Larks Home Kitchen Cuisine

I’ve been there several times on special occasions. The third or fourth time I was actually able to meet the executive chef; Franco. I called him, “The Culinary Maestro!” We ordered the sausage clams, pork belly Brussels sprouts with roasted hazelnuts, pork chops with polenta and kale. Finished with a butter cake. Will definitely be back again soon to enjoy a special epicurean meal from the Culinary Maestro!!!

The main dishes coming out of the kitchen looked fabulous. But when in Ashland, I head to Lark’s for a phenomenal Caesar salad with grilled chicken. This visit, the dressing was delicious. The small grilled chicken breast, however, was thin and overcooked. Same on our second salad. As far as the crispy brussels sprouts starter, personal preference. Extremely oily. While the creamy goat cheese was good, chef could choose a brighter and tarter tasting goat cheese to offset the unctuousness of the sprouts. When paying higher prices, I expect more overall. Perhaps it was an off night for the busy restaurant. A lovely by-the-glass Cava for $10!

Being at Larks is always a treat. I love the whole vibe of the restaurant and the service is friendly and attentive. There aren't many places you can get a hanger steak and they cook it to perfection. They had a breaded artichoke heart appetizer special while we were there and it was so good. I love that they have a vast wine list as well. Definitely a great spot to treat yourself, friends and family. I almost forgot about the basque cheesecake! Divine!

I ordered the fall coconut curry with jasmine rice and it was delicious. My boyfriend ordered the carbanara and he loved it. The star of the dinner was the warm butter cake. I would sell my left kidney for this recipe.

We made reservations for my husband's birthday and it was everything we expected of Larks and more. The service was fantastic, food was delicious, atmosphere warm and cozy. We love that we can always rely on Larks to be consistent in all things especially their attention to the quality of their ingredients. I so appreciated their non-alcohol Lavender Lime Drop was as beautiful and tasty as their alcohol cocktails. Thank you Larks for a wonderful evening

My in-laws have been coming to Ashland (at least) once a year for the past 20 years, and dinner at Larks is a must. My husband and I joined them this year, and they did not disappoint! The entire staff was welcoming, fun, and provided great service! We enjoyed various special/seasonal dishes as well as fan favorites (hem-hem the fried chicken). Espresso and dessert was a must, so we didn't fall asleep during the show (we were headed to)! Reservations are highly recommended!

Had a wonderful evening here celebrating my husband's birthday. The wait staff was kind and helpful. The drinks were great and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was inviting, and we both enjoyed the relaxed pace of our dining experience . We didn't feel rushed to order and the ability of just being able to sit and talk and be at our own pace gave us incredible experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Pretty room and a more formal dining spot than usual for laidback Ashland. Good food, complex, vaguely French and New American menu with a lot of entrees with a lot of sauces. Very tasty array of greens, cheese, veggies and meats from local farms. Great service, good for date night. Yes to outdoors dining but sidewalk tables outside seemed noisy.

Phenomenal!! Dined at Larks yesterday evening. Great experience. All the staff were wonderful. Ambiance was cozy, clean, and lovely. Dirty martinis and manhattans were best we've had, hands down. Rosemary butter and bread .... Yum! We each shared the grilled Caesar, truly wonderful. I'll crave that forever. We both had the halibut special... sensational! Finished with the best butter cake ever. We go to a lot of restaurants and both agree that this was one of our most favorite experiences.

Pork belly starters! Highly recommend. Salty and savory flavors with a "sushi" construction. Best to counterbalance with a fresh salad. I had the lamb bolognese pappardelle pasta, which was a hit. The pasta is made in house. Broad, tasty noodles that are elevated from what you would get at home. The burger entree looked wonderful as well. Ambience was fine with standard service. They did a great job with our large group. Restaurant is located adjacent to the hotel lobby.

Bottom line: a restaurant whose ambitions exceed its capabilities. Was there with a party of six pre-theatre on a Friday, a situation which should hardly be new for them. Entrees took a very long time to show up. When they did, my $22 burger had been sitting under a heat lamp so long juices had completely soaked through the bun, leaving a soggy mess. When we complained to management they grew very defensive and started to argue about the service. They eventually took 10 per cent off the tab, but then left on the mandatory 20% large party tip. I'm not particularly sure even a 10% net tip was justified. You can probably do better if you want a nice meal in the Ashland theater district.

