My oh, my, what an incredible experience! Lark is hands-down, one of the top restaurants in the city right now...they are hitting on all cylinders from food to service to atmosphere.Before even getting into their standard value, I need to share this story of how they celebrated my mother-in-law. In my reservation, I had notated that we were celebrating a birthday, and as soon as we walked in and mentioned our names, they confirmed that we were still celebrating, which was reassuring to know that it was top of mind. When we sat down, they brought a cute birthday card with all of the staff signatures on it and wishing her happy birthday. That was then followed by complimentary sparkling white wine, which was a great way to toast to the evening (& tasty). Then, of course, as we closed out the night with dessert, they added a candle to her plate. This whole experience just really made it apparent that they pay attention to the little details across-the-board.Now, with that aside, the first thing I'll comment on is the atmosphere. With it being located off of City Avenue and set back with the Marriott hotel, there's plenty of parking (so know that that is an alleviated headache no matter where you are coming from in the city). You step inside and take the elevator to the top floor, and are immediately welcomed by the host staff (optional coat check). If you are early for your reservation or you're waiting for the rest of your party, they have a really cool lounge area where you can order drinks and take in views of the surrounding neighborhoods through their huge windows. All throughout the restaurant, they really leverage tall ceilings with modern design and filled with green luscious plants. It just had an overall fresh feeling, and not to mention, they had a great complimentary music vibe .When it comes to the food, Nicholas Elmi obviously has his reputation, and this met all expectations that you could ask for. The dishes were creative, centered around a Mediterranean theme and heavy on the appetizers, which are meant to be ordered in more of a tapas format. The menu features a variety of seafood, homemade pastas, and a few signature entrées. I seriously could not even pinpoint what my favorite dish was because they were all so good! I would recommend anything from the list of what we ordered below:Focaccia, Olive Oil Butter, Marinated Olives, Preserved Tomato, Calabrian Peppers $11Gnocco Fritto, Ricotta, Prosciutto di Parma, Preserved Lemon $16Tuna Tartare, Olive Caramel, Caperberry-Tomato Vinaigrette, Cured Egg, Horseradish $17Burrata, Honeynut Squash, Sage Pesto, Hazelnut Agrodolce $17Spanish Octopus, 'Nduja, Red Onion, Crispy Sunchoke, Black Pepper Vinaigrette $19Squid Ink Chitarra, Mussels, Black Truffle, Preserved Tomato, Chili $21Halibut Au Poivre, Hen of the Woods, Baby Turnips, Chicken Jus, Harissa Black Lentils $38Pork Chop Milanese, Honeycrisp Apple, Fennel, Lemon Caper Aioli $41While there are a number of vegetarian options in the appetizer and pasta menu, the only area that I think could be potential room for improvement is offering a signature vegetarian entrée. Otherwise, the menu is seasonal and rotates, which keeps things fresh, and certainly will drive us back to come here all throughout the year.Now, truly, I feel like the category that really separates a five-star restaurant from other top tier restaurants is the service. I believe that Elmi holds his restaurants to a high standard, but we were really fortunate with our waiter. He was fun, engaging, directional, and not overbearing. He helped us navigate the menu, provided great recommendations of both portion size and what to eat, and really leant in when he knew that my mother-in-law was celebrating her birthday. He made the night that much more enjoyable! As we wrapped up dinner, we stepped outside onto their rooftop terrace and looked out over Manayunk, sitting by a warm fire and recapped what we enjoyed the most.This is a restaurant where I would say you shouldn't spend a second contemplating if you should go or not...GO!
