    Had an incredible experience at Clam Bar last night. The jazz music and ambience set the perfect mood—ideal for a date or just a great night out. The food was nothing short of amazing—probably some of the best I’ve ever had. The tuna tartare was impeccable, the Caesar salad was a classic, though the anchovies were extremely strong (even for someone like me). Service was top-notch, and overall, this place is definitely going to be one of my usual spots. Highly recommend!

    Everything is great once we arrived. However, when I called to say we were running late and that two people were last minute cancellations, the girl who answered the phone was extremely rude to me. "Would be great for more notice next time." Was her response to me. I had just called to be courteous about the time so was not expecting this at all. We ended up having 5 people dining and the somm and service was great. Just a bit disappointed with the calling situation - especially when I was trying to be polite about us running late. Have heard about this same complaint from other professionals. You'll need to let this person (no idea of her name) know, that this type of behavior is unacceptable - especially when someone calls to politely let you know we are running late. Will be back, but would love for this to be taken on board. Cheers.

    A cozy and exceptional spot, consistently great service and options to dine. Cocktails are on point. A must visit at least once.

    It was a lovely first experience having lunch at Clam Bar. Lovely building and decor. Friendly, efficient staff. The service is very fast and the meals come quickly, so definitely designed for business lunches during the weeks. Delicious food!

    Given that we were in for a quick pre-show dinner (at 5.30pm), there was little expectation that our restaurant experience would be the evening’s highlight. I got that wrong. There was a real sense of welcome from the moment we walked through the door of Clam Bar’s beautiful room. A perfect Negroni, excellent sashimi (served with finger lime, sesame salt and wasabi), delicious crayfish spaghetti and a glass of knock-your-socks-of Chablis, all served by delightful staff. What’s not to love?

    Arrived for the early sitting. Nice place with a good vibe. Interesting menu however the service was a bit impersonal and the Pinot we bought by the glass was unimpressive. Overall I felt food was great but don’t expect to be looked after once the place gets busy.
