   The seafood is at its best, prepared to respect and compliment and not overpower. Great choice of share plates. Staff are courteous, friendly, helpful and attentive.

   After a fantastic experience at Pellegrino 2000, we were eager to try Clam Bar, and it certainly made a strong first impression. The location is excellent, and the restaurant exudes an undeniably upscale and sophisticated atmosphere, complemented by a lively buzz. The service was also a definite plus, with staff being both friendly and attentive. Regrettably, the culinary experience didn't quite reach the same heights. While the New York strip was acceptable, it lacked a certain finesse. The Clam pasta and Lobster pasta were enjoyable enough, but didn't offer any truly exceptional flavors. Similarly, the desserts were unremarkable. Ultimately, while Clam Bar offers a pleasant setting and good service, the food fell short of being truly memorable or delivering the "wow" factor we anticipated, especially given the restaurant's upmarket feel and what we expect were premium prices. We left feeling that the meal was adequate, but not the exceptional dining experience we had hoped for.

   Lady who greeted us very nice - waiter however was dismissive and generally arrogant the whole evening - food pretty good but not great value. Gidley much better experience at same price point.

   I’m such a huge fan of Neptune’s grotto that it’s such a disappointment that the meal at clam bar was aknots inedible. Spaghetti clams was too salty, annchovy toast burnt and all thoroughly below par. Hmm, such a pity as I would’ve loved to have loved it…
