    Incredible food. Truly one of the best in the area. We’ve dined here a few times and always in the bar area. Drinks are wonderful.

    The food, service and ambiance at Clara's is excellent. From appetizers to dessert the food was imaginative and absolutely delicious. I had the Bronzino and my husband had the skirt steak. Both dishes were excellent and the portions were just right. The service was great. I highly recommend trying Clara's.

    Food was excellent, from salad to dessert. We both thought our drinks were too sweet, but we aren’t big drinkers. Would definitely go back.

    Almost had to ask for steak knife to cut veal Parmesan. Fish was tasteless. Drinks were skimpy for the price. Beautiful place in beautiful setting but we are not going back.

    Beautiful building and grounds. The scallops were too salty and served in too much butter. Wine was $24 a glass.

    Second time and Clara’s and it was even better. Atmosphere is gorgeous and food is outstanding. Sausage soup special was unique and delicious. When my daughter voiced disappointment that Cacio ePepe was no longer on the menu ~ the chef made it special for her. Our waitress Mary was delightful with her beautiful smile, knowledge of the menu and professional wait staff skills completed a most perfect evening. We cannot wait to go again.

    We began a romantic evening at the bar with Mike. Mike made my wife and I a nicely balanced cosmo and a solid Bulliet Manhattan. He struck an excellent balance between personable service and not being overbearing. The trouble began as we sat, an hour early for an 8pm reservation on Friday the 14th of August, at the bar. It seems a bus had come and hit them hard at 5pm. The dining room was unprepared for us. We mentioned to Mike at 7:45pm that we had an 8pm reservation. This caused a stir in the 2 servers on duty. They argued about who had to serve us. In front of us. Also, they were demeaning to Mike. We were seated 10 minutes late. Not the worst ever. However, the fact that they had 2 servers with a total of 2 tables in the restaurant made being seated literally ringed in unbussed tables hard to accept. Additionally, no server came to us for approximately 10 minutes to even greet us. When the server finally came to our table he said he was sorry it took him so long to come over because he was not informed he was our server. This was a lie. We saw him informed of the situation at approximately 7:50pm. At the bar. In front of us. We placed our order immediately. 2 apps, 2 entrees and 2 glasses of wine. By the time the appetizers arrived, it was Mike bringing our appetizers. I was fed up. Surrounded by the detritus of meals server at 7 pm before I even sat down. Lied to by service. I asked for the manager. Mike informed me that the manager had left early and they were short staffed. What manager leaves a short staff after a bus rushes them on a Friday night? I paid for our drinks and tipped Mike 60% on them. The place was beautiful and lovely, but had almost no hospitality.
