Executive Chef, Damon Jones - Biography
Larks' Home Kitchen Cuisine Menus:
Oregon Chocolate Festivals:
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 by Michelle Glass, with special attention to our great Oregon wines. This list will impress all wine connoisseurs!
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, and Maple glazed pork chops
with apple compote made from the organic apples are most popular.
Ingredients like truffle oil, wild mushrooms, hazelnut, pear and
marionberry layer in the Oregon flavor. And for dessert it's Dagoba
chocolate sundaes, downtown s'mores, and cheesecake of the day 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 and lamps 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 for Brunch Saturday & Sunday from 11:00am til 2:00pm, and daily for Lunch from 11:30am till 2:00pm and
Dinner from 5:00pm till 8:00pm. Café-style outside dining is
enjoyed during the summer and fall.
“Great cooking is the accumulation of the details done to perfection.” Chef Damon Jones
