   Thank you so much for your kind words and for joining us! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We also appreciate your note about the noise level—our front tables can occasionally carry a bit more sound during peak hours, and we’re exploring ways to soften that experience while maintaining the energy our guests enjoy. We hope to welcome you back soon, perhaps at one of our more intimate tables if you'd prefer a quieter setting.

   Our first time dining at Claywood and loved our experience. Our server Chris was so friendly and welcoming. The chicories salad was so well balanced, the market fish so delicious and fabulous Basque cheese cake. Chef Cory came to our table to introduce himself and made us feel special, definitely will return

   We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary at Claywood last night and truly enjoyed the experience. The ambience of natural brick walls with b/w art is casual chic. The noise level is low enough to enjoy a conversation. Hooray! Who put the din in dinner anyway? Not Claywood. Our waiter Cohen took great care of us with menu descriptions and recommendations, including a wine selection. I entered expecting to order the lauded rack of lamb, but we both ordered the daily seafood special, wild-caught striped sea bass with tangine sauce. After a fabulous, incredibly seasoned, 1/2 dozen oysters and white asparagus as apps, we dove into the main. The sea bass was perfectly cooked, sweet and moist. My favorite dessert is cheesecake, and the recipe I make remains my fave. That said, Claywood’s is the same firm but creamy texture. Perfect. The 2 of us couldn’t finish the huge portion. I’ve read comments that the portions are small for the price. Such was not our experience. My husband helped me polish off our apps, but even he couldn’t finish my fish or the cheesecake. I anticipate paying for such quality, frankly, and we’ll happily do so again, Cohen shared a few hints about the spring menu coming soon. All we can say is Make Your Reservations now!

   Thank you so much for celebrating your 20th wedding anniversary with us—it’s truly an honor to be part of such a meaningful milestone. We’re thrilled that you enjoyed not only the atmosphere, but the thoughtful service from Cohen! We’re especially grateful you mentioned the balance between quality and portion size—our culinary team puts so much care into sourcing and crafting dishes that deliver on flavor, freshness, and presentation, and it means the world to hear that it resonated with you. We can’t wait to welcome you back this spring—Chef Tory and our team are preparing something truly special for the season, and we’re so glad you got a little preview! Thank you again for the kind words and support. Here's to many more celebrations ahead!

   The food was good but not worth the price paid. The white burgundy wine was incredible. The old fashioned was good but the pour was light. Not worth the price. Service was great. Had to wait for someone to greet us when we arrived. Overall good experience. Not sure I’ll go back.

   Thank you for dining with us and taking the time to share your thoughts. We're glad you enjoyed the service, the White Burgundy, and much of your experience. At Claywood, we use jiggers for craft cocktails to ensure consistency and fair pricing—standard practice in top-tier bars. Our food pricing reflects the true cost of sourcing fresh, local ingredients and fairly compensating skilled culinary professionals. We understand value can be subjective and know we may not be for everyone, but our mission remains rooted in thoughtfully crafted experiences. We hope to welcome you again soon.

    Way too expensive for what you get. My wife and I shared 1 entree and two sides. Each had one glass of wine and shared one desert. Bill with tip was $165 food was good but too expensive
