    The food was delicious. Mussels and chilled shrimp were so fresh. Husband loved the salmon and literally ate every bite. I had the grouper cheeks with shrimp over risotto. The sauce was amazing and portion larger than expected. My old fashion was made perfectly, and Sam Adam's was available draft. The service really made the night. Waitress was prompt with everything, super friendly- you just know when someone is seasoned in their job. Her recommended dessert was ordered to go & we enjoyed it later that same evening while snug on the couch. Noise level raised a bit here and there but not at all bothersome, especially for a busy Saturday night. Ambiance works for a small group or romantic dinner for 2.

    The ambience of the restaurant is perfect - the pork chop was the best I have ever had - and the attention to detail is off the charts. Excellence is a choice and the team at 211 Clover choose it !

    First time dining…was an excellent experience! Grace provided wonderful, friendly service with a warm smile. Food was delicious! We enjoyed the Ribeye and the NY Strip. The Mac n cheese was good and the Asiago spinach was great! Even the salad was very good…crisp with bacon, egg, etc. The chocolate mousse cake was good but the strawberry shortcake and ice cream was delicious! Thank you Grace and crew for a wonderful experience!
