Prime rib was a poor cut and quality. It was not edible. Cocktails were good Service was good and ambiance was nice. A little pricey for the food overall.

Our group of three had an enjoyable Christmas Eve brunch. It’s a great vibe with the high ceilings, but never seems to get uncomfortably loud. Food and cocktails were tasty, and thanks for bringing back the hush puppies!

We ordered half a dozen or so small plates for the table to share, and every single one of them was outstanding. The larger dish that we had - squid ink cacarecce - is a new menu item since the last time we dined at Lark, and was unbelievably delicious. Creme brulee cake was the winner for dessert. Our server was very attentive, paced the courses well, and made sure we were out in plenty of time to attend a performance we had tickets for. Chef John stopped by the table to chat for a few minutes as well. We really couldn't have asked for better food or service. Can't wait for our next visit to Lark.
