Lark On the Park

My girlfriend got the baked French toast, and I ordered the steak and egg frites. (Brunch of course). We shared both plates because we couldn’t decide which one tasted better… Malia was our server and she was very kind and attentive. We love to go out for brunch but this was our first time here and we can’t wait to bring our family here. It will be hard to find a place that beats this!

Great place! Loved the atmosphere, food arrived quickly once we ordered– we took our time enjoying a cocktail and appetizer before ordering, but our server was very patient and attentive. She didn’t make us feel rushed at all which is always a nice quality. The food was good, nice selection. I would recommend this place. I hope we can come back!

Came here for brunch with the hubby and a couple friends and really enjoyed it all. I had made a reservation, which I highly recommend because the joint was hopping on a Sunday.
I ordered a carafe of the seasonal mimosas (berry), and it was really good, though I didn’t realize until we had finished it and one of my friends ordered a separate one that we didn’t actually get the real deal in the carafe. Our wonderful server Alisha explained that they had probably poured it differently and we didn’t actually get all the berries we should’ve gotten. So she readily agreed to charge us for the standard mimosa. No matter what we actually got it was still one of the better mimosas I’ve tried in this town and the *real* berry one my friend received was even better. Hubby of course ordered a bloody mary, which he said was ok, though nowhere near «the best».
Hubby ordered the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and he declared it delicious with perfect eggs and just the right amount of salmon. I ordered the egg sandwich and it was divine with perfectly runny eggs, great bacon, a lovely bread, and a nice side of arugula, which got even better when the egg yolks were incorporated. Hubs would’ve liked the arugula with his rather than the greens he got. Both dishes came with an ample amount of potatoes, which were good but nothing memorable.
There was nearly a sobby moment when Alisha and I started discussing David Bowie, which made me like her even more. :)
From the great service, the delish food, and the cool art it was a lovely start to the day. I would be more than happy to try again for lunch or dinner.

Great bartenders! Made us custom drinks, chilled a glass when i requested at cold glass.

What can I tell you about this place? It’s my favorite place to have lunch in downtown. Burgers are amazing. Is worth a try. I never have ate at Dinner or Brunch but I have heard a lot of good things about the brunch. They have also a good variety of beers.
The service and atmosphere is awesome with the chalkboard drawings in the back and the Park view on the front.

Great place for brunch. Mimosas and coffee hit the spot. Very nice atmosphere by Kyle Warren Park. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Will go again!
Had the steak and eggs. Wife had turkey sandwich. Very well-​prepared and tasty!

We came here for the New Year’s Eve 2015 masquerade dinner. We came at 9pm and paid about $ 95 a person for a for course meal. The food was Ok, nothing truly spectacular. The portions were good and everything came out in a timely manner… But my taste buds were expecting more. The service was pretty good, but I was expecting a little more… I bet this place is great for a quick lunch or something, but I dropped almost $ 300 for that new year’s eve dinner and honestly I can think of a few places where I would have gotten better service and better food for that price.

One of my favorite restaurants in Dallas. Food and service are always dependable and good. Went there today with my husband for my birthday lunch and another server came up to say hi because he had served us maybe a year ago and remembered me! How nice is that? Drinks are always good, innovative without being too out there. Today my husband ordered one of the specials, a panini, and it was kind of weird. The top bread was very small and smooshed, more like a cracker than a piece of bread. But, since we have been here a few times, we chose to overlook it. The lamb burger was out of this world delicious. We frequently bring out of towners here and they always love it, too.

So the food was OK. Nothing exuberantly delicious. I could’ve bathed in that Queso Funido though – that’s the good stuff! It seemed to be more chorizo than cheese, which is just how I like it. I’m big boned, I like my protein dishes MEATY – I have to keep up with this appearance, ya know. (smile).
Next, I had the Smoked Salmon and Pumpernickel. At first glance, I looked at the portion and thought to myself, «I’m going to inhale this in 3.5 seconds,» but after the third bite, I had to unbutton my jeans. It was a lot heartier than it looks, and the presentation was truly alluring.
More importantly, the view, the atmosphere, the mood – they all draw you in. The restaurant is located right across the street from Dallas’ eminent Klyde Warren Park. 90% of the building is encompassed with windows, perfect for people watching. Could you ask for a better spectacle? The tenor is a mix of elegance and relaxation. I could not think of a better place to wind down after a long week of work, or a nice dinner with your significant other. According to Wills C, the patio scene is impeccable.
I can’t wait for the weather to warm up! I’m definitely returning!

