What People Are Saying About Lark Creek Steak

The hurdle in attaining urban respectability here? The heavily trafficked mall location. But blond wood, elegant track lighting and an exhibition kitchen bordered by stone tile strike a balance; the space presents the expense-account atmosphere a top steakhouse requires and the warmth needed to make civilians feel welcome, too. Attentive service and a main room separated from the shopping outside help diners forget about the Foot Lockers and Kay Jewelers nearby. Beef: real food for real people--not just those with a suit and a Blackberry. The menu of that plus pork, fish, fowl and their supporting cast offers few distractions from the old-school carnivore approach. And that's good. Caesar salad hits its tangy mark with a fresh-romaine crunch and the clam-and-mussel chowder boasts a smoky bacon undertone. Cutting tender filet mignon's like slicing mousse; the bone-in ribeye has just the right mix of juice and fruitwood-and-ember-grilled char; and the grape cheesecake is a rich, guess-who's-hitting-the-gym-tomorrow finale.

I tried to make a reservation but the restraurant didn't help me at all. When I called to reconfirmed, I found the same reservationist messed up mine. She was also rude. I wanted to have nice dinner for somebody special but worryied a lot. I emailed the restaurant to reconfirma again but no reply at all. When we went to the place. Our table was not great. Small and packed place. I'll not be back there!

I wanted to treat my friend to a lovely dinner for her birthday. We met before 6pm at the bar. The very same day at 11am I called the restaurant to make a reservation for two. I was on the phone with some female for a long 5 minutes spelling few times my name (my last name has only 7 letters) and requesting specific sitting area (quiet table so we could talk). For some reason this entire experience on the phone made me exhausted and after hanging up I was glad it was over and at the same time I was happy that this person on the other end finally got it. When was time for our dinner I went to the hostess and told her that we are ready for our dinner. I gave her my name and in respond, few seconds later she told me that I do not have a reservation.!!!! They do not have my name on the reservation list! Go figure! Just because we had not enough time that evening to go some place else, we end up having dinner in this restaurant and our meals were very good. But I will never go back!!!!! One more thing. I also wish that the bartender serving us before dinner was warmer.

I cannot believe the positive reviews. These people giving good reviews must be employees or Management! We went here for lunch after shopping. After waiting at the bar and never getting our drinks, we were sat. I ordered a steak that was OK in taste but I swear it was so small I laughed when the plate was put in front of me. My friend ordered the chicken salad. There was no chicken! We also ordered the crab fritters for an appetizer that came out with the entrees. Not to mention we didn't get share plates or extra untesils. So we used the same ones. I practically had to beg for more drinks, that were forgotten. After the so-so food we had the butterscotch pudding. It tasted like refrigerator. After paying the ridiculous bill I was fuming. I asked for the manager who seemed indifferent. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PIT!!! IT WAS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!

Parking:
Valet through Bloomingdale's or the Westfield and Lark Creek will validate your parking to a "reduced" fee of $15.
The Extras:
Give a friend the gift of meat with a Lark Creek certificate, good for any of the Lark Creek Restaurant Group properties, including One Market.
Know Before You Go:
If you arrive around the time the mall proper is closing for shopping (Mon-Sat 9pm, Sun 7pm), enter through the eastern, newer end of the Westfield to avoid a trek past gated stores and the homeless who populate the benches of the western, older side in the later hours.
