The Tavern at Lark Creek Restaurant Review

: The Tavern at Lark Creek is a chicly downscaled remodel of the 20-year-old Lark Creek Inn. It’s still owned by the Lark Creek Restaurant Group but now there’s a different look and a menu so appealing in its range of lower-priced yet creative dishes, you’ll almost be glad the economy’s on the skids. There’s an American Colonial style to the spindled wooden chairs in two clubby rooms; the outdoor garden overlooking a tree-hung stream is one of Marin’s choicest hangouts. In the main dining room, a wood-fired oven blazes to produce succulent entrées such as crisp-skinned chicken or smoky moussaka with spicy lamb sausage. Starters include the plush decadence of deep-fried macaroni and cheese croquettes with cheese fondue. Seasonal salads such as diced ahi crudo with dried olives, orange, jícama and wild fennel fronds are reminiscent of spa food in a Mediterranean resort. New Orleans flavors shine in shrimp and Anson Mills organic white corn grits, served bubbling in an individual Lodge skillet. Many dishes change seasonally. Cocktails include quaffs such as a dream of a cucumber-based refresher; the approachable wine list includes biodynamically farmed selections.
