   Great place with amazing atmosphere. There’s a great outdoor space in the rear, but I didn’t see it available on Open Table. There was at least one table we probably could have gotten, but the french door window was nice. Our server, Laurie was extremely professional efficient and friendly. Laurie provided us with a level of service we haven’t had in comparable restaurants. There was another woman bustling around cleaning up, setting tables and bringing water who impressed me to no end with her continuous energy. We had She Crab soup, coconut shrimp, salmon w/ couscous and the special scallops on grits. The food was prepared to perfection, having great flavor and they actually used fresh (seemingly just picked) thyme. Oooh la la. The price is respectable for an upscale establishment. The wine list had a good selection at reasonable prices

   Food and Service were on point. Sat outside. They had a performer who sang 70’s hits with a guitar. We had fun singing along and looking up the songs we couldn’t remember who originally sang. Great time!

   Claire's is located in an old train depot that has been beautifully repurposed as a restaurant. The food was excellent. I had the Thai ginger chicken salad with peanuit sauce. It was delicious, and the presentation was photo worthy. Service was very good. All this at a reasonable price too!

   The service was slow and the food was just warm and the vegetables were cold. We are frequent dinners to Claires and usually eat at the bar with much better results. Our server was very nice but it was a full 10 minutes before we saw them the first time.

    Don’t charge $15 for an old fashion that is full of soda ice and maybe an ounce of bourbon that costs 2$/shot out of a bottle of Woodford Reserve. Shame, food was excellent, but service and bar was poor. Would possibly go back for food, but never drinks. Given this place was recommended by several people felt the hype was blown out of proportion.

    Claire's is our go-tofor occasions, and it never disappoints. Our server was Laurie and was really good - checking on us without being over bearing. Appreciate her. The food - the superlatives are all inadequate. If you go, you absolutely MUST have the She Crab Soup....you need to go to Charleston to get comperable. My wife and I each had a fish dish; she had grilled salmon (as she always does!) and I had the Halibut special. Both were fabulous. Wife has settled on the salmon and that is what she always orders because she enjoys it so much. My Halibut was superb! Easy to cook fish too dry, but this was moist and wonderful. We always appriciate Claire's ambience - it is a really nice restaurant thatis not crazy chaotic....we like being able to talk to one another without shouting! I wish Claire would move in closer, but this restaurant is very well worth the drive!

    Claire's at the Depot is truly a 5 Star restaurant in all categories. Our reservation was for 1745. No waiting for preping, we were seated immediately. We had the bacon wrapped scallops, Halibut, white wine and cre'me brule'. But the tip of the spear belongs to our waiter, Jeff. Attentive, charismatic and very knowledgeable about the menu and all the specials. Without a doubt our best evening out. We will be back again and again.

    Always a wonderful dining experience. Had sea scallops with chorizo cheesy grits. Sold out quickly. Only wish chef would bring back their lucious layer cakes. No matter if we go on weekends or during week, they don't have them. My friend went on Tuesday and they had their yummy coconut cake. I realize help is tight and cakes r laborious

    We reserved a high table inside on a Saturday, a very busy time. That is what they had. We settled for that. But, when we arrived, we realized that it was a very pleasant evening outside and would most likely stay that way. So, we asked if we could be seated outside and with a smile they said let's check. I have experience with small business and understand the importance of being flexible and making the customer happy. Some small businesses, especially long time successful ones fall into the trap of getting "full of themselves" and by doing so hasten their eventual demise. Not so at Clare's. They treat each customer as important. That is a culture set and insured by the owner, and one the staff can be proud to be a part of. Thank you Clare's . . . we will be back again and again.

    Waitress was horrible. It was a birthday event. She never asked anyone for drink refills. The member of the party who’s birthday it was had to ask for a refill. Then when the waitress brought that to the table she never asked other members if they needed a refill even though all of our glasses were empty. In addition, Claires provides a small dessert for the member who’s birthday it was. She never provided the dessert. Yes she knew it was a birthday event

    Martini was yummy! Cup of She-Crab was amazing!!! Coconut shrimp was awesome! The filet was OK, a little overcooked since I had asked for medium rare. Vegetables were delicious. My husband's salmon was good, but he didn't care for the couscous. He wasn't offered an alternative. Also, it was very loud in the room; so much that we had to speak loudly at each other to be heard. We had high expectations for the restaurant since it was our first visit, but unfortunately we were a little disappointed. We might be back someday, but not sure.

    Enjoyed a leisurely lunch outside on a sunny day. The food was exellent as was the service. When it looked like we would arrive early in Warrenton, we called to ask if we could be seat earlier than our reservation. The staff was friendly and accomadating - it made for a nice afternoon!
