We had a fantastic experience at Claude’s celebrating our son’s birthday. The service was fantastic, very attentive, and the food was delicious. From the drinks to the appetizers to the desserts - everything was delicious.

Nice place, needs smartening up a little. Lick of paint, new tables and chairs. Food was good, but the kitchen couldn't cope with the amount of orders so closed for 45 minutes to catch up. Not the best experience, especially when you are pushed for time
