    Service was good until after we got our food. After that, nobody came to refill our waters and we sat for 25 minutes after we were done until our server came by and we could check out.

    This is a favorite Sunday brunch place for us as they have both a full brunch menu as well as available full lunch menu… So there’s no shortage of good selections. Friends at my table enjoyed several omelettes, pancakes, and sandwiches. Recommended.

    What Skylark does, it does very, very well. Its menu is closer to American diner than haute cuisine--which makes it a terrific place for traditional breakfasts and lunches, especially given that it puts the emphasis squarely on quality with generous servings. Skylark is neither fancy nor particularly innovative, but if you're dying for eggs benny or a French dip, this is THE place. For brunch you'll need reservations--and a big appetite. Service is refreshingly enthusiastic and the food is fresh.

    I made a reservation 5 days prior for brunch. We were seated in a back corner near a stack of high chairs and a speaker playing music loud enough that I couldn’t hear my daughter across the table. The food was fine. Our server was great! Disappointing to make a reservation and then get seated in what felt like an after thought type of table.

    Hi Erin- We are sorry you did not like your table location. It sounds like you were seated in the downstairs area in a booth, which is a often requested location. Did you ask your server about being moved or to turn the music down? If you did not say anything, no one would have known you did not like the location, especially since that is a desirable table for many guests. Sunday brunch was very busy yesterday, so we again apologize if we were not able to move you to another location.

    The service was kind and attentive. The food was delicious and they had gluten free options for my sister who needs that. Sometimes gluten free buns are awful but hers was tasty and had the texture of regular bread so she was very happy. Would definitely recommend
