   This is one of the highest quality restaurant experiences in Austin. The menu hits every time, the location has understated elegance, and the staff are fantastic. Can't recommend enough.

   The white napkins must have been new because they was white lint all over my black skirt and my sweater. The tables are a little bit too small. I think it would be most helpful if the table was cleared and cleaned at every chance to give more space. Other than that, the food and service was great and we had a great time.

   Incredible, friendly, knowledgable and fast service. The food was super tasty and incredible quality produce. We arrived hungry and got our 3 courses done in under 40 minutes. My only wish is that we’d had a bit longer…but then we did wolf the food down. The place has a lovely ambiance and the decor is very cool. Highly recommend!

   This place is hit or miss. The first time I came here I ordered The Branzino. I had a early 11:30am reservation. The food came out hot and the fish was fresh and delicious. I couldn't wait to come back and try it again. I had 1:30pm reservation. It was the same waitress. This time she seemed totally different, wasn't friendly or helpful, didn't even smile. My daughters clam chowder was so gritty she couldn't finish it. By the time she got her BLT she had lost her appetite and couldn't eat but a little of her sandwich that wasn't very good either. This time my fish came out cold and soggy, and didn't taste fresh. I was so disappointed and was hoping this could be my "go to" restaurant, as I live close in the neighborhood. I will be canceling all my future reservations. Good consistent food is the key if you want to keep your customers. $100+ bucks down the drain.

    Best oysters anywhere. All of the food is delicious. The cocktails are excellent , and their pre dinner bread service is so good. A little jewel box of a restaurant makes for a special evening

    Great restaurant and terrific service. The food was extraordinarily good as always. Our server was responsive. An excellent. A bit on the noisy side unfortunately so it was a little hard to hear one another.

    Fresh oysters were perfect, but the baked ones was a huge disappointment, they were killed by the amount of sauce. It was my second time at this place and definitely will be back!

    I am always very impressed and pleased when I go to Clark’s. I’m a native Austinite, and I love bringing family and friends here who are visiting Austin. It never disappoints. It also makes a great date night spot or a perfect place for GNO dinner. Don’t miss out on that crab lump mac and cheese!!! Thank me later. But you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

    Ordered caviar, the presentation was wonderful. The potatoes in the clam chowder were not cooked all the way through. The cheeseburger was one of the best in town. Clark’s was noisy tonight. Service was great.

    food was great, but I was disappointed to be rushed through dinner as they had another seating 2 hours after we arrived. There were 4 of us and our guests were from out of town and we indicated on the reservation that it was a birthday dinner. I would have hoped for a bit more time to linger, but no such luck.

    I took my hubby here for his birthday since he's an oyster and lobster roll lover and he loved it! The oysters we sampled were delicious. I had the crap louie salad which was a perfect mix of crab, thousand island, capers, red onion and lettuce. The grits are so rich and yummy. I didn't love the flavor on the brussels sprouts personally. Besides the oysters, the stand out of the night was the Basque Cake here. Whoever is the pastry chef here is NAILING it. The cake was so moist, rich, flavorful and the cherries and almonds mixed with cream cheese ice cream were heaven. Get this dessert! Our server Cathleen was lovely - friendly, helpful, professional and made us feel welcome and cared for. The ambience here is lovely if a bit noisy at times. We sat by the fish tank and enjoyed gazing at the sea life. Perfect for a special date night or occasion.

    Our medium burger was ultra-rare and dripping bright red blood :-( The oysters were excellent! The white napkins shed tons of lint. Don't wear black! Servers were attentive and excellent. There's a bit of traffic noise when sitting out front at the bar seating. The by-the-glass wine prices have gone through the roof--yikes!

    We were 10 minutes early for our reservation . They had 2 tables of 4 open but refused to sit us there. They keep saying the table they had for us the people at the table came in late so it would be a short wait. 45 minutes later we were finally seated. Immediately after we were seated they split one of the tables of 4 into 2 tables of 2. We will not be in a hurry to go back.

    This was our first time at Clark’s and we will definitely be going back. We had a mix of 2 different oysters and both were very good. Next we had the steak tartare which was amazing. I opted for the grilled cheese for my main course after splitting a salad. It was the best grilled cheese I have ever had, and the fries I ordered to go with it were also delicious! Service was very good and the ambiance was fun.

    By far one of my favorite restaurants In Austin, when I want a oyster fix I come here. Weirdly enough they have the best burger as well. Very cute decor and ambience. Servers are always very nice. This is my 6 visit now and I plan to come more often.

    I was able to get an early reservation (6pm) for "1" when traveling to Austin on business this past week. I was greeted immediately upon arrival. I asked if he would prefer that I sit at the bar to save the table for another patron. He showed me to a nice corner table in front of the window and said that it was totally up to me, but wouldn't I prefer to be able to people watch. So considerate!! Rachel came over to my table to take my order with a big smile and asked if I would like some bread to start (which was very good and served with salt and butter - yum). I decided to start with 6 oysters and a glass of Chablis. So fresh and tasty!! I asked Rachel if a salad and chowder would be too much. She said it would be perfect and recommended the beat salad. She was right! It was one of the best beat salads that I have ever had. The beautiful yellow beats were still warm. The chowder was also scrumptious and had a little heat to it. The service, food and ambience were all excellent. If I get back to Austin, I will definitely get back to Clark's. Really a nice experience.
