    Service is professional, but not yet fully staffed, so SLOW. They will likely fix soon, and be top much

    Fabulous food and service. We went for a friends birthday and they brought out a celebratory glass of champagne which was very thoughtful. So happy they are in Menlo Park!

    I have been to Clarks twice now for lunch and both times were great! The food is excellent, delicious fresh sour dough to start with and the ambience is very nice. I like the booths and outdoor seating. We had the burger, clams and lobster roll all delicious and fresh shoestring fries with garlic and rosemary. Don’t skip dessert!

    Awesome new spot in downtown Menlo Park. Really, really good oysters from both the west and east coasts; we loved all four varieties we tried today so including Black Magic, Pink Moon, Kusshi, and St. Simon. Lobster rolls and fries were as good as folks say from their Austin branch! Don't forget to save room for their desserts!

    The food was great and we loved the atmosphere. That said, the place has just opened and they need to work a few kinks out (our meal lasted 2.5 hours). We will go back often, this is now the best spot in Menlo Park.

    The wedge salad was very good as was the pasta with clam sauce. The lobster roll also was tasty and the fries were unusually good. A great addition to the MP restaurant scene.

    Finally! Clark’s is open for business. What an amazing new addition to Menlo Park. The ambiance alone is worth a visit. The food and drinks were all incredible. We can’t wait to watch Clarks flourish in Downtown Menlo Park. We will be regulars for sure

    Extremely loud, our server could not describe the oysters selections very well, however they were excellent. The Halibut was over cooked.