I come here all the time for Brunch when I have family/​friends in town. They are totally amazed by how cool it looks inside and the ever changing chalk art.
The Eggs Benedict is to die for — but I’ve never had anything bad on their menu. Drinks are super good and the staff is SUPER nice. Would definitely recommend this place!
Only thing would be to make sure you have a reservation for brunch — they tend to fill up quickly!

Good ambiance, cocktails and the brunch is pretty great. The best and crispiest bacon I have had at a restaurant. On my last visit we sat outside and I’m not sure that was the best option for that day. Our server was a little inattentive and didn’t seem super thrilled to be there. Don’t really blame him, I’d probably be resentful if I was working on a Saturday morning serving brunch instead of eating it. I’m sure that was a fluke and I won’t hold it against the place as a whole. This is a great location and after you are done eating you can always go across the street to hang at Kylde Warren.

When the weather is beautiful, you’ll want to enjoy it outdoors over a weekend brunch. Where better to have it than at Lark in the Park!
It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon. I was in a party of 4 and to my surprise, we were quickly seated without reservations! They certainly had ample outdoor seating for small groups (two tops & four tops) but I can see more a challenge for larger groups.
Expect service to be slow… but this will force you to actually sit back and relax. Take a break from the hustle and bustle and enjoy yourself!
The table shared a carafe of the seasonal mimosa. We got lucky with mixed berries which was soooo refreshing and perfect for the day. A friend had a bloody mary and enjoyed it so much, he had two.
Among the group, we shared 4 entrees and had a bite of each:
Vital Farms Eggs & Quinoa Bowl — the egg is perfectly poached to add the yolky creaminess to the quinoa and kale. Sounds healthy but I assure it was comforting. My guy friend who has a hefty appetite ordered this and he could barely finish his dish.
Smoke Salmon & Pumpernickel — I love the twist they put on this traditional brunch dish. The pumpernickel bread goes even better than your typical bagel. Everything tasted sooo fresh.
Lark Benedict with Duroc Ham — YUMMY! The hollandaise sauce was perfect!
Shishito Omelet — delicious! We ordered a side of house-​made sausage patties which went perfectly with this entrée.
You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! I can’t wait to go back to try more.
Also, don’t forget to appreciate the chalkboard art which is commissioned by different artists on a quarterly basis. All your senses will certainly be enticed here!
Once you’re done, take a quick hop skip away to Klyde Warren Park to enjoy the rest of your day.
Now THAT is one beautiful afternoon!

Lark on the Park is a very nice looking restaurant. It’s a classy place that’s good for a date or with a large group of friends. Unfortunately, the great looks don’t translate to the food, as I didn’t really enjoy the two dishes that I tried. I ordered the lamb shank, which sits on top of cous cous with pine nuts, olives, and some pieces of feta. A majority of the lamb shank is covered in muhammara, which is some type of Turkish hot pepper dip. The meat was good, but nothing special or mind blowing. I didn’t like the muhammara at all, and had to scrape all of it off as I couldn’t stand the taste. I didn’t enjoy the cous cous either as the pine nuts sprinkled throughout added a sweet taste when it should’ve been savory. I’m not really a fan of mixing flavors. My girlfriend had the moo krob, which was a Thai pork belly. I didn’t really like the flavor on this one either.
The service here is good though and if it’s your birthday, you can pick out any dessert from the menu at no charge. Come for the atmosphere and view, but not so much the food.

