Afar Magazine "Go for breakfast and you'll find lattes, eggs cooked and served in a cast iron pan, and sturdy pastries. But lunch, I think, is really where it's at." Full review

"The Lark’s casual, all-day spot that’s a very solid lunch option when you’re too wine-drunk to walk anywhere else. This order-the-counter spot serves mostly pizza, but the sandwiches are good too." Full review
