    My wife and I have waited for a date night to eat at Skylarks. We reserved a table for our wedding anniversary. When we arrived, the host got us seated and comfortable pretty quickly. It all kind of went downhill from there. Our server was very nice overall but I think tasked with also helping a patio party as well so we waited about 20 min for her to even check back in on drinks etc. Another server approached our table with our check. We wanted to order coffee and dessert. My wife is more passive than I but I was pretty direct in saying we’d like to order dessert if we could. Coffee showed up pretty quickly but it was another 20+ minutes for dessert to arrive. The food and dessert were great but either they were understaffed or just not trained in serving/selling. I hesitated to write a review but figured you should know, we won’t be back. With the French restaurant and Black Cat competing for our $125 or more dollar dinners… the experience could have been better

    Food was fine, our server was nice but handed the nearest person the food to pass down to the next person instead of putting the plate in front of each person. It felt unprofessional. Too cold to eat outside which would have been more pleasant. No ambiance or energy inside.

    Hostess & waitress were really nice. It took about 15 minutes before they took my table’s order though the restaurant wasn’t that busy. Then it was 45 minutes before we got served. Ordinarily, we wouldn’t have minded the wait too much except that we were in town for a wedding. So we scarfed our plates down to get to the venue in time. Maybe the restaurant is understaffed. But an FYI for a later lunch service on a Saturday.

    We tried this restaurant during my daughter's graduation weekend. It was a delight! I had to try the award-winning french toast, and it was wonderful! Beautiful spot for brunch!

    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.
