What a great happy hour/early dinner experience! The food & drinks were so yummy and our service was spectacular. The music was turned up loud but I think we were seated by the speaker.

The food is good, but you are paying for the ambience + amazing wait staff. I like this spot, but your best bet is the 1st Tuesday of the month for happy hour.

Always love Clark's. Happy hour martinis are a thing to behold. And the food is always lovely. We ate outside on a lovely day. The only issue was the volume of the music. But that's our problem (old people), especially because I did not ask for change.

Not surprising that the Oysters were sooooo good. We asked for a selection of the different options of oysters available that day and they did not disappoint. The opportunity to immediately compare the different flavors of each type of oyster was the highlight of our lunch.

Food is always amazing, service reliably stellar. The physical space is just too damn tiny. Between the fear of tipping a neighbors table to get to the bathroom then the gauntlet of servers en route, this space just wasn't well thought out. Between the proximity to other tables and the volume of the music, I could hardly hear my wife yesterday. For the price point and elegance of the food, I would expect a roomier dining room.

We love Clark's but I was a little disappointed this time. The oysters and octopus were fabulous, but the clam chowder lacked flavor and the same with the wedge salad. Plus, it was my husband's birthday and although the host greeted him, that apparently never got communicated to our server so it didn't feel much like a special day for him. A neighboring table received a dessert with a candle, maybe they ordered it, but nothing for us. We will continue visiting Clark's and hope our next experience is what we have come to expect.

Love Clark’s every time. Only complaint is that the waitress came out before we’d even ordered food to let us know there was a reservation right after us and we needed to hurry to order. We were hoping to have a nice long Leisurely lunch and not be rushed. Ultimately they ended up moving us to the bar but would have been nice to have been able to stay at the table longer.

We were in town for COTA. Arrived early for our reservation however after a few minutes, we were seated. All staff very polite and attentive. The food was amazing! We had the shrimp cocktail and the shrimp were big, meaty and delicious. The linguine and clams the best I’ve had and I’ve had a lot. Clams were huge and cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend Clark’s Oyster Bar as a must when in Austin.

Clark’s is always fantastic. Oysters are always fresh. We get about a dozen mix and match PEI oysters as those are our favorite. Clearly one of the best burgers in the state.

As always, Clark's serves great food. The service was lacking and I'm not certain if the waitress was new or just inexperienced. After ordering our entrees we waited about 40 minutes for our food to be served. Not the usual service we're accustomed to while dining at Clark's.

The food just wasn’t all that great. The lobster was bland and chewy. The redfish and pasta were decent but for the cost, it should have all been sublime. Our first time eating here, don’t think there will be a second.