My husband and I were visiting Ashland for a few days and staying at the Ashland Springs Hotel. We had a tight schedule on the day that we arrived, so I booked a reservation at Larks for dinner before our show. I am very glad that I booked ahead, because the dining room at Larks was packed on a Friday night--at least until about 7:45 when most people headed to their shows. A full dining room did not detract from the phenomenal service. Sometimes it's the little things... like the food runner knowing who ordered which entrees. Our server created a welcoming and comfortable experience to set the tone for the rest of our trip. The wine selection at Larks was pretty extensive, so the husband picked a bottle Pinot Noir by Irvine & Roberts, a local estate winery. Our server recommended checking out the nearby wineries during our Ashland visit, including Irvine & Roberts (which we ended up doing thanks to him). We then started with a shared plate of prosciutto wrapped cantaloupe on a bed of arugula which was such a fresh and unique special for the evening. I then moved on to the caesar salad which had pickled onions as a slightly odd addition--maybe a good alternative to anchovies, but it was a little acidic for me. My main dish was the Tomato Capellini, and I was very impressed! The chili flakes added just enough zing to make the dish unique but not so spicy that other flavors were overpowered. The hubs and I opted to split a pistachio orange tiramisu which was amazing!! It was brand new on the dessert menu, but it was perfection! Larks Home Kitchen Cuisine is a wonderful option for an upscale dinner in Ashland that has a laid back and comfortable vibe. I would definitely dine with Larks again--especially as as a pre-show option.

i feel like..they are trying to be fancy but it's a restaurant that's a part of a hotel so no one is dressed up. that kind of threw me off to begin with. anyway, we sat down and they had half of the table was a couch..? it was weird and it had a ton of pillows and was not close to the table. i ordered the house fettuccine i think it was called. the food took a little while to get there, but not excessively long, and they were busy so i didn't mind too much. but when my food got there, there was barely any pasta. it was mostly kale/spinach and mushrooms. but i liked it a lot actually, just not enough pasta or sausage for the amount of spinach/kale, mushrooms and the price... my boyfriend got the burger and he had literally a mountain of garlic fries. i wasn't jealous because they weren't anything special, but just kind of pointing out they are probably trying to conserve their portion sizes of specific items to save money. which is why i'm thinking they're attempting to be fancy with it...but it just came off a little bit cheap. i also got the raspberry chocolate cake with the salted caramel ice cream, and the cake slice was so small for the price :( but again it was good !! and our server was super nice and considerate about our food being slow and offered to bring us bread when we asked about our food :)

Nice upscale space, friendly service, very good food a bit on the expensive side. The home made soup is worth ordering but the Caesar salad was nothing special. Grilled Pork Chop was perfect, as was the Duck Leg confit, Grilled Hangar Steak and Curry. Might stay in the very nice hotel next time in town so likely will be returning.

Their tea made me feel like a British old lady so you know they did it just right! Haha & their charcuterie board was actually v fresh and rlly good :-) Ambiance is classic & a little bland but hey overall it's a minimalist vibe too :)

We went to Lark's for dinner and enjoyed a truly wonderful meal! Tip: Lark's Home Kitchen is inside the Ashland Springs Hotel. Visiting Lark's for dinner, we ordered several dishes and shared them all family-style. All of our selections were tasty and beautifully presented, with the portion sizes being "just right". Service was every bit as good as the food - our waitress was knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful. Thanks to her (I regret that I didn't make a note of her name) our meal was a total five star experience. I wouldn't hesitate to return, and highly recommend this place for great food and service!

