A top spot to savor SoCal's bountiful farm and fishing goodness, chef-run Lark was named after an antique Pullman railway car and is based at a former fish market transformed into a buzzy casual-urban restaurant in the Funk Zone. The menu morphs with the seasons, presenting inspiring flavor combinations such as crispy Brussels sprouts with dates or juniper-smoked duck breast. Make reservations.
Just as much imagination goes into the craft cocktails. Try the Green Goddess starring chili vodka, arugula, matcha, suze and ginger beer.
