About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Lively
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.

    Can’t go wrong with crab Louie salad for lunch with great bread and butter. Service attentive and knowledgeable. Looking forward to my return visit and trying those amazing looking French fries that were on many tables.

    I was disappointed with my experience. The food lacked flavor and was underwhelming, and the service was extremely slow. It was a frustrating visit, and I won’t be returning anytime soon

    Out of all the gorgeous places to celebrate my son‘s birthday we chose Clark’s. Food was great. Service was sadly poor. Halfway through the meal our original server disappeared, and no one replaced her. The cake we brought in was presented poorly. No one asked us for coffee, check was off etc.. :(