We were in Ashland to see plays and that meant a visit to Larks. My personal favorite there. We had cocktails to start. My niece had a Marion berry martini and I had the Rogue Pear cocktail. The martini was delicious - just the right combination of sweet and tart. The pear cocktail was unremarkable and tasted more like vanilla than pear. They serve a ginger pear martini seasonally and this did not hold a candle to that. If you see the pear martini on the menu, try it! We ordered the pork chop and the curried tofu. Both were delightful. I am not a vegetarian but am a huge tofu fan and my dish did not disappoint. The pork was served on polenta and wilted greens. All the elements on the plate were delicious. We ordered a side of bread with butter. There was a very small amount of bread and an over abundance of butter. We would advise them to switch that up and serve more bread and less butter. The service was smooth and seamless. Our server was there when needed her and soft spoke and courteous. Just right!

For my last meal in Ashland, my classmates and I were going to see The Full Monty, but wanted to do dinner beforehand and decided on Larks. What a fun experience! It is located in the Ashland Hotel and what an interesting place! You can feel the nostalgia as soon as you enter. Really fun drink menu and a very nice wine list. We shared the tartine and clams...both sooooo good! We also tried the gluten free bread and one of us had the house bread with rosemary. I ended up getting more of the rosemary because it really tasted good with the broth from the clams! I couldn't decide between the fried chicken, the meatloaf or the grilled pork chop, but I got the meatloaf since its their signature dish. Very tasty and loved the slaw and sweet potato mash. We also had to have dessert, and ordered the flourless chocolate cake, the lavender creme brulee, the butter cake, and the special strawberry pie. All very good, especially the ginger ice cream that came with the chocolate cake. It was a great way to end our school week! Larks is a great place to come to when you want to do something special. Service was friendly and attentive without being pretentious. I appreciated that! Can't wait to return!

We staid at the ashland springs hotel and desided to have diner at Larks the place is really nice the service is excellent we ordered the pork shop and the fried chicken. The pork shop was very good food is amazing there the fried chicken was a little dry but it was good. The plates were good size they serve good portions your able to share from one plate however there is a charge for charing. Will be back

Really friendly staff. All our dishes were very tasty. Our waiter was super- offering tastes of wines when my mom wasn't sure. Grand finale chocolate was excellent. I would definitely come again. Thank you for an excellent time out!

Kevin our server was lovely. Vegetarian dish was underwhelming. Drinks great. $26 entree needs to be better!.

I used to love Larks, after years of not being able to go there I finally returned and had the special market fish which was salmon with hazelnut. It was very bland and was not the best, it also didn't really come with any pairing sides so I ordered Brussels. I guess is wasn't what I remembered they used to have such flavorful assortments on their entrees but not the case this time.

the larks home kitchen is a must visit while you're in ashland! the ambiance classic, sophisticated, friendly service and most importantly not pretentious at all! the food apple cider brined & grilled carlton farms pork chop- wow! nicely flavored and tender. cooked medium. larks pork & beef meatloaf local box r ranch beef, carlton farms pork, house carolina barbeque sauce, crispy smashed sweet potato, creamy blue cheese brussles sprout slaw this was a hearty and flavorful dish. you must try it if you're in the mood for meatloaf. the special of the day: hawaiian sword fish with thyme brown butter, oregon hazelnuts, potato leek puree, citrus fennel apple slaw another great dish. meaty and well balanced flavors.

Delicious, Elevated Traditional American Fare I'd consider this elevated traditional American cooking (if you're from SE Ohio, like me!). When I say "delicious", I mean we INHALED our food. We shared the meatloaf and fried chicken. These are meals my mamaw made when I was growing up and it was nice to revisit them. It was especially nice to revisit them with so much flavor and nuance. The 1920's bar was a sight for sore eyes. I took off one star because service was disjointed but overall a great experience/meal.

Special occasion, 31 anniversary.. Kevin was our server...really fun. The food was great. We had fried chicken and meatloaf, great plates, attention to plating and presentation.

