First night in Chicago for a birthday trip! This place is absolutely amazing! Our server took amazing care of us and we just happened to stumble across unlimited spaghetti night which was such a treat. I highly recommend this place! It's affordable and so tasty.

I recently visited Lark Restaurant after a glowing recommendation from one of my coworkers, who couldn’t stop raving about their outstanding pizza. I’m happy to report that it absolutely lived up to the hype! From the moment I arrived, I could tell this place was something special. The patio area was colorful, clean, and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The atmosphere struck a great balance between casual and charming. Our server was friendly, attentive, and had a great sense of humor, which added a lot to the overall experience. It’s always a plus when the staff genuinely seems to enjoy their work. Now to the main event – the food. The pizza was truly one of a kind, with rich flavors and a perfectly crispy crust that could only come from a brick oven. It was fresh, flavorful, and easily some of the best I’ve had in a long time. I also tried one of their burgers, which was equally impressive – juicy, well-seasoned, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Whether you’re a pizza enthusiast or just looking for a great meal in a welcoming setting, Lark Restaurant is definitely worth a visit. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for top-notch comfort food with a creative twist.

Lark was such an amazing experience. Loved the Halloween decor. The patio was gorgeous and covered. I don't know if I've had a better brunch experience. 29 for bottomless brunch drinks. They let us take our time. We ate and drank for about 2 hours. I had the breakfast sandwich which was delicious and substantial. The cheesy hash browns were the quiet hero of the meal. Must be made with witchcraft. I could've eaten them all day. Sam was an amazing server. Made sure our drinks were full, very personable, witty, fun to talk to. Would absolutely go back next time I'm in Chicago

On a recent business trip to Chicago, a coworker/friend mentioned that she has never been to Boystown. So we decided we will spend the Saturday night bar hopping. We came to Lark Restaurant for food, but ended up staying for the Karaoke night. What a fun and lively night. The ambiance is lively, fun and welcoming. The food is exceptionally delicious. The drinks are impressive and potent. The service is attentive. Amazing and memorable night.

I enjoy going to Lark for Vivian Du Jour's Extreme Bingo. The food is always consistent and good. Service overall is good. Vivian Du Jour has a sparkling personality and is a delightful bingo host! Her performances are high energy and engaging. In the past, I've ordered the Arancini appetizer. I describe them as fried risotto balls served with marinara sauce. Scrumptious shell texture with velvety center and a nice cheese pull. Their Beyond Burger is stacked tall with all extras, including lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle. The burger is complemented with a generous serving of fries, but I prefer to have their Tater Tots. They have Nachos, but they also have Totchos, with Tots replacing chips. My favorite item is the Lark Lemon Pizza, made with shredded mozzarella, fresh mozzarella, pine nuts, goat cheese, and fresh basil, served with a grilled lemon. I ordered a Brownie Sundae, which is sized for sharing. I would love if they offered smaller dessert portions. I enjoy their wide array of Duck Mules, which are all garnished with a whimsical rubber duck!

My fiance and I went here to celebrate our anniversary and we both enjoyed our time here. The ambient lighting and the music were perfect. Our server was very kind and helpful and the food and drinks were great! My fiance was elated to see that they had THC beverages! I was elated to see the size of the chicken wings! Highly recommend the chicken wings! I’ve been thinking of them ever since! Their cocktails are great. I love their duck mules and especially love that I get to keep the duck! This place is great and we can’t wait to go back perhaps for bingo!

Stopped by for a drink solo. Great selection of cocktails, great happy hour deals. I recommend the cocktail with Chai, it was probably one of the best chai cocktails I have ever had. I also go the Brownie Sundae to go, and 100% will be back for food.
