    Overpriced and and not very tasty. It feels like it is priced like a fine dining restaurant, but the food quality is what you would get from a food truck. Fonda Balam was much better, and don’t plan on returning to Bar Clams unless the menu gets a complete overhaul. Everything was over salted, and served in starters portions. Might be in the minority here, but I’ve always found Matty Matheson very overrated.

    The entire experience was perfection. The food was fantastic. Our server Jack made everything exciting and enjoyable. The music was amazing. The vibe in the restaurant was the best. The steamed clams were the best I’ve ever had and the lobster bisque was off the charts.

    A vibey city gem as one would say! This place oozes edge and charm, from its interior to its menu. My overall experience was absolutely fantastic - upon arriving, to sitting down and enjoying the meal, nothing felt short or missed the mark. My friend and I ordered a bit of everything, and our stand-out dishes were the oysters, shrimp cocktail, the crab dip and the grilled cheese. The oysters were fresh, and paired with their delicious house hot sauce, it was a home run. We also loved that the shrimp cocktail sauce had a wicked kick of horseradish, that cocktail sauce NEEDS to be packaged up and put on the shelves of grocery stores. We also really enjoyed the cocktails, they're lethal but delicious; our go to for the evening was the Sunrise! Our only small hiccup of the evening, was the overdone scallops, however, the incredible team at Bar Clams, were incredibly receptive to our feedback, and truly showed a master class at what flawless customer service means. This situation did not sway our evening, and we will most definitely be coming back for more!

    Great first time experience. Lunch service was outstanding. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable and it was nice to see friendly faces from the industry. Food was fresh with an elevated twist to simplicity. They have a beautiful wine selection with fun cocktails to choose from. Special thanks to Luke and Kendall, we will definitely be back to try some fresh favourites.
