This is a quaint restaurant with good food that always seems to be busy when I am there. I highly suggest that you make reservations if you don't want a long wait. Reasonable prices.

A great restaurant with an intimate setting. We went there with 3 other couples and had an amazing dinner. The polenta was great and the wine amazing.

I'll start by saying that I'm a food snob, so if I give a restaurant 5 stars it probably deserves it. We started with a basket of bread, and it came with butter and a blue cheese butter which was quite tasty....

Clarke's is a prissy little restaurant with great food. They do take reservations and the wait at lunch can be discouraging so make a reservation. The service is wonderful and the food is far from ordinary. It...

I have had consistently good food at this restaurant for the last 10 years. It is obvious that the chef owner and his wife really care,they keep a close eye on everything, trying to do their best. It is quite obvious that this business is not money driven as so many places are, they really do try to give a good service day in day out, year in year out . I would like the customers to find another such place in the area who has continued to give such a service for this length of time. The meat, vegetables, fruit, wine are all locally sourced, menu changed regularly. Deserts are made on the premises by a skilled and dedicated pastry chef,who has worked alongside the chef /owner for the last 10 years. This whole concept is so rare the people of Lake Oswego should consider themselves priveledged to have such a restaurant

One of the best qualities of Clarke's is that the food is always exceptional. The lobster risotto is a must. But, you can't go wrong with any of their five-star dishes. The atmosphere is extremely cool and...

If it were quieter and the guests were not allowed to bellow at the top of their lungs, it may not be enough to bring us back. We belong to a wine group and have been coming for several years, but the...

We are not sure what the other reviewers are talking about. Since the recent building remodel, Clarke's has become sort of a clip joint. While the food is still fair, it is NOT consistent, entrees were not hot...

We dined at Clarke's with our wine group. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre, the wine was so so and over priced and the most difficult part was trying to speak over the noise. Yes, we expressed our...

In short: the lamb was excellent. Snapper was over cooked and dried to jerky-like consistency. We had the unfortunate experience of sitting in a room near 9 of the loudest, most crude people to inhabit this...