Cream Cheese casserole was divine! Would go again just for the nacho fries and cheese sauce as well. A+ for the Larks

Had a wonderful evening here celebrating my husband's birthday. The wait staff was kind and helpful. The drinks were great and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was inviting, and we both enjoyed the relaxed pace of our dining experience . We didn't feel rushed to order and the ability of just being able to sit and talk and be at our own pace gave us incredible experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We dine at Larks every year when a group of friends visits Ashland/OSF. It is generally the social highlight of our trip. Over Labor Day weekend 2023, I ate here in a group of 7 on a Saturday night. Food at Larks is universally excellent. This is also a restaurant where the kitchen will work with you--no matter how annoying your list of allergies--to help you enjoy your meal. I love their emphasis on local sources, and the burrata & heirloom tomato dish here is the best in Ashland (as far as we can tell from trying such dishes everywhere we go.) :) This year, perhaps because it was Saturday, or because we dined a bit later (no show to hurry off to), they were almost out of the featured salmon dish when we were being told the specials. Our table got lucky, and two more plates were available for those who wanted that fish. Phew! I don't recall having two different specials gone/almost gone on earlier visits, so I think that was a fluke, possibly correlated to the Shakespeare Festival suffering to fill seats this season? While I always enjoy Larks, and my pasta this time was excellent, I was disappointed that multiple dishes I would have liked involved pork ingredients, but I avoid all pork and shellfish. (There was a rabbit croquette appetizer I would have loved, but the rabbit itself was seared in pork fat, I think the server said.) This may be a one off, like running out of fish, but I will review again if it becomes harder for my dietary needs to be met at this otherwise favorite restaurant of mine. I found the server at Larks to be wonderful; service was professional and polished, as one hopes to find in a fine dining establishment. As I commented in my review of nearby Alchemy, Ashland seems to have kept trained wait staff, post-pandemic, in a way that other destinations I've visited in 2022-23 could not. Certainly I have seen a lot more service failures at expensive restaurants in New England, where I live. I love the ambience at Larks, and I have started staying at the Ashland Springs Hotel on some visits in part because of my love of its old fashioned decor. Both the hotel and the restaurant are an easy, relatively flat walk to the OSF theatres, as well, which is a huge factor for those of us with mobility challenges! (Tip: take the hotel lobby elevator up to the third floor and exit toward the back to go through the hotel parking lot, and you won't have to climb the hill to be level with the Allen or Thomas Theatres!)

I know that Lark's has its fan base. Over the years, I've tried, probably too hard, to be among those fans. Yet, in the end I find myself thinking there are just too many great options in Ashland that are a superior overall experience by comparison. My first criticism is that the menu can be quite limited. In our last dinner there, we had perhaps 8 options to choose from, three of which included pureed Squash as a prominent flavor element. I feel if you're going to have a sparse menu, you probably ought to consider varying your secondary elements, especially with sides that can be a tad polarizing. My second point would be that on value for the dollar, Lark's comes up a bit short. I think $27 for meatloaf, or $25 for fried chicken is pushing things a bit too far. Please note, that both of these dishes were very good and flavorful. The execution and quality were fine, but it feels like you can get the same for cheaper, or better for the same price elsewhere. The same goes for their cocktails...again, well executed but feels like pricing is at a premium. Service was solid. No complaints there. Ultimately, I think you get charged a hotel convenience pricing uplift for what is fundamentally very good, though perhaps not distinctive food. Ashland has a lot more to offer, in a town that punches above its weight for great restaurant options.

If you are searching for a REAL Spanish coffee, the bar here can actually make one. No where else in Ashland will you find a mixologist who can accommodate this order. The food is carefully prepared and the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and collard greens is outta this world delicious. After COVID things have changed a bit in regards to food tasting off but it's still better than any other restaurant in the valley. Most restaurants in Medford taste like cafeteria food.

Never had a bad meal here. Wonderful bar keep and excellent table service. The menu needs some more variety but the daily specials make up for that. One of our favorite restaurants.

We celebrated an 80th birthday on June 23, 2023. The service was incredible. From the host to our server to the kitchen staff, the experience was flawless. Because our party size was 20 people they asked us to call and pre-order our meals which we did. Upon arrival we were seated and drinks ordered. Our appetizers followed by entrees were served with precision following our beverage orders but without feeling rushed. The food was delicious. We had theatre tickets and they were so attentive to making our dinner celebration fantastic while keeping an eye on the clock so we would make the theatre performance. Well done, Larks! We will return.

