    Birthday dinner for my daughter. The service was slow, but the staff was welcoming and helpful. The food was delicious, even the Mocktail. My only complaint was the noise level. It is hard for seniors and hearing impaired to communicate at that noise level. We all still had a great evening and will not hesitate to return.

    I made a reservation at Claire's at the Depot a week before my wedding anniversary after giving the highly rated restaurant thought for a special place for my wife and I to celebrate. I'm so glad we made the drive from Stafford to check it out! Everything about Claire's was perfect! From the friendly greeting we received when we came through the door; to our outgoing, cheerful waiter; the delicious appetizer, entrees, and desserts; to the many more friendly "thank yous" we received from staff when we departed - the entire experience was outstanding! We are already making plans to return in the near future!

    We love this restaurant! The food is always great and ambience is on point. This visit was a little disappointing. The restaurant was packed and it took them over an hour to serve our party of 4 dinner.

    It has been a while since I've dined at Claires. It did not disappoint!! We were there for a birthday/retirement lunch and sat outside. The hostess who seated us was top notch!! Perfect fit for the position. Made you feel very welcome. It was a perfect occasion.

    I lucked out picking Claire's off of an internet search. It was a great stop for a lunch with friends. Yummy food and great service!
