Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Clink offers a delightful dining experience with "amazing food" and "extremely attentive and friendly" staff. Guests rave about the "best tenderloin" and memorable brunch options. Although service can occasionally be slow, the atmosphere and thoughtful touches, like birthday balloons, make it a recommended spot for special occasions.

    The restaurant did not have our reservation from Open Table so we had to sit in the kitchen. We could not even have a conversation over the noise level (normal level for a kitchen). We went there to enjoy the look of the old prison, but we did not get see any of it. The food was good, not great, I’m assuming the price is for the beauty of the restaurant, which we did not get to enjoy. The hard wood chairs we sat in started to hurt after a while so we sat on our coats. We ordered the charcuterie board which was filling, but basic, and we split a cod dish, which was good. We had two drinks during dinner and then each ordered another to walk around the main room of the hotel where a company party was taking place. Total bill $300. Our waiter was amazing however!

    We were a table of seven and we were all very happy with the food and the service and the atmosphere. The food was lovely, very fresh. Everyone at the table was very happy. We were part of a graduation. We arrived earlier than our reservation and we were accommodated it was very nice.

    We came to the clink for my sister’s birthday. We were so welcomed by all the staff. Our server (cant remember her name which is a pity as id love to give her special recognition) went above and beyond for us. She made our experience so special. The food and drinks were delicious. There was nothing to fault. There were even balloons put out on the table for our party! Thanks a million to the staff and we will be back soon for the “baked alaska”!

    Myself and my boyfriend visited The Clink last night. We were welcomed by a very friendly and accommodating waitress, I have unfortunately forgotten her name. We were grateful nothing was a problem or inconvenience as we are both quite picky eaters. The food was delicious and was presented beautifully. There was very little wait for the food. We could not fault our experience and will definitely be returning. Surprisingly, there wasn’t many others dining in the restaurant. We would confidently recommend visiting The Clink.
