   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.. :(

   Service was slow and intermittent. Food was average. Much the same quality and presentation as their sister restaurant in Austin TX

   Food was all out of order and not very good Oysters were ok but were served at the end of the meal Crab omelette was like a fish flavored omelette overpowered by the cheese Clam chowder had no clams Wedge salad was great and would order again

   Loved it! The chowder was good, sourdough bread was delicious and the lobster 🦞 roll was heavenly. Super fun atmosphere with a lively fun attentive staff. Can’t wait to go back.

    Server was too obtrusive, bread service was ridiculous. There were 4 of us and were served only 3 teeny tiny slices. Wine list is very overpriced and tge young waitress tried to inform me (a Sommelier) That the Sauvignon Blanc listed was a Sancerre. The list should have shown as a Sancerre  and if you really find it necessary, put a sodium Blanc in parentheses after Sancerre … restaurant needs a good sommelier to do things properly .
