Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Irving Park

The Lark is a Northside gem. The energy and service is unmatched.

Always a joy to try new cocktails - excellent service and beautiful vibe.

Great time with fantastic service. They called ahead to ask about any good allergies, which we had. It was also our anniversary dinner and they asked for our names and provided a personalized menu with our names on it with an extra plate and small desert personalized also.

The ambience is so lovely and great for a date. I liked the drinks too. However, we had a bizarre experience with the waitress. I am not sure if she was having trouble hearing us, but she did not listen to our requests at every interaction. It was in one ear and out the other. An example: when we sat down, she greeted us and asked if we would be ordering food or just here for drinks, we said yes we would be ordering food but drinks first. She proceeded to take our food menus and plates away, and said if we changed our minds about food she could bring them but but she’d give us time to look at drinks… ?? Confusing because we had just said we would be ordering food just not right away. In another scenario too, we mentioned wanting to order another round of drinks and she seemed to acknowledge it but then walked away? Bizarre. That being said, I would still go back!

Best Tea Experience; amazing service and great food!!! It was my first time, but I will definitely be going back.
