Best Restaurants for Foodies in Clarkston

The Halibut and Red Snapper were outstanding, and Katelyn was an amazing server who was very knowledgeable about the menu. It was very disappointing that we had 8:45 reservations, but we were not seated until 9:15. This was Valentines weekend, but I feel that a restaurant of this caliber should have been better prepared for the holiday crowd.

The food was fantastic and the portions relative to the size were very reasonable. Honestly, for a more upscale tapas place the cost of each plate is relatively low, as long as you're conscious of the cost of things you're ordering. The mac n' cheese and calamare was outstanding, and most of the other dishes we ordered (empanadas, churros, B.W.D, montadito) were at least good, if not great. The only downside is because the food and service is so good, its incredibly busy. We made a reservation for 8:30 and didn't get sat until 8:50, which was frustrating. Iberian Pig did give a small bread and tomato dish to apologize for the extra wait, but coupled with the strict cancellation policy, it isn't somewhere I would go if I had somewhere to be afterwards.

A wonderful experience. Service was top notch. Started with Oyster Rockfeller (the smoke bacon added another level of flavor) and the Valentines Salad, the champagne dressing was a standout. Mains - Wagyu Beef Welllington was perfectly cooked and the local mushroom was a standout. Prawns - the sauce was outstanding. Finished with Lemon Meringue tart, the honeydew sorbet was a unique twist. Mint Chocolate cake was not too sweet and again the malt gelato was a unique twist that complimented the chocolate flavor. Bravo for a well executed experience. Tables were somewhat close causing neighboring conversations to spill over. Seated near the door and every time the door was opened, blast of cold air hit our table. Minor is the scope of things but worth mentioning.

It was our ten year anniversary so after ordering oysters (delicious!) and cocktails, we decided to order broiled lobster, which since they hadn’t updated the menu-they were not serving it. Okay, so we decided to go somewhere else. After explaining this to our amazing Server, O.D. He spoke to the Chef, Eddie. Eddie visited our table, apologized that the lobster was not available to be served the way we like, but he said that he would accommodate us and prepare it especially for us since it was our anniversary. He also served us a few complimentary dishes and a glass of champagne, too! The food was absolutely amazing, and we gave a generous tip to O.D in appreciation for going above and beyond. Chef’s kiss to Eddie and we will be returning.

The food at Two Urban Licks is always good and the service is friendly and prompt. We started with the chicken empanada appetizer which was delicious. My husband ordered the trout and I had the salmon. Both dishes were cooked perfectly and were delicious. We’re already talking about going back soon and bringing some friends with us!
