   Everything was good, not great. Service was professional, not necessarily friendly. The most personality I saw was from the girl who brought me 3 of my 4 courses. Every course had the right idea, it just wasn't executed to the level of great. The jalapeno on the hamachi was overbearing, but the idea of a *touch* of spice was correct. If you're going to put a fried shiso chip, salt it. The foie gras dish was amazing! Texture, taste, all there. The accompaniments were great. Elk chop itself was great, nice sear and very tender. The savory bread pudding with it was both salty and bland. I didn't like the texture. The elk was aggressively seasoned, but with the salty accompaniments it was too much. I left most of the veg. The raw strips of acorn squash were a nice break from the richness of the rest of the dish and a good idea. The creme brulee cake was good. I mean I find dessert often feels like an afterthought at many fine dining places. There was nothing wrong with it, but it didn't blow my mind. The cornbread crumble was nice texturely, but I always think of cornbread with BBQ so it was just a weird food memory colliding for me! I think if the service was more friendly, I'd come back to try it again. As a side note, my Uber asked me about it, and when I said the service was aloof, he said he comes for lunch there and gets the same vibe.

   The food was not good. The potato rosti was greasy, the fish overcooked and the Brussels sprouts flavorless. The service was mediocre at best. We were continually interrupted with questions about removing plates and the staff was uninformed about the menu. We have dined at Lark many times over the years and have always enjoyed it. This time was disappointing

   We left hungry, after coming here for years for special occasions we were excited for a nice dinner out to celebrate a special occasion. The food was lovely and we still love Lark but we were both disappointed leaving after three appetizers two mains and a dessert and still being both pretty hungry the portions were incredibly small for the mains probably won’t be coming back anytime soon. For the amount of money we spent for dinner we should’ve definitely left full!

   This is a sophisticated and elegant venue with attentive service, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and delightful presentations (our table had the tasting menu). We selected wines by the glass and were impressed by the selections. We’ll be back.

   Food is pretty good but priced way too high for the quality and portion sizes. Pet peeve: they take your drink order right away, and drinks arrived 15 minutes later. Barely before the food. A restaurant trying to be this upscale should have drinks on your table promptly.

   For starters we had their Hamachi and chanterelle mushroom soup.. and for main courses the black cod and the squab (which is basically a pigeon)… both didn’t disappoint. When it came time for dessert we settled on the crème brule cake and the hibiscus red wine poached pear… that’s when our tastes buds just exploded… wow wow wow… props to their chefs… definitely coming again.
