see an incredible movie, you have to let everyone in your contacts know about it? It’s because truly great things are rare and exciting. And no place has us more excited for a date night than Lark. From the balcony overlooking the Schuylkill to the fireplaces, candlelight, and glowing mirrors, the Mediterranean restaurant from the team behind Laurel feels like the most romantic place on earth. The plates of roasted beet mezzalune with brown butter, citrusy grilled trout with a harissa-pine nut sauce, and perfectly seared steak make us feel especially warm and fuzzy inside. Before you’re seated, sip on a gorgeous cocktail by the patio fire pits, and get ready for a meal you won’t be able to keep to yourself. " - alison kessler, candis mclean
