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.

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 !

The food was very good. Service was pretty good too. Just very pricy for sitting at a picnic table. Bar service was nice…we’ll be back.

There are 2 options for booking. One is Restaurant and one is Outside. We booked our reservation for Restaurant over a week ago. When we got there we were told that Restaurant option means the entire place and therefore could mean inside or outside. She said the only table available was outside. Inside was a 90 min wait. I said we booked restaurant, not outside. Hostess said that agreed that it doesn’t make sense and she has complained to management but they won’t change it,This seems like a bait and switch and is purposely misleading so they get more bookings. This is a very bad business practice.
