    Service was top notch. Filet was ordered medium rare, was served medium. Three of us ordered this and got the same temp. But overall very enjoyable and a nice night out.

    We visited Clinton House for my husband’s birthday today. The service was very good, the ambience was awesome, the food was excellent, although we wish it could be a little less pricey but excellent none the less. The only small negative thing is our baguette was a bit over toasted. We will come back because the other items were excellent.

    Another very pleasant experience, here; The beef Wellington, which was a little bit dry at a previous visit, could not have been better.

    The food was okay. Was not seasoned well. A little bland. Service could have been better. The server did not clear our plates after each entree. For a fine dining establishment it was subpar. The restaurant itself is beautiful.

    Sadly the oyster appetizer was interesting , 1 minced oyster in Tim’s of spinach. Not what was expected The soup of the day in a small tea cup . Was good but tiny cup . Paying for bread as an appetizer is …. Not what was expected but last time we paid also . Filet was good crab cakes were good . We loved the old menu . And the old wine selections . Will we be back yes!! We love the ambiance the staff is wonderful. Food is good . Thank you for your wonderful restaurant, just a few tweaks .

    We were very happy to come back again for dinner. Food was amazing! It's a beautiful place that did not disappoint. The prime rib was outstanding! The only drawback to the restaurant is that parking is very limited and it can be tough to park anywhere close, but it's really because the place has been there such a long time that things built up around it. Thank you again for a wonderful time and look forward to seeing you again soon!
