Clementines — Carpinteria's Dinner Destination

Clementines fills an important role in Carpinteria's dining scene — it's the place you go when you want a proper dinner rather than another great casual meal. The menu is more ambitious than most of the town's options, the atmosphere is warm without being formal, and the execution is consistent. For a special occasion dinner or simply a night when you want to eat well, Clementines is the answer.

It holds up favorably to Santa Barbara dining at Carpinteria prices — which is to say, it's worth it.
