    This was my first time, dining here, and I have to say that it was truly a lovely experience from walking through the doors… so much ambience, and very elegant in its presentation. Not only did everything look lovely on the menu, but it tasted just as delicious as it sounded. The service was lovely and I would definitely consider coming back here again for a special occasion.

    We had a lovely lunch at Larkspur Grill and highly recommend you give them a try. We came at noon and were seated immediately. The ambiance is peaceful and relaxing and we had a nice table outside. We ordered the lobster roll and the Larkspur Grill Wrap. Both were delicious and served with fries or a side salad. The fries were the best we have had here in the desert and the sherry vinaigrette dressing on the side salad was very tasty and light. Since our main courses were so wonderful - we thought we would check out the dessert menu. It was a tough decision as all of them sounded heavenly. We shared a Chocolate Banana Cream Pie which was plenty for two and also a big hit! The mousse was light and flavorful and the presentation was beautiful. We will be back to try more on the menu! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.

    WOW! Didn’t disappoint! The double cut pork chop was amazingly tender and delicious. The short ribs were also extremely flavorful. Dodi, of course, is the ultimate hostess with a delightful staff. They all made us feel quite special on our anniversary!
