Diner Reviews
  • "Impeccable. First rate. Smallest details attended to. Service attentive, but not overbearing. Food surpasses if not all most of the best restaurants in the Valley and would easily compete with San Francisco favorites. We've been three times, and will be going again soon."

  • " Carson, our waiter, let us know about their gluten-free menu (I'm allergic to wheat) and made suggestions on dishes and drinks. The basil berry mojito was refreshing. The cucumber with pico de gallo soup was a lovely mixture of onion and cucumber. My fiancé loved the southern fried chicken but thought the over plentiful mashed potatoes was a big of a waste (does anyone ever finish them?). We'd return here any time we're in Medford."

  • "The food was well prepared and the food was as advertised: local and seasonal. Carson was our server and as an added bonus he was the sommelier/wine buyer for the restaurant and he chose a very good local white wine for us. While we were at the restaurant, we mentioned we were passing through Roseburg, OR the next day and asked Carson for winery visit recommendations. A few minutes later Carson brought us a map with his recommendations. Nice touch. Carson is a great resource for wine info and doesn't mind sharing what he knows. We very much enjoyed the Northwest style cuisine, Oregon wine and winery visit recommendations. When ever we are in Medford we will dine at Larks."

  • "We had three different dishes in our party of four - each one was marginal at best from bland to over salted. The waiter was very professional and polite and he ended up comp-ing us the two fish meals. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant and will not go back - the food was that bad."
    Dined on 7/2/2014
  • "Can't quite believe that more folks haven't discover Larks in Medford yet. The food is wonderful and the service is exceptional and the meals are very reasonably priced. We've been there 3 times, twice for brunch and once for lunch and have had fine meals each time with family, including a 5 year-old, and friends. We highly recommend it!"
    Dined on 6/15/2014
  • "Our dinner with friends was a pleasurable experience. The smoked beet salad was the best I have ever eaten. The pork belly mac and cheese to die for. Our friends enjoyed the Kolbe burger and were very pleased. This was our fourth visit to Larks and we have never been disappointed. "

    Dined on 4/20/2014
  • "Used the on-line reservation for 5 for lunch and it worked great and easy too. They had the table ready when we got there. The service was wonderful and the food was great. I recommend it highly for business lunches or casual friend lunches. The bar looks classy and will try that some time. Anxious to try the dinner menu next!"
    Dined on 4/17/2014
  • "Food was very good, but the Larks in Ashland is much better. The Medford Larks should add more items to the dinner menu"

  • "Lunch meeting with a business associate. Great atmosphere, great food, great service. Money well spent. "
    Dined on 4/15/2014
  • "Interesting, retro decor. The Brunch choices were varied and it was difficult to land on just one! Our waitress was very sweet and patient. All other staff were friendly and helpful. Our table of four all seemed to thoroughly enjoy their meals."
    Dined on 4/13/2014
  • "We had a lovely dinner at Larks at "The Commons". I had the cod special which was cooked perfect. The fish was very fresh. My husband had the meatloaf which was very moist. We had an appetizer, dessert and a couple glasses of wine. The meal was very reasonable and the portions generous. Can not wait to go back again."

  • "We celebrated my husband's birthday at Lark's in Medford this week Monday... happy hour prices were a nice surprise...my dinner was outstanding! My father-in-law said it was the best boulabaise (sp?) seafood he had ever had. I enjoyed the homey meatloaf dinner which was better than mom's! Great atmosphere- very good service. This is Medford's newest place to go for a great meal and cocktail lounge. Check it out!"

  • "The restaurant is very attractive, it's both quiet and relaxing. The wait-staff was was excellent. A nice place for a ladie's lunch."

  • "While we have dined multiple times at Larks in Ashland, this was our first time dining at the new Larks located in Medford on Riverside. The inside of the old Red Lion Hotel has been remodeled. The restaurant is hip and chic, with bold colors and tall, white Las Vegas style booths. The wait staff were all friendly and attentive. The food, known to be locally grown and raised, is delicious (but it is expensive, so taking the family out may strain the budget). The only problem is that not enough locals are aware of this gem! It's a large restaurant, and only a few tables were occupied when we visited. Come on, Medford, and support a wonderful new restaurant. We just don't have that many here that are this good."
    Dined on 3/18/2014
  • "We sat at a booth in the back and it was a perfect place for an important client lunch. Food was delicious....will be back!"
    Dined on 3/13/2014
  • "Food was excellent but the portions were the tiniest in the Rogue Valley, and also most expensive. Menu descriptions sound like there's a main dish (e.g., halibut) with interesting sides, but it was a tiny piece of halibut with a bit of sauce and topped with a few pinches of this and that. No rice, salad, potato, or anything other than a bread basket, for $29. Nice decor but only view was of Red Lion parking lot. For the price, I'll go to Amuse or the Paragon in Ashland, or Bambu in Medford (which is much nicer, less stingy with the servings, and more reasonably priced)."
    Dined on 3/10/2014
  • "I am so happy to have this restaurant here! We need it so very much. I have been in to have a drink several times and glad to see the service has improved greatly. My first time with food, I am a business person and took a client out for dinner. I am sorry to say I was very disappointed with my meal. I had a Caesar salad (just ok) and the special ... Fish that was so tough. The tiramisu was excellent though. I will go again as I so believe it will improve, or this was an off night."
    Dined on 3/7/2014
  • "Party of 5 on a Thursday night. We were seated promptly. Very friendly staff at all positions. Wine list had good variety. Local wines well represented but quite expensive. Wish the markup was not so high on our Southern Oregon wines - visitors might be more willing to try them if the price point was better. Our server Daniel was quite efficient although it seemed as if he had not sampled the menu. We brought a bottle of wine and were not charged a corkage since we ordered 2 bottles off the menu. Lots of variety at the table but duck was the star. The Brie polenta duck was served on was fantastic. Gnocchi was very good. Special salad with Miners lettuce was a real treat. We will be back. Thrilled Medford now has a nice restaurant downtown."
    Dined on 2/27/2014
  • "I TOOK MY WIFE TO LARK'S TO CELEBRATE HER BIRTHDAY. THE ENVIRONMENT WAS FANTASTIC. SERVICE WAS GOOD. MY WIFE'S SALAD WAS VERY GOOD. THE FISH I CHOSE WAS LACKING. OVERALL, IT WAS VERY NICE."
    Dined on 2/27/2014
  • "This is equal to the Larks in Ashland in terms of great wizardry in the kitchen and very attentive service. The decor is nice, but doesn't contribute to the experience. ( Nor take away from, either.) It must rank as one of the most expensive restaurants in Medford, but since the service, food and presentation is flawless that is not a criticism, just an observation. If you want to impress someone, this would be in my top 3 list."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "Lark's is a great addition to Medford's downtown with excellent interesting menu choices. Lunch is a terrific value. Salads are especially attractive and fresh. Service is just right: friendly and attentive without hovering. The dining area and lounge are bright and welcoming. Hotel guests should have no reason to venture far."

