Great food, lousy service
Today I celebrated my 50th birthday at a restaurant of my choice. My choice? Lark Creek Inn in Larkspur, CA. It was a light lunch, since dinner was waiting just around the corner. We called for a 12pm reservation. They use a ploy to create excitement: They could take us at 11:45am or 12:15pm. We arrived at 12:15pm and found the dining room mostly empty. 2 1/2 hours later, we managed to get one bowl of soup and two Caesar salads. That left no time for dessert. At no time did the waitress apologize for the slow service. The hostess once breezed by our table and asked how things were and smiled and took off before hearing the answer. Our water and iced tea were superbly filled numerous times. The celery root soup lacked zip and salt but the Caesar salad was spectacular.
