"Martinis and oysters: name a more iconic duo. The move at Clark’s Oyster Bar is to grab a seat on the outdoor patio, order a dozen oysters (the menu features a rotating selection of over 10 different types), sip a gin martini, and start questioning why you don’t live in Austin. It’s got the vibe of a French Riviera café (striped awning and all) and the bustle of a New York restaurant (expect a wait). And if you decide to order another round and scrap your dinner plans altogether, rumor has it they have an excellent burger—which, matched with a second gin martini, makes for just as iconic a pairing." - ByRachel Karten
