I really liked all the plants throughout the space too, they gave it a cool, relaxed vibe. The focaccia was great, and we enjoyed the main dishes as well. There was a good variety, so everyone had something different to try. Dessert wasn't my personal favorite, but I really appreciated that they were willing to get creative and try something I'd never seen before: corn ice cream. Definitely an interesting way to end the meal!

My heart aches for the guests of the Residence Inn that sits underneath one of Philadelphia's truly…read moregreat restaurants. 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.

The food is always ready pretty quickly, and the staff has been friendly consistently. I also like that the menu seems to change things up from time to time, so there's usually something new to try. I haven't eaten inside yet, but it's definitely on my list!

A good contender for the area. Not crazy big (a good thing for me!) and naked sauce on the side. Buff sauce is good too! Neighborhood bar for real gives you a tavern feel. Fast prompt polite service. I'll keep trying other spots but for now they hold the crown for wings uptown. We also ordered roasted turkey sandwich that was delicious!!

After getting my inserts from the Good Feet Store and finally being able to walk without being in…read moreexcruciating pain, I decided to celebrate by having dinner at this location in Manayunk. First, let's talk parking. Parking in Manayunk is always a challenge, especially during the summer months. There are paid parking lots further down that I would highly recommend using because street parking can be difficult to find. We made a reservation ahead of time, and I definitely recommend doing that through OpenTable. When we arrived, it was a little warm inside, and I immediately noticed it. Thankfully, I always carry a fan with me, so it wasn't a big issue. Now let's get to the real reason for this review Ali!!!! When I tell you Ali was amazing, I mean AMAZING. Her personality, energy, attitude, and spirit made our entire dining experience. She was funny, knowledgeable, attentive, accommodating, and had excellent recommendations. Great service can turn a good meal into a great experience, and that's exactly what she did. We started with the cheesesteak rolls, which were served with a spicy ketchup. They were good and had great flavor. Next was the calamari, which was absolutely delicious. It came with fried jalapeños, and when you paired a piece of calamari with a jalapeño and dipped it in the sauce, it was perfection!!! We also ordered the mussels, and if you're a garlic lover, these are a must order. They were loaded with garlic and butter sauce served with crusty bread perfect for soaking up the broth. I did take away and they dumped my bread into the sauce so it was soggy. Suggesting, give fresh bread on takeaways wrapped separate. Best of all, almost every shell actually had a mussel in it which unfortunately isn't always the case at some restaurants. They were fresh, flavorful, and one of my favorite dishes of the night. Since it was Taco Tuesday, we couldn't pass up the special: three tacos and a margarita for $18. You do have to choose one protein for all three tacos; you can't mix and match. I chose shrimp, and my son chose chicken. The shrimp tacos were absolutely delicious. There wasn't a lot on them, but the flavor was incredible. You could taste the fresh corn tortilla, and the shrimp were juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. My son enjoyed the chicken tacos, although I personally thought the chicken was a little dry. One thing I absolutely loved was learning that the food is fresh and locally sourced. Ali explained that they don't use microwaves, and you can definitely taste the difference. For drinks, I ordered a strawberry pineapple margarita. There was a small mix-up with the strawberry, but Ali immediately fixed it and brought me strawberry syrup to make it right. Problem solved! The margaritas were delicious and STRONG, which is exactly what I like. Overall, my favorite items were the shrimp tacos, the mussels, and the margaritas. The food was great, the atmosphere was fun, and the service was outstanding!!! We enjoyed ourselves so much that we're already planning to come back for brunch and try the mimosa tower. If you visit, ask for Ali. You won't regret it!! She made an already great meal even better. We'll definitely be back!

Service was good for the most part and the food was ok. The main reason for the low rating is because as we were eating a mouse runs out from the kitchen and we brought it to the attention of the staff who took about 10 minutes to catch the mouse. Now no one from the staff apologized for the rodent issue so I'm assuming that this is a common occurrence. None of the staff seemed bothered by the situation to let their manager know and no one offered us a discount due to that scene that just transpired in front of us. So my sister and her family who live here in Philly as well as my wife and I will not be eating here again.

I had the poke bowl ($27) and wifey had the grilled chicken salad. Very little lettuce and a good amount of chicken. This is tandoori style with good flavor. The poke bowl I asked no onions, even the 'not even crunchy onions?' Question I said NO. My poke : 'no onion' was 2:1. Geesh! Brown avocados. Brown avocados on this $27 bowl that was to have a 'mixed' base of rice and mixed greens. More rice and drenched in dressing (and onions!!!). Small amount of poke. The website is antiquated or at least not mobile friendly. Call in your order and again, clutch your pearls. The tabouli salad was great and so was the cucumber lemonade. Cute small place with outside patio. They host music nights with no cover. I'd go back for the lemonade because I was not impressed with the amount of poke for the cost. I could hit up a sushi place instead!

Staff here were helpful, but throughout our meal frankly felt a bit chaotic. We weren't seen the first time for a while, and had someone come to us to tell us that someone would serve us soon, and then throughout the wait staff assigned to us was pretty frenzied and apologized several times. Appreciate the candor, but not a very put together experience from the staff here, even though it seems like the amount of traffic here was not close to packed. Food though was delicious. Would have liked a bit more given the price tag, but enjoyable for the dishes. I guess you pay for the scenery here. Overall, would not be high up on the list for places I'd really go out of my way to go to. A good experience if you make it out here! Hopefully the wait staff can get some more composure and experience though.
