Lark

Not only did I come away from this place full and happy - the wine pairing suggested with the moussaka was on-point! - but I also got to learn more about Fernet and a whiskey from the staff (major props to one guy in particular; his name escapes me but it started with a D and he was truly amazing, but so was everyone there). This was exactly the sort of spot I was looking for and I'm glad I got to visit. It's warm, cozy and inviting. I hope to visit again soon. In the meantime, I will be changing how I order Fernet moving forward

Nice spot just off bright and bustling Castro St. Ambiance feels just a touch upscale to make this a great date spot with warm dim lighting and intimate seating. We came on a Friday ~9pm and the place was still full, so we sat at the last remaining seats at the bar. Food was delicious - on the pricier side though did not disappoint. Service was a little slow, seemed like they were running around with too few people. Good for a night that you may wanna splurge a lil!

Small, dimly lit, intimate cocktail bar lounge in the Castro.Musakka was very tasty and pleasant. The mixed grill (miktos souvlakia) was perfect to sample all of the different meat skewers they offer. The arnaki brochettes (lamb) was the favorite. The others (chicken ground beef and lamb) were quite fine.

I absolutely love this place, I have had probably everything on the menu and I promise the food is super delicious! One of my favorite spots in the Castro district. The staff are beyond amazing, super friendly and always there to help. This is a great spot to go for a date, or with friends and enjoy a great meal and a drink.

Cute little restaurant in Castro, service and food were amazing! This was not the restaurant we intended to visit, however it served the purpose for the night

Lark burger had a moist beef-lamb patty and a balance of umami in cheese and caramelized onions. It was a little hard to eat in a ciabatta bun, but I just used a fork to eat the rest of it. The fries came out in a slightly smaller portion than we had hoped for the price of $10; overall the food is a bit on the higher priced end. We also thought for some of the meat dishes like the keftedes that the angus beef-lamb was a tad dry and difficult to eat without mixing in a sauce from someone else's dish like a tomato sauce.Service also wasn't particularly attentive but food came out in a reasonable time.

This place has the best cocktail I have ever had in my life - I'm not exaggerating. The bartender was obviously skilled and into his work, including the performance aspect of it, tossing the shakers around. The cocktail was called the Hwy 360 and had coconut rum, apricot, sesame, chinola passionfruit, lime. It was so perfectly balanced and sweet without being cloying. I will think about it forever.My spouse and I split the French toast and the salmon Benedict. Both were really good but the French toast really stood out - stuffed with mascarpone and both soft and crispy. , The ambiance was intimate, friendly, and low key - seating was close together but not too close, and the restaurant was dark and cozy without being closed in. Balanced, kinda like the cocktails.

Lark had been on my list for quite a while and finally got to try it. It is a small place and located in Mission close to Valencia street , so this area has lots of interesting places to eat. Really nice decor and ambience and so this would be a nice date night place.We tried the vegetarian appetizer sampler 'Pikilia' which was a great way to try all the appetizers and every tasted nice. We then go the 'Rodakino Rocca' without the prosciutto . It was nice but wish the ratio of arugula to other ingredients was more balanced. I also go the 'Wa Penduka' drink which was nice as well

This cute little hideout gives off speakeasy vibes with a chill atmosphere. The food is amazing with selections that even include Shakshuka. Came for brunch and the bottomless mimosas did not disappoint, James our server was beyond amazing and attentive and made sure our cups were filleth to the rim! The energy, the food, the service all top notch. a must when visiting SF and the Castro!

Easy to get into this spot on a Sat evening, perfectly located by the Castro area if you are looking to go out afterwards. The decor was comfortable and chique, without being obnoxious. Perfect place for a nice dinner without all of pretentious vibes that often come with upscale spots. The portion size is very sizeable, you can easily share a main between two people, great value for money. One of the best spots for the amount of meat/protein for the price. The service was attentive and nice, although sometimes they were a bit busy and it was hard to get their attention.The place would get 5/5 if it was not for the drinks. I did not like either the cocktails me or my friend got. This was further confirmed by the table beside us who also sent 2 drinks back to be remade. Maybe not the best place for drinks, but food was exception. Would call the drinks 0/4 success rate.
