Love this place! It's quite underrated in my opinion. Awesome food friendly service. Convenient location and very fair prices. We really enjoyed our drinks, appetizer and entrees.
A wonderful meal with great service. We had fried green tomatoes with chow chow. They were hot and crispy. The pork jezebel was so tender my partner didn't need a knife and the vegetables perfectly cooked. The garlic chicken breast also super moist and delicious. The Lina beans and the goat cheese just added layers of flavor. Dessert was basque cheesecake with cherry sauce. Amazing meal. Waitress super friendly and her pace was perfect in coming to check on us.
The best burgers we have ever had! Passing through Dayton on a road trip I wasn't expecting anything over the top for dinner. The exterior is unassuming and the interior nicely appointed, with a very homey feeling table setting. Wait staff was polite and informative. The lark burger and garlic frites were awesome. Even the house ketchup put an interesting spin on what is normally a mundane condiment. Must visit if you're in the area!
This is a hidden gem! Tasty, chef inspired food using seasonal ingredients! Killer cocktail list and wine list! Curated vines! I had the soup du jour, lovely smooth squash, sweet with a kick of heat! I had the panzanella, elegant, seasonal vegetables, a vinaigrette that made you stand up and say 'wow!' and trout, glorious and rich but light with a lovely sauce and garlic, buttery mashed potatoes. The chardonnay was an elevated experience, all the right notes and a classic finish. Pair this with great service and this is a hot hot, local spot!
The food here is consistently excellent, and the portion sizes are great value. I'm a fan of the filet mignon and pork Jezebel, while my wife usually opts for the tacos. My only complaint is that they need to bring back the shrimp and grits from the seasonal menu!
