About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Our service was so slow. Took a really long time to even take our drink order. A very long time to get our food as well. We had two bread baskets waiting for food.

    Was able to get a last min. outdoor reservation on a Sun. night. Enjoyed yummy martinis, clam chowder and a hamburger. I've been here several times and the restaurant is always good. Service is attentive and efficient. I recommend!
