In Short
This venerable Larkspur restaurant is set in a converted Victorian house updated with ceiling fans and skylights. Add the wrinkled trunks of big, old redwoods just outside, and the setting is serene. Brunch highlights include hash with roasted red-pepper salsa, eggs Benedict and warm scones. For dinner, there's a blue nose sea bass filet with creamy polenta and grilled prime New York steak with potatoes and mushrooms.

My wife and I had the occasion to eat at the Lark Creek Inn recently. We had great service and the selections of wines is easily the best in the county. The service was fantastic and we didn't have to wait long for anything. The problem was the food was good and bad. First the good: There was a crab crepe dish that we couldn't stop eating until it was done. There was also a "relish plate" that was second-to-none, although it came without the advertised chervil tea sandwich that drew us to it in the first place. We also had lamb meatballs which were tasty, but presentation-wise looked like they were served in fresh dishwater. The sauce underneath was soggy and salty, and the bit of cheese placed on top mashed and wilted the greens they covered, removing the one bit of color that might have saved the presentation. Then there was the "Fried Chicken Salad" which we were really looking forward too. The salad part of the salad was very nice, fresh greens and just the right amount of Pt. Reyes blue cheese, bacon, and a kind of vinaigrette dressing. But the fried chicken itself was south of school lunch! Rubbery, bland, and tasteless. We left a good sized piece of it on the plate. Overall I'd recommend this restaurant for any number of reasons, but I was expecting just a bit more for my buck.

I was told by some friends who live in Marin to go to eat at The Lark Creek Inn, apparently there is a new chef and she is doing some fun food. Lots of farm names on the menu, which I think is cool to see. I had a really good time with my partner, she had the sardines with beets and olives- I'm not a big fish fan, but she loved it. I had a salad with avocado and pickled red onions- it was really good. Very fresh and bright. For dinner I had Lamb with english peas- mashed! It was great and she had the salmon on rissotto, she said it was really good as well. Dessert was delicious and our server was great- it wasn't as expensive as I thought it was going to be and we thought it was well worth it.
