Where We Meat: Skylark Restaurant

>Where We Meat: Restaurant Reviews<

Skylark Restaurant

2149 S. Halsted St. at Cermak Road
(312) 948-5275

Point of Distinction

Bookish low-lit bar and grill pairs patchwork quilts and hunting rifles with a pinball machine and retro-style photobooth while offering many imports, unique domestic and standard brews as well as chic daily food specials. Akin to a beatnik's coffee house without the drag of poetry slams, you dig?

The Order

Appetizer: Homemade tater tots with ranch, honey mustard and BBQ dipping sauces.

Entree: Black bean soup served with sour cream and cheese. Generous slice blackened/grilled hard white bread on side.

Drinks: Newcastle bottle, Hofbrau, coffee.


The Dish
Kristina: The tots were amazing and the honey mustard dipping sauce kept me from eating a whole handful at once. The black bean soup was flavorful and filling, though it could have been hotter. I had never seen it served with sour cream so that was a pleasant surprise and the two played off each other well. The bread was hearty and fresh. Newcastle is a stand-by of mine--I'm not so adventurous with beers. The service was fine, but my friend John got his order about 15 minutes after I did.
