   The lark is always a good experience. The food menu offers interesting items, some of which rotate seasonally. The bar menu is extensive and the atmosphere is very cozy in the main room. Events are usually very fun and well attended. It offers a nice alternative to the bar scene in other nearby locations.

   Bien, todo fue genial lo único que no me gustó es que el brunch dice que dispones de 2 horas y las puertas las abrieron mucho más tarde de las 11 y en lo que nos acomodaron fue hora y media lo que duró el brunch y no dos horas como menciona la reservación

   Thank you for visiting Lark. According to open table you were sat at 11:03am and we open at 11:00 am. We know that a couple from your party showed up a little later, but our drag show seatings are 2 hours, from the start at your reservation time, not when the last person shows up. We hope to see you soon.

   Went for a friend's birthday, 7 of us. Table was ready when you arrived, this time there was no DJ which sometimes is nice depending on the mood, however with a large group it was great to hear each other. Drinks & food were all good. Not living in the city we were not used to no cash, but we made it work. Amazing Server as well!

   My overall score would've been higher if it wasn't for the loud volume of their music. It was incredibly difficult to talk to the server when we were placing our orders and we had to yell at each other in order to have conversation.

   Sorry, but you did know that it was a drag brunch you come for? Not sure if you've been to one before, but they are generally high energy. We do offer an area that we don't do performances and we maintain our regular noise level. Next time, I suggest not to attend the show, but come when we have a standard noise level. Thank you

   I really love doing the Jeopardy Trivia here on Tuesdays but it is hard to get people to come now that they have started strictly requiring each person to get food AND drink! I feel like it should be either one or the other; requiring both is a bit much. I would better understand a minimum spend per person or table rather than arbitrarily requiring an order of food and drink- especially as it seems this requirement is overwhelming the kitchen as I rarely get my food until trivia is already almost 80% finished. I've brought in at least 4-8 people a week since February, and I'd love to keep coming in, but I think we may need to find another Trivia spot since the food and drink requirement has rubbed people the wrong way. I love this spot and I always have great service, and I'm just saying this to let you know that you may be deterring potential business with this policy! Thanks!

   Thanks Isa for letting us know. We have implemented the policy due to attendees coming to play and not ordering anything. The cost to having this branded game is quite high, and this helps offset it's cost. We never tell you what you have to order, but ask each person playing to order something to eat(can be an appetizer or a fry) and something to drink (can be a soda). We thought this would be fair to all people depending on their budget. As far as overloading the kitchen, the majority of people come in at the same time, right before the game and yes it can bog down the kitchen. Please ask your server if you're concerned with the amount of time it is taking. We hope you understand.
