Clementines Steak House - Carpinteria

I had an exceptional experience dining here. You can truly taste the love in the food. The Red Snapper was a taste explosion. Everything is made to order. I've never had a salad that felt so unique and special. The service was always complemented by warm smiles, and the staff were full of charisma. The locals were incredibly friendly too. We celebrated our anniversary here, and the decor was stunning. The seating, decor, music, and people create an atmosphere that I believe everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime.

The bread is freshly baked and absolutely perfect, and the soup is deliciously made. I can't wait to try the NY steak; I have a feeling it will be fantastic. The staff is very friendly, even though I arrived without a reservation. The restaurant has a lovely, tranquil atmosphere, and there’s parking available in the back.

Our meal started with a bowl of mussels and a salad topped with homemade dressing. The fried chicken was made to order, incredibly tender, and had a perfectly spiced crispy exterior. The prime rib was juicy and cooked to perfection. The chef bakes a wide variety of fresh cakes every day, making it a delightful challenge to choose just one to finish our meal. My husband opted for the cherry cake, which balanced tartness and sweetness beautifully. I had the walnut chocolate brew cake, which was absolutely divine. Visit for the food, but be prepared to be treated like family!

Clementine's is my favorite restaurant in Carpinteria, CA. Huge portions of delicate fried chicken. Teriyaki Steak melts in his mouth. Everything is homemade with touch of old fashion. There are homemade cakes for dessert.

Highly recommend this restaurant. Service was superb, and quick. We had the prime rib special and the fried chicken both were excellent. Very friendly and attentive staff, (our water glasses were never empty). Our waitress, and other staff stop frequently to ask how everything was. Oh and the pies...DELICIOUS. We'll definitely be going back. A LOT of food for your money.