We were visiting in Ashland at the Ashland Springs Hotel. Of course we had to have dinner one night at Larks (next door) and we invited our friends who had never been to Ashland before. Larks is one of the top restaurants and it did not disappoint on this occasion. We all enjoyed our entrées, wine and dessert and they asked us when we were seated if we were attending a play. They made sure we had plenty of time to get there but since it's only a five minute walk from the restaurant, we still had time for a leisurely dinner. I had made reservations a couple of days before for 5:30 and I would suggest making reservations if you are attending a play. It was also nice being seated next to the window so we could enjoy watching people on the sidewalk. Delicious meal and wonderful service. Great place to take friends. Thanks!

I am excited to give this place a five star! I really believe, if you have family or friends visiting, Larks is a must for dinner plans. You will experience great service, food, atmosphere....what else would one need lol. Located right in the middle of Downtown Ashland, just foot steps away from everything, providing the perfect after dinner walk. I will absolutely be back soon!

Finneas is one of the best servers and he makes excellent wine recommendations! The food, drink and ambiance are all top-tier and it's the perfect place to go for a special occasion.

This restaurant is located inside Ashland Spring Hotel. It has an outdoor seating and garden area, which is great for pets. The food was amazing and the portions were huge! We ordered the artisan cheese board with pickled cauliflower, house coarse mustard with black currant jam, and house charcuterie (duck and sausage). For entrees, we got house brined & grilled carlton farms port porterhouse and southern fried chicken breast. We also ordered bread on the side which was amazing with rosemary and served warm that butter melts right on top. The fried chicken was perfect with crispy outer breading and the meat was so juicy. The pork porterhouse was gigantic and it was so tender; each bite was filled with flavor. If you're staying in the area, highly recommend to try!

Love the 1920's feel of this restaurant. The staff was very friendly. Ordered a side Caesar salad which was very fresh. Had the fried chicken. Very good. Of your looking for a fancy dinner this is your place.

First and foremost I have to give an immense shoutout to Molly who was an absolute rockstar handling multiple reservation seatings coming in at once. Not only that she answered all my questions about the menu and even offered suggestions for some of the specials. I got the order to go and I figured the food wouldn't travel well but after a quick 10 min drive back to the hotel I was blown away by the food. We got the King Salmon specials and a couple of desserts all of which exceeded both our expectations. The broccolini was excellent. Absolutely incredible experience. Food was well beyond what I was expecting. Will come back to your next visit to Ashland!

Food was mediocre and took an hour to come out, Not to mention that they only serve liver burgers and no normal burgers. Pretty pricy for the bad service. Save your money and go to Flip, Brickroom, Louie's, or anywhere else.

I love this restaurant. We went last night and it was FULL. The next table would be at least half an hour's wait, so we ate at the bar, which was wonderful. Our server was knowledgeable and extremely pleasant. Mike, however, was a delight; he is a very experienced and friendly person we were glad to speak with. Additionally, the table of six women behind us met for dinner and a play once a year. One of them was particularly friendly and just kind. Our server had to tell me that the dinner plate I was hoping to eat was already sold out and Lark's had no more. So, if you're heading out to eat during The Shakespear Festival, arrive early, make reservations, and hope to speak with Mike at the bar. ALL the food here is fresh and delicious. Kindness improves the flavor.

One of the only good "finer" dining spots in town; consistency of food, service, and ambiance for years. Best g&t in town, but desserts could use new life.

Excellent dining experience this evening at Larks! Food was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. However, the standout was the service -- our server Stephanie was attentive without being intrusive and very knowledgeable regarding the menu as well as the wine list. Instead of just taking a photo of our party at the table, Stephanie suggested we pose in front of the massive fireplace in the adjoining hotel lobby and sent Clay (assuming he is in a management role) over to help. Taking just a few extra moments to take our photos and connect with us about some hometown baseball was just the cherry on top to a perfect evening! Thank you Clay and Stephanie!

