"Here’s the de facto answer to the question “Where should I eat oysters and sip martinis in Austin?” Clark’s has earned that reputation by offering excellent versions of both. The cozy dining room feels very New England, but when the weather is nice, there’s no better place to be than on the large patio covered in pastel-yellow umbrellas that provide shade, ambiance, and a feeling of coastal elitism. A meal here isn’t cheap, and because reservations book out weeks in advance, it’s not really one that you casually walk into. " - nicolai mccrary
