Excellent food, ambience make for a great night out. Andy and the team have put together another winner with Clam Bar. Already having favoured other restaurants. Pellegrino 2000 and sadly now closed Bistro 916 I have a new favourite. All the food was incredible, but particularly liked the strip steak and creamed spinach.

We ordered the Kangaroo Skewers, Yellowfin Tuna and a Tomahawk steak, along with broccolini and pumpkin as sides to share. Every dish was excellent. It exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend visiting for an incredible meal. We plan on going again.
