What User likes about The Lark Santa Barbara:
Good place for sharing food. The food itself is high quality and well cooked. Need to make reservation if you can. Black cod: 10/10. Tender and tasted. Lamb Kabob: 9/10 . A little overcooked. Otherwise, it’s perfect. Crab toast: 10/0. Crabs on two pieces of bread. Pistachio Dip: 10/10. I specifically like this type of chips they are using. Crudo: 11/10. Yes. You read it right. More than 10. Fish skin and raw trout. T... View all feedback. What Bo R doesn't like about The Lark Santa Barbara:
Good food, but slightly underwhelming for the price point. Paid 200$ for 3 small plates and 2 drinks each. Maybe 25% higher than I would have expected for the quantity quality. It always comes down to value, the meal was good, but nothing drawing me back unfortunately. I think there are better experiences if you are looking to spend that much.
