Lark is simply delightful! Spent the week next door at the Villa Toscano. Our first night, my son watched the fun that was happening on Lark's patio. "I see kids there!" So we showed up for Xtreme Bingo the next night with the truly divine Vivian Dejour. We had a blast, especially since he won thrice! We ended up eating there three times this past week. The pizzas are gourmet (especially the lemon!), the other food is fantastic, loved their drinks, and the staff are incredible and welcoming. So many laughs and good times here. It's a special place that builds comraderie among guests and staff in 90 minutes! Will return next time we're in Chicago.

I've passed this venue several times and assumed that it was small and unappealing. I was invited in via social media promotions and a personal invite from Mz. Ruff-N-Stuff and BOY OH BOY, I received an awesome treat from EVERYONE. I recommend an experience here and if you enjoy Bloody Mary's, grab the spicy version (THEE BEST). I'LL BE BACK!

Lark has amazing food and really good drinks (quack!). They have a lovely back patio for nice days and the interior dining room is intimate and has great ambiance.

Enjoyed dinner and drag bingo! Haven't been out with friends for over 6 months and their cleanliness and attention to covid procedures made me feel comfortable dining with them!

Been here a few times, it's nearby my apartment. Great food, haven't had the same item twice and I'm never disappointed. Amazing service and the atmosphere is always welcoming and fun. Did takeout tonight - the process was seamless on their website, the staff was helpful and the food was delicious as always! A great place that I highly recommend.

We really liked this place when we stopped by for their week day happy hour so came back for Brunch. There food is decent and the specials are great. The only reason I can't give 5 stars is because we got bad service during brunch. I know it's COVID, rules are constantly changing, and staffing appropriately for the weather can be hard. We tried to do bottomless drinks but struggled to get refilled and constantly had to do that thing where you stare every server down until someone acknowledges you #awkward. We ended up paying the bottomless price for only 2 mimosas. The waitress seemed annoyed with us when we asked for our check without getting another refill but we were done eating and didn't want to take up the outdoor space since seating is limited. Would still recommend it, but would NOT recommend this place as a 'bottomless brunch' spot.

Fabulous time! Totally going back!Atmosphere & ambiance: We sat out back in the beer garden, the tables were all a good distance from people (social distancing) and there were a lot of nice trees, plants, and ivy dressing up the back patio. We were there from around 430-620pm, they were kind of busy when we arrived but less busy when we left. We were seated immediately (they did have optional indoor streetside seating) and service was very good despite how many people were dinning. You can bring your dog! There were two couples with friendly dogs that just lay under the table.

Good enough for a quick pre dinner drink. I'd love to get something out of the wood fire stove, always smells good in there

Food was decent but a bit pricey for the portion. The biscuit accompanied with my fried chicken did not taste homemade. I had the Nashville hot sauce on the chicken. It was good but lacked the Nashville flare. Chicken was cooked nicely. The sauce needs to be tweaked. Potatoes were very good. I liked the beer special. U get to keep the mug if u order the Octoberfest beer. Nice experience.

Loved it. Had meatballs, skirt steak (comes w fries) and prosciutto & arugula pizza. All was amazing. Great service. Surprised to see some low reviews on here, since our experience was stellar.

Great location. Once of the few restaurants in the area.I am not impressed with the food. It is average, so if tasty food is your primary goal this is not your spot.What this place does well. Great service and friendly staff. They are also being really good about following guidelines for COVID-19. They have a large patio out back with plenty of umbrellas to protect you from the sun. The food comes out quickly. The drinks are great. They also have an all you can drink brunch mimosa special on Saturday and Sunday.It is a great place to have a LGBTQ meet up or casual meal.

Good food, great drinks and nice service. All of the Moscow mules come with a rubber ducky and they don't mind if you try to assemble a duck flotilla.

Great atmosphere and service. The pancakes are amazing, unfortunately we didn’t have enough time to get the Sunday brunch bottomless cocktail. We will definitely be back when we have more time!

We go every Friday that we possibly can for the fried chicken. It's some of the best around.

The service was very good. We had an issue with underdone chicken which was not resolved. Honestly, I felt bullied by the manager!

We had a lovely Sunday brunch. The Avocado Toast is recommended. My partner liked the 2 hour unlimited Margueritas. We don't blame Lark for the consequent headache. ;-)

This place is awesome! We love coming here for the Friday fried chicken special. I recommend their food is delicious, and the service is always quick and friendly.

