The Toughest Reservations In Austin Right Now (And How To Get Them) 2024 - Austin - The Infatuation
"Verdict: This is 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. Getting a table is easier around 9pm, but then you’re missing out on the optimal patio experience. Reservations open three months in advance on a rolling basis, but you’ll only need to book about a month out to secure a prime-time spot. If you’re just feeling a spontaneous urge for oysters, we’ve had luck with walk-ins, particularly early in the evening or on weekdays. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
