Lark Creek Newport - Newport Beach

Lark Creek created a bit buzz when it became known that a restaurant would indeed participate in Fashion Island. I was really interested because I love most of NorCal's things, especially when it comes to food. The restaurant is proud of the procurement of local ingredients that are seasonal and sustainable. I persuaded my friend Grace C. to eat here before our venture to the Newport Film Festival screening of Beside Still Waters. We had reservations that are easily preserved on Open Table. The service was top notch. Our water glasses weren't even empty. I ordered the Newport Breeze, the strawberry, gurke and mint, while Grace had the ginger ale. The drinks were served immediately with warm bread with butter. I tried the Saturday evening special of all roasted sucking pig with Mac and cheese. No, they don't give you a whole pig. It's completely roasted and then pulled. You get a bunch of juicy pigs with crispy skin. YUM! It is so easy to dry pork and that was quite juicy and juicy. The skin was beautiful and crispy. Mac and cheese were mixed with orzo pasta with slightly tender asparagus. It was the perfect marriage of cheese, pasta and vegetables. I loved it. Grace engraved in the direction of the chicken tamale pancakes, which was also a hit. The tamale pancake was made with masa and the taste was spot on. The chicken was tender and the dish was fantastic. We discussed Dessert, but landed somewhere. Next time I try a dessert. Bravo, Chef Ledbetter!

My friend and I went to Lark Creek for the first time a month ago. They had such amazing food, their drinks. Tatiana was our server, and we also chatted with the bartender Missy later. They were very professional and knowledgeable about things that were on the menu. I'll come back! Thank you.

The grass fed steak I ordered was delicious and delicate. Pleasant atmosphere and attentive service. I'll come back soon.

Open Monday night, went to a training Neal. Nice, food is great
