Larks- Home Kitchen Cuisine at the historic
Ashland Springs Hotel is open. Come and celebrate the Oregon story –
its farms, orchards, vineyards and chocolatiers. Southern Oregon has become
a mecca for award winning products including cheeses, fruits and chocolates.
Our Executive Chef Damon Jones, formerly of Emeril’s of New Orleans
and Executive Chef of Sunriver Resort’s Crosswater restaurant makes
weekly visits to the growers’ market in Ashland to purchase the
freshest produce to create his comfort food from scratch. Larks’
wine list has been created in house, with special attention to our great
Oregon wines. This list will impress all wine lovers!
The philosophy of Larks (short for Meadowlark- the state bird) created
by owners Doug and Becky Neuman is best described as “Farm to Table”
– pairing the freshest foods from our local farms with great wines,
artisan chocolate desserts and drinks in a relaxing and soothing atmosphere.
Comfort food is Larks’ specialty. Dishes like homemade meatloaf
and Anniebelle’s fried chicken are most popular. And there are creative
twists on old favorites like local vegetable Shepherd’s Pie with
mashed celery root. Other specialties include Maple glazed pork chops
with apple compote made from the organic apples at the Neuman’s
Farm. Ingredients like truffle oil, wild mushrooms, hazelnut, pear and
marionberry layer in the Oregon flavor. And for dessert it’s Dagoba
chocolate sundaes, delightful cheesecake specials, just to name a few.
Unique furnishings such as two and three person settees layered with
cushions and pillows create comfortable seating arrangements at the tables
while loom chairs painted in sage, olive and mustard colors are mixed
about to give a casual, eclectic feel.
The artwork, lamps and even the waiters’ ties have been specially
collected by Becky Neuman, also the designer, to reflect a 1940’s
nostalgia, which compliments the charm and casual elegance of the Ashland
Springs Hotel.
Larks is open daily for lunch and dinner as well as Saturday & Sunday brunch. Café-style outside dining offered June through September.
“Great cooking is the accumulation of the details done to perfection.”
Chef Damon Jones