This lovely restaurant is located inside a historic hotel on the Main Street in Ashland, Oregon. It has a bright upscale looking interior. People dressed from collared shirts with slacks to shorts and t shirts. Let me start by saying the service was fantastic. They are both accommodating and not over servicing at the same time. The food was amazing. We were so full I didn't get to try the great looking desserts. We did have the meatloaf, southern fried chicken, 3 different kinds of salads, and their yummy bread (gluten free and regular). I'd highly recommend the fried chicken which was cooked perfectly and served with mashed potato and collard greens. We also had a berry martini which was made perfectly!

Perfect meal on a cold night! After shopping and sightseeing during our first afternoon in Ashland's charming downtown, we were drawn in by the inviting views of the classic dining room as we walked by the Ashland Springs Hotel. Though we had no reservations on a Thursday night, we were quickly seated as requested a little spaced from other tables (which were all well spaced in light of Covid). The menu is full of comfort food choices, but we chose the nightly specials of duck confit with root vegetables and a sweet potato purée, and a king salmon with crispy skin on a bed of truffled finger potatoes and caramelized Brussels sprouts. Both were served piping hot -- the efficient runners clearly did their job from oven to table -- and supremely satisfying with just the right healthy portion to leave us satiated. We also had a nice organic greens salad with butternut squash, almonds, chèvre and cranberries. Our waiter Jordan was solicitous and friendly from the moment he put down a warm basket of bread and butter to the check. Overall, we were so delighted by the experience that we sought to book a room in the adjoining Ashland Springs Hotel for when we would be passing through after Thanksgiving, but alas it was sold out. Another visit to the Lark Restaurant then, however, remains in the cards!

We spent Thanksgiving here for brunch. Super nice people! We had to get on the waiting list and we're able to get a spot at 1230pm. We were greeted by a friendly hostess and sat in the garden. It was chilly outside but it was covered and they had patio heaters. The food inside was delish! They had bacon wrapped dates, a crostini with goat cheese, shrimp cocktail and some salads. Everything was tasty! Then they had the traditional Thanksgiving meal of turkey, 2 kinds of potatoes, gravy, stuffing, salmon, pork and soup. We didn't try the soup but had everything else! We were too full to try the dessert but I did have an apple spiced marg and it was delish! The food was wonderful, service was great and the ambience was nice. We would love to try this place out, inside of the hotel, for their normal dinner. They're only open for dinner. We will def be back!

Cute vintage high end restaurant. It's connected to the Ashland springs hotel. Just all in all a nice area to be in. I believe they change up their menus but I had the pork chop with corn grits and I wished I had more of the corn grits! That was the best thing we all had. Good cocktails as well!

The fried chicken dish with mashed potato gravy and collards was really, really good. Nice, relaxed atmosphere and staff.

food was pretty good but i am vegetarian and i wish there were a few more options for me. i got the risotto and it was very underwhelming. our server was very nice but the food took a while to come out. the tempura asparagus was delicious and the lemonade was amazing. i was over all pleased but not blown away

The good: Service is subperb (ask for Felicia she is totally on top of it) Great recommendation going for that Chibata bread we went for seconds!! It's relatively new post virus opening so things may not be able to full speed yet but ...steak was tough, cucumber salad was way too sour and not cold enough Soup just a bit too spicy too much pepper maybe and the fried chicken has way too much gravy and mashed potatoes (felt like I was in the deep South.) OK other than that how was the play Mrs. Lincoln? Atmosphere is the best in town Perfect ambience and lovely music not too strong and just the right mood set. Really sweet environment for a sit down romantic dinner don't miss the restaurant lobby it's a piece of history and must see on any visit to Ashland... We didn't hang around for dessert but did I mention how good the bread was? Ha!

After hearing such amazing things about Larks and seeing it crowded every night I thought it would be a safe suggestion to bring my visiting family. Although it was actually sort of a let down. They were out of menu items at 7 o'clock. The service was odd. The waiter was kind but too casual and inexperienced for the upscale environment. He was forgetful and disorganized. The food was just ok and the espresso machine was broken. Won't be returning.

Pretty restaurant attached to the Ashland Springs Hotel. Wait staff was great, food was plentiful and really good. We split a ceasar salad, the southern fried chicken and spring veggie cassoulet. It was all wonderful, portions were huge and we couldn't finish either entree. If you're looking for a nice meal in Ashland, give it a go.