  • "service was great but don't be in a hurry you may wait a while for your food"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Food was beautifully presented and full of flavor. It was nice to have a real waiter instead of a college student. Simple, cozy decor."
    Dined on 2/3/2014
  • "No ones cryin' for the old Red Lion, as Larks has come to Medford. A creative menu with a little something for carnivores, omnivores and vegetarians--our three meals were excellent. Service was outstanding--warm, friendly and knowledgeable. We'll be back..."
    Dined on 1/31/2014
  • "This was my 2nd time going. The first time I went with a group of friends and it was really nice. This time I went with my husband. He is a big time foodie and loves to find a good place to eat out. He has not stopped talking to people about it. He loved it and so did I."
    Dined on 1/31/2014
  • "Took forever to get our entrees. Portions were very large,would have preferred lower prices with less food. Felt the prices were high for the quality and ambience. Wine bottle prices were exceedingly marked up. Desserts were good but nothing special. I will say the fried chicken was the best I've had but $26 was pretty steep. For the same money we consistently get our socks knocked off at the Bistro at the Jacksonville Inn"
    Dined on 1/30/2014
  • "I was not sure what to expect. The prices were that of fine dining, but the choices ranged from fried chicken & meatloaf to duck & Coq Au Vin. The bread looked homemade, nice texture & flavor. The Fish Soup was "OK". The Beet Salad was presented beautifully. But, the favors did not blend well. The microgreens that topped the Beet "Raviolis" were too bitter for any balance with the beets, and one could not taste the cheese at all. The Squash Gnocchi was tender, but the favors paired within the dish did not enhance each other, but instead stood out as separate contrasting entities. Coq Au Vin was "Good". We would be back if the price reflected the flavors. But, for the $ to flavor ratio, we will go elsewhere next time."

  • "Food was disappointing. Menu had just been changed so we were not that impressed. We will be back to try it again."

  • "Very good food; excellent service; quiet surroundings; good lighting level (not too high, not too dim); we live nearby and will be visiting Lark's in Medford again."

  • "Our first visit to Larks Medford. The ambience was as good as expected which is nicer hotel level. The most striking feature was their service from greeting as we entered the hotel to the hostess seating us who was very amenible. Our wait person (in this case female) was energetic yet respectful, spoke clearly and concisely. All who attended our table were pleasant and cheerful. They were attentive but not intrusive. The food was good and pricing what one should expect from hotel dinning rooms. We live in Medford and plan to return from time to tme."

  • "I have had the pleasure to have both lunch and dinner at the new Larks at the Commons. The food and service was excellent. Mary is a great waitress."
    Dined on 1/16/2014
  • "While I love their dinner menu, the brunch items are in need of help....dry omelet, potatoes not crispy with undesirable coating, dry biscuits and salty gravy. Service however is outstanding!"
    Dined on 1/12/2014
  • "Visited recently. Love the decor and what was done with the room--looks fantastic. Unfortunately, there is lots of work that needs to be done. We made a reservation, but when we arrived announcing we had a reservation, the host had to look for it and no table was set aside (she figured it out on the spot). Our server was horrendous; he was slow (we waited around 12 minutes to have a glass of water) and he knew nothing about the menu or drinks. Any information we needed we had to ask for (including asking him what was on the Charcuterie plate, which was rudely put in front of us and the delivery person took off after leaving it at our table). Duck was excellent, and prepared just right, but the sides had no salt or seasoning."

  • "We recently had lunch at Medford Lark's. Having dined at their Ashland location on many occasions I could not help but compare the two venues. The menus are identical. The level of service, attentive, mirrors that found in Ashland. The big difference was the ambiance. Lark's Medford lacks the coziness of its sister restaurant. The restaurant feels larger, more open space and does not have the intimacy that is a hallmark of Lark's in Ashland. I was seated in a booth and looked out across the room through a bank of windows at a row of motel rooms behind which one could see the traffic on I-5. The table arrangement would benefit from something that would break up the sight line for guests whose seating faces the freeway."
