The décor is colorful, stylish, and inviting, while still feeling relaxed enough for just about any occasion. The food is reasonably good, with French-inspired dishes like Steak Frites, which fits the whole Parisian brasserie vibe perfectly. I've come here for a date, met up with friends, and even had a work meeting here...it works surprisingly well for all three. The staff is always friendly and the bar tenders are easy to talk to and know their stuff about drinks. Being right near the Penn and Drexel campus environment gives the restaurant a nice energy without taking away from the upscale feel. Definitely a good option if you're looking for beautiful surroundings, a European-inspired experience, and a versatile place to eat and connect.

While these transient wretches microwave their Sad Cuisine in their Marriot holding cells, Lark's seventh floor aerie curates a dining experience well worth the exorbitant price tag. The service here is outrageously on-point while the appetizer, pasta and main courses are both inventive and delicious. I love duck and their duck in a currant infused sauce was the best I've ever had... anywhere. Given the tiny portions there's no risk of leaving here "stuffed" but you will leave amazed and satisfied that you have experienced something truly special. As a bonafide hater of foodie hype in any form, I have no choice but to give Lark a resounding five stars. PS... Bala Cynwyd, PA must have more cemeteries (including a sprawling Pet cemetery) per capita than any place on the planet. More poor souls that will never experience Lark.

So I've been meaning to try this place for a long time. Well luckily we got our chance today. Met…read morewith a Swedish paper mill today and wanted to take them to a nice lunch spot. We chose this because the menu had a nice mix of southern and American favorites that they weren't accustomed to. You should've seen two northern boys trying to describe grits to a Swede. Our waitress was awesome. She was great at explaining things and talking about each dish. Of course there were questions. Some things probably got lost in translation but everyone was happy with their choices. I also feel like servers are always put in an awkward position when you ask them to help you choose. Food is like art. It's so subjective. So for starters we got the fried greet tomatoes and the Burrata. Burrata was not ideal for sharing with people you do not know. It was one large piece of toast. So she actually took it back and someone cut it into 4 sections for us. The fried green tomatoes were awesome. It had a nice tangy sauce with sweeter pickles that came along side. My colleague got the open faced chicken sandwich which was an enormous amount of food. It was two fat chicken pieces on two thick slices of toast. I got the salmon sticky rice bowl with a side of the charred broccoli. Both were so delicious. The salmon had some broccoli in it too. So I really over did it. The charred broccoli side had crusted Parmesan in it and a creamy sauce. Both dishes were just knock outs. Almost forgot I got the love latte too. That was really good. I got it with oat milk. So I highly recommend this place. Great for a business lunch too. Easy to hear one another. Music wasn't too loud. Oh they were very gracious with us. We were 15 minutes late because I wouldn't stop talking in the pre lunch meeting. Yeah I'm that guy. Figures I'd be on Yelp.

This was probably the best breakfast/brunch I've had in a very long time. The service was immaculate. They do not do reservations but if you go early enough, you can get a seat. My wife and I shared the full stack pancakes, and I had the breakfast burrito while she had the chicken waffles (plenty of leftovers). The star of the show were the pancakes. Now I've had a ton of pancakes in my day and make pancakes every single weekend but these were the best pancakes that I've ever had (on the record). I will be going back to this location every time I come back to Pennsylvania.

FANTASTIC place. Totally recommend and would absolutely go back…read more Easy to make a reservation over the phone and our party of 5 was welcomed and brought to our table upstairs. The upstairs area has a chill vibe with some Mario-themed art as well as a TV. It seems that the kitchen is upstairs, so a lot of waiters were flying by out table to the staircase. Our waiter was pretty chill. Apparently an O's fan, he was excited to learn we're from Baltimore. Food was all fantastic. The style of fries isn't my preference, but they were decent. Other than that, I was blown away. Child #1 and Child #2 got some items from the Kids' menu - grilled cheese and cheeseburger. Bread and Butter appetizer. Is it expensive for just being bread and butter? Yes. Is it worth it? Also yes. The homemade bread is great, but combine it with honey butter with flaky salt, and it's incredible. Loads of reviews on Yelp talked about the sausage roll. GET IT. It's greasy and filling in all the right ways. Goes great with a beer. My wife got the burger and she found it to be very tasty. I got the Grilled Maitake Mushrooms dish and holy cow; it's perfect. Even if you're not a vegetarian (I'm not), you can appreciate this dish: crispy rice cake (not the dry kind from the store), tender baby bok choy, and of course the well-cooked mushrooms are tied together with black vinegar, garlic-whipped tofu (!), and a peanut sauce. A++ would absolutely get again. The food menu has some staples, but overall it does change nightly, so make sure you check it out before you come. Apparently, on Sundays, they do a different experimental flavor of wings. I was curious, but my stomach has only so much room, so I had to draw the line. There is a respectable drink menu. My wife got the blood orange mezcalita, which she liked, but thought the smoke flavor was more subtle than described. I got the Plum Fizz and would totally get it again. Pleasantly-sour with a nice fizz. It's a nice pub in a nice neighborhood of a major city - be prepared for prices to match. But it is absolutely worth it.

When we happened to park in front of it while looking for a quick meal, I suggested we try something new. We are both happy we did! The restaurant was bright and chill, with a kind of urban-hipster vibe. The gentleman who assisted us was very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing -- so fresh and delicious! I got a Custom Dig Protein Bowl with Crispy Tofu, Herbed Rice, Cheesy Cauliflower, and Roasted Sweet Potatoes w/Hot Honey Sauce. My daughter got a kids' custom bowl with salmon, brown rice, and carrots, and couldn't stop raving about how good it was (especially the salmon). There are beverages available for purchase, as well as complimentary water, which we appreciated. The only reason I can't bring myself to give 5 stars is because our table was a little sticky and the silverware was not clean. It seemed clean enough otherwise, though; so I would probably give 4.5 stars if I could. I'd welcome the opportunity to dine here again, for sure!

Portions were a bit smaller than I was expecting, but nevertheless, it was still a filling and delicious lunch!

From the very beginning, Gina went above and beyond to ensure my daughter's bridal shower was absolutely perfect--and it truly was. She reached out to me several times on her own to check in, answer questions, and reassure me that no matter what the weather brought, she would make sure we were accommodated, whether indoors or outdoors. Gina even gave me her personal cell phone number and told me to call her anytime if I needed anything. Every time I reached out, she responded immediately with professionalism, kindness, and genuine enthusiasm. She made me feel like no request was too much trouble. On the day of the event, Gina exceeded every expectation. She personally provided directions for unloading and arranged for her staff to help carry in all of my decorations. Her positive attitude never wavered. She never responded with "no" or "I can't." Instead, she focused on finding solutions and making everything work. Nearly 40 guests attended the shower, and so many of them commented on how beautiful and perfectly organized everything was. I honestly could not have pulled it off without Gina's support, guidance, and willingness to help every step of the way. Lola's Garden is fortunate to have someone like Gina Picciano leading your team. She is an exceptional manager, a true professional, and a tremendous asset to your restaurant. Employees like Gina are the reason customers return and enthusiastically recommend your establishment to others. Please accept my sincere gratitude and recognize Gina for the remarkable job she did. She helped make a very special day for our family one we will always remember. Sincerely. Elizabeth D'Andrea
