    Excellent spot for our annual family Christmas dinner. Food was excellent with quality ingredients. Really cozy feeling inside, nice Ralph Lauren-ish decor w fireplace and decorated nicely for the holidays. This being said I really think it has a bit of an identify issue. Prices are extremely high (queen prime rib is almost $70!). Other items very expensive too but yet they also have burgers on the menu as well as other lower priced items. And kids menu was that of a low level restaurant. Service was good and responsive but for those prices they really should have a more elevated dining experience all around. Either your are high end or a pub in my opinion. Or separate the two like the Sergeantsville Inn.

    The charcuterie board was a little lack luster but everything else was amazing. Great location and the parking was better than expected. My only gripe is the server disappeared a few times when we were looking to order more food and drinks but otherwise provided decent service

    Went there for the prime rib which they were out of. They were also out of steak Fritz. And then they could only find two bottles of steak sauce with approximately a quarter inch in each bottle. Normally, this is one of my favorite restaurants, but my last experience was not good.

    While we don't have the opportunity to dine at the Clinton House that often, it makes those rare opportunities even more special. The food is always exceptional, the service first rate and the atmosphere delightful.
