Do you want the perfect spot before or after a show at The Meyerson? Searching for a quiet respite from your afternoon at Klyde Warren Park? Would you like a comforting corner to enjoy a cocktail in-between stops at The Dallas Museum of Art and The Nasher Sculpture Center? Look no further. Situated on the edge of the Arts District, Lark on the Park is Shannon Wynne’s latest foray into the Dallas restaurant scene. For us, Lark on the Park was the ideal spot after participating in the Arts District edition of Urban Adventure Quest.

The interior is warm, contemporary, and filled with eye-catching blackboard chalk illustrations from local artists.

The specialty drinks menu is limited but adequeate for our afternoon thirst quencher.

As it was late in the afternoon we wanted a light lunch. There were plenty of options on the menu: seasonal cusine with global influences. The open air kitchen sent out many “What’s in Season Fruit Plates” featuring a sweet assortment of berries and stone fruits. We ordered the Heiloom Tomato Torte and a Vegetarian Sandwich on Grilled Wheatberry Bread

I recommend this not so new entry into the Downtown Dallas restaurant scene. Stop by one afternoon. The knowlegable, unpretentious staff will make it so you want to stay all day.
