Clark’s Montecito is a stylish all-day restaurant celebrating coastal American classics spanning from New England to California. In addition to its flagship menu of oysters and raw bar, a signature burger, daily catch specials, lobster rolls, chowder and refreshing crudo, this California location features seasonal bounty from the Pacific Ocean. The wine list highlights California classics alongside French whites and reds primarily from Burgundy and the Loire. Clark’s signature martinis and cocktails are always available. A collaboration between Lambert McGuire Design and Santa Barbara-based architect Jeff Shelton, the space offers a seamless indoor-outdoor dining experience that marries Clark’s classic coastal design features with the more whimsical ceramic tile traditions of Portugal and Mexico and a Mediterranean-inspired design that pays homage to its coastal setting and historic Spanish Colonial Revival architecture.

We dined on the side patio with two of your friends. From the bread to the oysters to the chicken paillard to the basque desert, everything was delicious. Great service. And oh, the Vesper! Thank you for a great evening.

Served us bad shrimp and didn’t care. Chowder was flavorless and potatoes were raw. Acoustics were terrible and loud. Cocktails were crazy expensive but olives with goat cheese were good. Bread was nice and radish pared well. Goat cheese ice cream almond cake with cherries desert was delish. Overall not worth it, go to Lucky’s.

Fabulous time! Such a great addition to CVR. Michael at the raw bar was very knowledgeable about the oysters and kept them coming. Our waitress, Corey, was fantastic and the Manager, Jerry, always takes the time to check in and say hello!

It’s a new restaurant that needs to iron out all the cracks. The service was almost comical it was so bad. There are some seating areas that you get not only to see into the service area but hear them beating up meat, it was so loud !
