Review:

  • The Lark, surrounded by local surf shops and galleries, is located in the historic Santa Barbara Fish Market building.
  • You can sit inside or enjoy the breeze on the outside porch.
  • The ambience is romantic with flickering candles and old lamps, and the large communal tables are homey and welcoming – you can share one of them with 23 friends or make new friends with some of the other guests.
  • The cheery atmosphere is just the beginning.
  • Executive Chef Jason Paluska uses locally sourced fresh seasonal ingredients to create dishes that are made with the best of what the Central Coast has to offer with just the right touch of exotic flavors from faraway places.
  • Try Crispy Smoked Pork Belly with roasted blackberry, almond brittle, pickled jimmy nardello chile, and chicharron, and you will be hooked for life.
  • There is a full bar that emphasizes its selections from small Santa Barbara wine makers.
