Patio seating is a must! Such a chill vibe. Dogs are welcome, and it's super cute with yellow and white stripe awnings and cute comfy chairs. The service was perfection. Very attentive and knowledgeable. Portions are TINY so be prepared to order 2 dishes. It was fine for me but my date had a minuscule portion of ceviche. Definitely wasn't enough for him. Luckily, they have fantastic sourdough bread, beautifully presented, so he survived lol. I ordered the roasted gulf oysters - their interpretation of oysters Rockefeller. They were delicious but small. 5 very small oysters. At Willie G's for comparison, they give you 6 very large oysters. This minor critique won't keep me away though. Bottom line: I'll definitely be back SOON! Awesome weekend brunch spot on a pretty day. Anxious to try the wedge salad with shrimp next!

If you love fresh oysters, run here! If you love cooked oysters, Sprint here! If you love gulf seafood, break the died of light to get here. Wonderful ambience, exceptionally friendly, polite, and competent wait staff. But the food!!! It's simply wonderful. Bring pepper you like. They will love you.

This restaurant is very aesthetic, nice outdoor seating if the weather permits. However, service and food are lacking. The oysters were good, but at the level of any other oyster house. The shoestring fries that they’re known for is a unique touch but very difficult to eat and not that good. The shells and lump crab was decent. We asked staff twice for a new napkin cloth because the original one was dirty but both times they forgot.

Fresh food, well crafted, in a wonderful atmosphere. Reserve outside seating. The only thing we've had that was not five stars was the pretty strange shrimp toast. Ciopinno, shrimp Louie salads, clam pasta and the fresh bread are our go to items. And raw and roasted oysters are stars.

Overall, a very fun place. Most everything was great, but the clams fra diavolo was very mediocre- not spicy at all. It was more like alfredo than diavolo. Service was great, drinks too, and the raw bar is second to none.

Consistently one of the best seafood casual dining restaurants in Houston. Amazing oysters from the northeast. Great crispy snapper. Fantastic martinis and service. Food delivered promptly even though the place was packed at 6 PM on a beautiful Friday. We'll be back for more!

We had a great experience and it was quieter outside. Great server and we were able to have our dog under the table. The wine prices are a bit high and 12 oysters $48.00 which seemed over the top but they were at least tasty . Think if you order 2 or 3 they might be one price but for a full 12 at a better price. Only concern along with a broken heater!. Otherwise great experience .

Terrible service, empty restaurant but told we had only one option for a table which was a couch outside between an unmanaged table of children & the valet stand. Showed up for happy hour but no one would acknowledge us, had to ask a busser to find us a server. Didn't get to order anything until 5 min before happy hour ended. Our server had the "n-word" tattooed on his arm large enough to read across the restaurant. Wildly unprofessional, slow & inattentive service for an upscale restaurant. Will not go back again.

Service, atmosphere, & food (wedge salad, crab cake, and roasted oysters) was terrific. Along with a Pimm's Cup & Greater Heights IPA. I will return again soon!
Absolutely fabulous service fabulous food. Everything was amazing. Our waiter was absolutely adorable. Thoroughly enjoyed what be does - refreshing! All of the food was so fresh and the taste were fantastic. I never had red chimichurri sauce before, and that was delightful!

Went to Clark's for a date night. We sat inside and the candle-lit bustling restaurant was a really nice ambiance. I personally really liked the quality of their crudo plate and crab cake (very good crab). I did enjoy their basque cake as well. Overall, an enjoyable experience.

We came on a Wednesday, for my boyfriend and I's anniversary. the food was absolutely delicious. We were served complimentary glass of champagne for our anniversary! Drinks were impeccable, service was OUTSTANDING! Staff were so kind and well knowledgeable about the dishes they were serving. The entirety of the restaurant had a classy & comfortable vibe. 10/10 would recommend to any seafood lovers! The parking is free valet but please tip your valet guy! He was super sweet! I will definitely be back!

Old car detail site gets massive makeover. Here's the things I loved about the restaurant. Staff Service Tables The outdoor seating is where the sexy folks sit with hungover lounge like flair giving folks walking by the side eye as they make their way towards the entrance. It's a silly cat show. So wear your good shoes and strut! But lol...Too bad the views outside are of the chevron and shell stations across the road. So don't get it too twisted. You're still in Houston! Now... the red fish my hubby ordered was served with scales which....no thanks! The oysters Rockefeller were delicious. Cioppino was very good. The key lime pie also very good. The crust Don't get the chocolate cake! It's a waste of time. Try this place but be prepared to leave hungry The portions are small. I don't drink so I can't give any info about that. Have fun

The music was far too loud and the music was not at all in keeping with the demographics of any of the customers inside last night. The he music outside would have been fine. It basically seems like whoever is in charge of the music is playing what THEY like without even considering what their customers would want to hear. It was also WAY WAY too loud. While I like the food and the vibe (and hence the music isn't way too loud...and I'm a classic rock guy), if I experience that again, I probably wouldn't come back for a while...and I am your ideal customer.
