lunchtime at clark's

we'd been talking about trying clark's pan roasted hamburger, particularly because of their massive side of thin fries. 

their entire atmosphere gives you the idea of being seaside in the 50s, with a clash of being in a cute diner before a swim at the beach. 

their gold utensils, ~goldware~, ha really tipped the fancy scales. tiny blue anchors on their plates and the cutest booth seating really made me smile. I love a good meal at an aesthetically pleasing place. it shows passion in what they do.

the best bread starter ever. proof that salt & butter make everything better.  

so on with the burger:

 

even though I had seen a photo online, it wasn't enough to quell my excitement at the moment. so. good. 

inside the burger was a melted mixture of gruyere, which I'm normally not a fan of, but add their sauce gribiche, and the tables turned. 

 

an amazing side of their wood-grilled brussels sprouts. to. die. for. 

clark's isn't specifically known for these entrees, more for their seafood & such, but if what their known for is anything like this, I'm excited to try it a l l.