An absolutely perfect business lunch destination, Lark on the Park has quickly soared to the top of my Dallas list.
They have the kind of attentive service you expect at this level of dining — upscale, business casual, high-​end gastropub feel, Standard American fare with a hint of elevation. Every time I’ve been, a suit-​clad manager has opened the door for me, a smiling hostess has seated me immediately. Sitting at the bar, I’m brought a water without being asked — the manager breezes through afterwards and supplies the straw I’m sorely missing… also without having to ask. They just know what a patron wants.
The atmosphere is bright and breezy with lots of light, and lots of clean, metal surfaces, urban wood and wrought iron furniture. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, facing Savor Gastropub (which could take a cue or two from its neighbor) and Klyde Warren Park.
A favorite of mine here is their fruit & herb Spritzes — a menu of very bright and refreshing non-​alcoholic drinks such as the Blackberry Sage Spritz or the Strawberry Basil Cooler, which will be mixed, crushed, shaken and served with all the care of a true cocktail, served with a pretty garnish and fully enjoyable. For a slight upcharge, you can make it «stout» with Gin. But for those who abstain at lunch, or, say, for the expectant mommy, it’s nice to have an NA option that’s not soda or tea.
I’ve enjoyed their menu basics and a few entrée salads (which appear to be seasonal and always fresh). But what I’ll be back for is the 44 Farms Burger. This gem easily ranks near the top of my Best Burger in Dallas list and I’d recommend it to anyone who claims to be a burger aficionado. The beauty is in its simplicity: An extremely thick all beef patty seasoned with nothing but salt and boasting a height of at least a full inch, I recommend ordering it medium. It’s completely juicy and tender, slightly salty and all things savory. Topped with beautifully caramelized onions, thin-​sliced cucumbers which have been soaked perfectly in vinegar and salt, a thick steak cut tomato slice, a wedge of bleu cheese and a single leaf of green lettuce. And *muah* that’s it. I’ve actually been complimented before on the fact that, as a lady, I manhandle my burgers and rarely ever cut them in half. But this sweet thing is so tall, you’ll have to cut it down to make it manageable.
French fries are the perfect side dish — this is just an American fact. And I know that truffle fries are all the rage. But Lark on the Park has come up with the perfect answer to the oft overwhelming truffle fry trend: Frying Rosemary and Sage leaves in with the fries, and serving them all tossed together. You’ll grab a cluster of fries, dip them in ketchup, take a bite, and realize you’re also enjoying a crisp, tiny element of Rosemary which adds the perfect flavor pop.
It’s all just so good.
They also deserve praise for featuring (not just on the walls, but on their menu) local artists who come in and, during service, will create their chalkboard art for the season right there in front of the patrons if they’re so lucky as to dine in on the right day. The work featured is beautifully impressive for being simply white chalk art. Local businesses supporting local art serving an amazing burger while supporting a local farm — these are some of my favorite things.
Pro-​Tips: If you’re not coming for lunch, from walking distance, you’ll want to valet instead of search for parking, you’ll do this across the street at Savor. If you’re at Klyde Warren park for the afternoon and have already situated your parking, I highly recommend hopping over to give this place a try :) I reservation is a must during peak hours if you’re coming anything but solo and sitting at the bar.
Price Point: You’ll drop $ 14 on a burger, $ 20 on an entrée and somewhere between $ 7-​$ 17 on a salad.

I had really high hopes for this place! This review could change after my next visit though…
First off, the décor and cleanliness of this establishment is beautiful. Simply amazing. The service was great and very attentive.
We started with the charcuterie board, about 7 – 8 different meats. The spicy pepperoni looking ones were the best! Served with warm bread and butter.
My mother got the steak and it was pretty good! She raved about the spinach that came with it–
I decided to brand out and get the braised oxtail, it was a mistake. The waitress said of all the places you should try it here… It was a lot of effort for little meat. It comes with two portions, they were very fatty and very challenging to maneuver off the bone! It was served with barley (which I cook often) and it was NOWHERE near done. It was as crunchy as dried rice. I couldn’t eat more than one bite!
I should have gone with my gut and chosen the lamb shank. Lark on the park is raved about, so I will definitely give it another try–

Fabulous food, atmosphere, & service. This is hands down my favorite spot in the park. A little pricey but fully worth it. Try the cucumber spice drink! Yum.

