Montecito’s dining scene has just gotten a major upgrade with the opening of Clark’s Oyster Bar at 1212 Coast Village Road. Known for its locations in Austin, Aspen, and Houston, Clark’s has officially brought its celebrated coastal American cuisine to California.
A Peek Inside
The restaurant’s design blends indoor-outdoor dining with coastal elements and colorful ceramic tiles inspired by Portuguese and Mexican traditions. This collaboration between Lambert McGuire Design and local architect Jeff Shelton perfectly complements Montecito’s Spanish Colonial Revival charm.
Menu Highlights
Clark’s Montecito menu includes:
- Fresh oysters from the raw bar.
