On another day I would have browsed the shops near the restaurant. I am surprised by the low reviews. We stopped here around 12:50 pm, had to wait 15-20 minutes for a table. I had a French 75, waffle with strawberries and bacon on the side. My husband had the fish and chips. We both enjoyed our food and would make a return visit. It's much larger than it appears. There is seating on the main floor, an upper area, the lower back of the restaurant has additional tables and there is a back patio area. It appears that they time the seating to coincide with server capacity.

I saw from my last Yelp review that I had thrilled to the Apple Cranberry Salad, so I ordered it…read moreagain. (Whose Yelp reviews can I trust, if not my own? It really is a lovely salad, from the crispiness of the apple slices to freshness of the greens to the delicious teeth-grabbing gumminess of the rich and flavorful cranberries in contrast. Just a beautiful thing. I also decided to brave some beets! Why, one would ask, when why anyone likes beets is beyond my imagination? To me, they taste like dirt. I had a friend who used to make a mixed green salad that incorporated beets along with blue cheese. I first tried it "to be polite" and, to my surprise, I liked it quite a lot. So when I saw Beet and Goat Cheese Flat Bread on the Skylark's menu, I decided to brave it because I love goat cheese and I love a good flatbread. It was wonderful! No beety flavor, just creamy deliciousness where the goaty cheese nicely blended. Nice little dish to share too--and my companions loved it. Lavender Fields is a lovely mocktail (and a bargain at $5!)--you never see single digits on menus anymore--I had to ask if it was a mistake. No. Quite elegant and refreshing. The wonderful, attentive and charming Mischa was our server and bartender to boot. She made perfect choices for me when asked, bringing me a lovely wine to pair. (And she makes a lovely Old Fashioned.) Also wonderful to us was Brad. We had some special needs which he graciously accommodated. And the place is so lovely to sit in--just beautiful. And the music was incredible also.

I happened to go on the bakeries birthday (Happy Birthday,) and most of the requested items were already sold out. The wonderful associate at the window took my list and found closely associated items that my customers absolutely loved (thank you!) Customer service, atmosphere, and baked items were all absolutely amazing! I will definitely return, and highly recommend.

Honestly, everything was fine but not spectacular. The danish had an egg wash on it, which is normal, but it was so thick the entire danish tasted of egg, which, for me, made it hard to eat. As with most things, opinion is personal, but I am honestly surprised by how many people love this place. Everything I had was mediocre, at best. I am glad I went and gave it a try, but I won't be back. I feel like it is overhyped based on their weekend only hours of operation.

I found that some local Sprouts stores were carrying it. I really like it. Like anything, when checking out something for the first time, stay as basic as possible. I tried the Vanilla Bean. All of their flavors display "Full Strength" in front of the flavor name. This is to drive home the point of their concept... no air in the ice cream. Hence, this is very dense ice cream! Of course, they also use excellent ingredients to make this great stuff. I am a fan. It is very concentrated in flavor. It also has a nice mouth feel, very smooth. Loved the Vanilla Bean. Just picked up some Full Strength Raspberry Chip. It's ok, but I prefer the Vanilla Bean. The raspberry is a little on the sweet side.... but still the same silky mouth feel. I am on the lookout for the Vanilla Chocolate Chip, which should be great. Looking forward to more Vanilla Bean and trying some other flavors. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

We were walking to dinner and they said we should try the shop out. Carpe diem and obviously it was a sign that we needed go ans get dessert before dinner. Plus, we were gonna share the ice cream so not as bad right? I tried a sample of the mixed berry and coffee flavors and fell in love. The ice cream was so creamy. It was perfect that they do half scoops so I got both flavors. I mean, we didn't wanna ruin dinner. It was perfect! I wish we had this shop in the Bay! It's sooooo good! Gotta come back and visit!