Took my family here one night and enjoyed everything about it. Complimentary valet parking (but tip is expected), and right next to Klyde Warren Park where we walked around right after dinner. Great atmosphere, great service, and great food. It’s a pricier establishment but it’s in an awesome location of Dallas and you definitely get your money’s worth. I had relatives come from out of country and wanted to show them Dallas. I had made a reservation a week prior for 6, I would recommend reservations for weekend peak hrs bc this place does get packed! Especially around the bar where it gets crowded and happens to be right between the entrance and dining area.
For food I would recommend Seared Scallops, Braised Lamb Shank and Moo Krob. Very good dishes! I had a special which was a fish wrapped in bacon and it was amazing! So keep on eye for cool specials too. Good place for special occasions, highly recommend.

Came here to celebrate Father’s Day so we had reservations but it wasn’t packed at all. I want to give this place 5 stars but our waiter forgot our bread, barely came by to check on us, and the food took more than 30 minutes to come out.
Other than the service, I love the environment! It’s so modern chic. There’s these chalk like art canvases all around the restaurant. Also, the place is decked out with glass walls so it gives off such a refreshing feel. Music isn’t too loud and the décor isn’t over bearing.
The food was amazing! The menu seems to have a strong Asian influence with items like bok choy, toke poke, and braised ox tail. The drinks were strong and flavorful! Try the Peruvian fields. I recommend the curry pillows appetizer and the seared scallops.

LARK On The Park is another restaurant that’s located at Klyde Warren Park. My good friend was heading off to Thailand and we decided to do dinner.
Upon arrival, the hostess checked us in immediately. I made reservations to avoid any issues. Complimentary valet parking is available right next door. Just make sure you have the waiter or hostess to validate.
Luckily, we were seated by the windows and could people watch. At first, it took us some time to warm up to our waiter. Initially, he was moving so fast we could barely ask questions. Come to find out he was working the inside and the patio area. He suggested the scallops and stated we couldn’t go wrong.
Both of us ordered the scallops and they were okay. It wasn’t anything to write home about. Then a birdie whispered to us that brunch is much better. Not to be defeated we ordered dessert. I had the Lemon Coupe and my friend had the Sorbet. Our dessert were very refreshing and a pleasant surprise.
We both decided we would come back for brunch. I want to give it another chance. Honestly, the hostesses are nice, the ambiance is great but the food is just ok. Hopefully, brunch will redeem this restaurant for me.

I woke up around 9am.
Got a coffee around noon.
Gym at 1pm
Lunch at 3pm.
Happy hour at 5pm.
Coffee around 7pm.
Suddenly it was dinner time. (9pm)
Alit on bmx bike on way downtown from uptown,
Lark in the Park seemed the special euro bistro choice.
Luckily I was wearing a smart sweater.
Lark in the Park has a casual tony feel, with rotating chalk board art panels, and a menu ranging from $ 10 light snacks, $ 13 charcuteries, to salads like scallop carpaccio with blood orange $ 14, to hearty
$ 20 + range entrees.
You can relax here. I ordered my vino d jour — rosé $ 10 and a bowl of mussels, quilted in fresh mellow green onions and swimming in a luscious garlic broth. The world could end. For $ 15, the plate could be larger, but I was stuffed, and the bartender forgot to offer bread with my shellfish. Eyes widen.
But I forgave him. It’s almost springtime in Dallas — love resonates — and it’s an easy echo here.
He also forgot to mention that bottles were half off on Mondays, which was less forgivable. (The guy who complemented me on my bike paint job mentioned it.)
Lark on the Park manages to escape the
touristy vibe of nearby Savour and its popular Klyde Warren Park locale, while being both cool and amenable.
Spot on ya’ll.
(Even tho the bartender kinda screwed me over, but the manager intervened.)