My wife and I are celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary and Andrew made sure everything was perfect! The food was great, the drinks were great and the ambience was amazing. We are from out of town and will be back!!!

The service was slow, but the food was great! I’ll definitely be back during the Oktoberfest menu because the apple strudel with ice cream and the beer cheese pretzel were outta this world yummy. The veggie burger is enough for future visits!

I think our guy's name was Andrew. We LOVED him! Great server and bartender! He remembered us the next day and that we were just visiting the area. If we lived in the area, we would be here all the time!

Nice casual with spot with a lovely drink and alcohol menu. Reasonably priced and allot room. There is allot of background music but nothing too loud to not hear the people at your table

A great place to get pizza and a drink on weeknights because they’re never busy and almost always running a special. They do seem a bit understaffed because our poor waiter was dealing with everyone at the bar, a table of 10, and us, and he couldn’t keep up. But the duck mule was really cute & delicious and he was able to provide great recommendations for other drinks!

Delicious food!! Excellent service despite the fact it was the bartender (Garret) the one taking care of our table and it was getting busy with a cubs game nearly approaching. He kept going between behind the bar making drinks and checking on his tables. Props to him!

I really do enjoy this place - mimosas are great and food is always great. But we were there around 10.30am on a Saturday (we got there early before it was busy) and we waited quite a long time for our food - despite there only being 2 other people in the restaurant. It was pretty close to empty when we were there. But other than that, very good.

I met a friend for dinner and drinks. Great food and awesome service. They have a terrific drink list and a nice selection of high quality spirits. It is quiet and upscale enough for a date night, but casual enough for a night out with friends or co-workers.

Great little bar in Boystown. A little quieter and upscale compared to other bars in the area. Great place to catch up with a friend or take a date

Such a chill spot! Can't believe I've never been before. My friends and I sat by the fireplace and played medium Jenga (slightly larger than regular Jenga) on a chilly Saturday night. The staff were friendly and attentive. Most of my group got warm larks and everyone enjoyed them. The drinks are reasonably priced and it seems like there are lots of happy hour specials to take advantage of. I'm planning to return for the Disney movies sing-along night.

The fastest and friendliest service around. Using only fresh ingredients: meats, cheeses and vegetables, their pizza is always great.

Old school bar/restaurant with modern design. Food is good and drinks are great. Outside patio for summer season.

Our first time there exceeded our expectations. The food was really good quality and good portions. I tried the seasonal food and was not disappointed. Definitely get your $'s worth. The staff was super friendly. The manager was especially kind and definitely made us want to come back and try some mules there.

The new owners have cleaned it up & made it a fun, entertaining boystown gem. The food is great and trivia nights, weekly specials, and friendly staff are well worth the visit! The huge outdoor patio is the best boystown has to offer. I highly recommend it for a great meal or simply a local watering hole.

This place was the best. My friends and I were there on July 27th, 2018 for a bachelorette and I cannot say enough good things about it. The service was excellent and the food was even better. If you are going to be in the Chicago area this place should be on your list of places to stop in for something to eat. It was so much fun and the staff were so happy and helpful. The best night out I have had in awhile. It was the best.

My group received stellar service, our food was fantastic we had burgers, the lemon and goat cheese pizza, bread sticks, and drinks. I got the Lark Smash Burger and onion rings, be prepared to get a to go box the burger is so big!Prices seemed on par for this area. They do have a happy hour between 5pm - 7pm on drinks and some appetizers.Sat out on the back patio which was surprisingly large and very comfortable. I am looking forward to going back!

First time customer on 3/2/2018. I was courteously welcomed in and seated immediately. The waiter was helpful with informing me what the best selling food items are on the menu. The restaurant was clean. The restaurant furniture is modern. The women's restroom was tidy- no graffiti on the walls or litter on the floor. When I come back to visit this part of town, Lark will definitely be a top dinner choice! Thank you for reading my review!

Friendly staff, great cocktails, very good food! It's a nice edition to an already popping boystown community. You won't be disappointed.

Great menu variety, delicious food and drinks, and excellent service. Prices are a bit high but usually worth it. The patio is wonderful when the weather cooperates. Brunch on the weekend, scary movie/seasonal events, are all fun little bonuses.
