I’ve had the pleasure of eating here twice, once in 2023 and again last week in Feb ’26. This restaurant has it’s own elevator, and can be difficult trying to find. The best way to get there is to go in the lobby of the hotel and follow the signs.

My experience has only been Happy Hour/Dinner so when we stepped off the elevator the lights were dim. The atmosphere was exciting yet loud. Slightly too loud for my comfort, I did find it difficult to hear the people I came with.

Both times I visited we had a large party of 10 or more and they restaurant was accommodating for each visit.

The menu is limited, and somewhat difficult to understand. It’s a very elegant menu but you can easily google anything you are unsure of.

My second visit we did a family style dinner so we got to sample each item which was really nifty. So many of the dishes were absolutely delicious. The desert was phenomenal.

Service was fantastic, we had several waiters with us and they made sure we were taken care of periodically, very friendly.

While the menu is limited, I would definitely return now that I’ve experienced some of them and have an idea on flavors. However I don’t see this as a place I’ll frequent as it is pricey. This place would be a celebratory lunch or dinner for me.

Overall my experience at Lark was great. They took our jackets at the hostess stand and led us to our seating really quickly. I loved that.

As for the food itself, my party didn’t get a lot of sides, and for the meal, I personally got the Candellini Guardaporia, it was amazing, definitely how I like pasta. I did wish mine was a bit hotter, but I recognize I do like my food hotter than most. A few members of my party got the weekly steak prep (which was a New York strip) and it was honestly pretty good, although I don’t eat steak enough to speak for the masses. I loved the wait staff.

For anyone looking to go here, only things to consider would be the size of food and wait time. The food size was modest (which we were told ahead of time so I had no issue) and the wait time was on the longer end (it probably took us 35 minutes to get served. I think this experience would be perfect for a date or a catch up with friends, because of the vibe, the time to sit and talk, and the portion sizes, it’s a place for conversation.

One of the TOP 5 food experiences of my life. Everything is top notch from staff to food. A True culinary experience with amazing service and exceptional taste. Ambience is spectacular with stunning views and decor. Kudos to our server Tom who clearly is experienced in the industry-you were top notch- your recommendations and explanations were spot on. A memorable anniversary meal- THANK YOU! We will return.

LaLa was our server and she was absolutely incredible. She was so pleasant to be around and made incredible recommendations. The service was top notch. My water didn’t fall below the half way below, table wiped down between courses, plates and utensils swapped out. Excellent excellent. The food was delicious and the views were amazing.

Absolutely loved everything about Lark! From the moment you step off the elevator, you’re greeted with a breathtaking rooftop view that sets the tone for the entire experience. The ambiance is simply incredible—a perfect blend of rustic charm, modern aesthetics, and industrial design, complete with high ceilings that give the space an airy, open feel. It’s the kind of setting that makes you want to linger just a little longer.
The service was impeccable—attentive without being overbearing, and the staff clearly care about creating a memorable dining experience. As for the food, it’s nothing short of exceptional. Every dish we tried was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. From the appetizers to the mains, everything was A++.
What truly surprised us, though, was the pricing. For such a stunning venue and top-notch food, the value is outstanding. Lark delivers the kind of experience you’d expect from a high-end restaurant, but at a price point that feels incredibly fair. Whether you’re looking for a special night out or a new favorite spot to impress out-of-town guests, Lark absolutely delivers on every level.
Extra credit for the Lark birthday card and the house vase offered to keep the birthday flowers in.

Wow. Just found this gem nestled in sycamore tree high top the Schulykill at a former industrial landing. in Bala Cynwyd, just over the Philly border. A more scenic venue in this metro is difficult to conceives. What’s more, the food is uniformly excellent and as homemade as it gets. The service is efficient and pleasant.

I stopped into Lark on Wednesday night and sat solo at the bar. The space itself is lovely, though a little on the cold side for bar seating. I was acknowledged right away, but it took a few minutes before a bartender took my order. After that, I felt somewhat overlookedsince I only ordered water and a Diet Coke, it seemed like my presence at the bar wasn’t valued as much as other guests.

The barback, who was friendly, eventually took my order, but there wasn’t much follow-up until I was nearly finished with my entree. In contrast, the woman next to me, who ordered a steak and a glass of wine, received attentive, timely service and was even asked about dessert before I had my check.

Food-wise, the beef tartare was excellent, and the pasta was clearly fresh and made with care, though the orchietti was extremely salty. As for drinks, the Diet Coke was flat likely because it came from an already opened mini bottle. I almost sent it back, but with no one checking in, I just switched to water, which was only refilled once until I asked again at the end.

Overall, I think Lark has a lot of potential. The ingredients and preparation show thoughtfulness, especially for a midsized hotel restaurant, but the service felt off. No hello and no goodbye. My experience left me feeling like a second tier guest simply because I wasn’t drinking alcohol. Should have I sat solo in the dining room? All in all, I’d give it 2.5 stars.

Lark is such a gem and always our go to restaurant for a celebration, happy hour on the terrace, or a seat at the bar. Every dish is special, at our most recent meal we enjoyed the mezze rigatoni with crab, corn and saffron – it was SENSATIONAL. If there is a crab pasta on a menu, I’m ordering it — and this is the best I’ve ever had, no contest. The service and staff is always delightful. Hai was our server on the terrace recently and made our experience so fun with his witty banter, on top of super attentive service and helpful explanations of any menu questions we had.

Very nice place. Lilly and all the wait staff were outstanding. My dish was excellent, but I felt on the small side. A corn and mushroom sauce over a homemade cheese ravioli which everyone seemed to agree was the best. The hailbut was good as was the squid ink pasta. Those who had drinks said they were good. The deserts were also good. The atmosphere was spacious and comfortable though the music was a bit loud for my taste. Next time we come I would like to try dining on the balcony which has a lovely view.