Last night I had the pleasure of eating the food from Larks. What a treat. We had the Southern Fried Chicken Breast and the Winter Squash Vegetable Korma entrees. Both were very high quality and delicious. But the dessert!!! The Warm Butter Cake with Strawberry Rhubarb Compote was truly the best dessert I have ever had. Don't miss out on a meal from this amazing chef.

On our way to WA for Thanksgiving we stoped at the Ashland Springs Hotel to rest for the night. We decided to eat dinner at the Larks Home Kitchen Cuisine. We must say that this dinner was such an excellent choice for us. We had a short wait at the bar before our table was ready and enjoyed our time with Mike, a bartender. He provided us with delightful information about our drinks and fun facts about Larks. He even stopped by our table to wish us a good night. Our table service was provided by Stephanie. She is an excellent person who is exceptional at her profession. We were given time to study the menu and when ready to order she reappeared. Our dinner started with some of the most delicious Brussels Sprouts we have had in any restaurant. (We are from the Santa Cruz, CA area were sprouts are grown, so we really know sprouts) This was followed by an excellent salad filled with fresh ingredients an a delightful dressing. It complemented both our sprouts and our main dinner selections yet to arrive. Here I must point out how important Stephanie's roll was to our enjoyment. Her timing was regulated by our desire for the next course. We were never rushed and all of our plates arrived at the correct temperature. Her timing with the kitchen and our needs were perfectly balanced. We enjoyed our main dish as well and returned to the hotel for a great night of rest with our tummies full and our minds excited over the service and quality of our dinner.

This was my first time at Larks. We were greeted and seated right away at a very nice table elevated so as to have a good view of the bar and charming dining room. It felt warm and inviting. The service was exceptional. The cocktails on offer and wine list had something for everyone, and our wine came with a generous pour. The steamed clams appetizer could have been an entree, and the clams and drizzle of sauce were fresh and delicious. The fried chicken entree was crispy on the outside and tender. Very savory. We chose the three flavors of sorbet for dessert, and it was delicious. I will return often as the menu offers so many delicious options.

Fabulous dinner this evening. The brined pork chop was off the charts! My husband had the paparelle and it was divine. The ambiance, the service, the food and the cocktails were truly delish. So happy this restaurant is still standing after all we have been through. Keep up the great work and keep that delicious food coming! Cheers!

Larks was amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better casual date night with delicious food. After a quick stroll through the hotel lobby to admire the artwork, we were seated right away - without a reservation. However, I would anticipate the need for a reservation if it wasn't a regular ol' weeknight. We ordered the steak and the fried chicken and both were so good we cleaned our plates! Our service was proper, as you would expect. It's obvious from eavesdropping on surrounding conversations that this is a place attended by locals. I highly recommend Larks for any occasion!

Our family celebrated two special birthdays on a Saturday evening at Larks. For most of us it was our first nice indoor post covid dining event. We had two tables, one for just the four kids and then a 6 top for adults. We enjoyed a leisurely meal with drinks and starters and it was just perfectly lovely. Jordan was really the best with the kids table and so attentive to both tables needs, joking that he didn't want to over serve their table which was great. He was very engaging and it made the meal even more special since this was our "first time out" experience (my aunt likened the last year to Lord Of the Rings and Larks was like our visit to the fairies land of happiness and normal again) The cheese board and fritter starters were really savory good. The previous review comparing the cheese board and charcuterie board to Costco is not accurate at all. The main course (most of us had the market fish specials- three varieties) was really great. My dish of king salmon was really good, large portions, great presentation, such great service. The lobby of the hotel was really neat and was nice to spend time in before and after. Will definitely go again next time we visit family down in the southern part of the state!

Lovely room. Well separated in this time of COVID. Impeccable service. Menu is surprisingly limited and pedestrian. Common offers from Spinach salad to hamburger with pile of soso fries. and little flavored bean and meatloaf soup. We saw a deep glass of chocolate cake and ice-cream dessert go by. Wish I had tried the dessert to produce some flavor.
