Clementine's Steak House Description:
A throwback to simpler times, Clementine's Steak House embodies the unpretentious little beach town of Carpinteria. Dining here is like going over to grandma's for dinner, right down to the frilly curtains, lace doilies and obligatory slice of homemade pie that accompanies every meal. Irene McLenithan, who will likely greet you sweetly at the door, bakes the pies every morning. And, dare I say, they will best even your dear grandmother's finest. Meanwhile, Irene's son Lloyd mans the kitchen, preparing classic American country fare: his New York steak is topnotch, as are his simply prepared fresh fish dishes and fried chicken. If you opt for chicken, ask for a to-go box on the side. You'll need it. Entrées come with homemade bread, soup, salad, fresh vegetables, choice of potato or rice---and, of course, pie. Service here is kind and unaffected, matching the restaurant's character. Devotees return year after year for Clementine's quaint dollhouse charm and familiarity. This true "Carp" classic is a first-rate dining experience, not to be missed.
