We love Clockwork. Good food and drinks and a fun place. We love the live music but it was too loud for conversation.

This place is a sleeper. There is a serious chef prepping awesome food - from the charcuterie to beyond belief nachos to the triple dip with hummus, olive tapenade and a jar - and did I mention the gnocchi? There was no miss. Plus - the staff is phenomenal!

First time at Clockwork. This place is more a nightclub than a restaurant. While we were eating (at a high top table) people were standing next to us - like a bar. Cool, hip interior. Menu was somewhat limited. We had a big snafu with our order and manager went above and beyond to make right.

Kellie is amazing! Not only is she friendly and attentive, she remembered the drinks we ordered… a week later! The pizza and cauliflower was tasty. The only feedback was that we had a 5:00 reservation and for some reason we weren’t able to get in at 5:00 as they were closed until about 5:20-5:30. This is completely understandable given the pandemic and staffing needs across the world, I just think it’s important to mention.

We enjoyed our visit overall. The service was terrific! I ordered a Manhattan, which was one of the best I’ve had in this area. It’s a great comfortable place for drinks. The appetizer was really good though wildly overpriced. The pizza was less exciting. It was like frozen pizza, not expensive ones, with extra cheese and toppings added. We got the one with pepperoni and sausage which amounted to one piece of each, stacked on each slice of pizza. It was an expensive meal that unfortunately was definitely not expensive food.

We arrived for our 4:00 reservation for apps and drinks. The door was locked. No one answered when we called the restaurant number. Someone came to the door after 5-10 minutes and said they would open in 20 minutes...we went somewhere else.

To me it is a stretch to call this a place for supper. Appetizers yes, but more than that no. Stick to being a great bar, or bulk up the menu.

I would recommend Clockwork to friends looking to have drinks in an eclectic setting or a late-night snack, but that's it. More importantly, I recommend paying with cash, as our credit card was compromised immediately following our visit here.

I was very happy to find somewhere to host all of us for my best friend's birthday. I love the look and feel of the place. However, our food came out so randomly. We would get one plate here then 10 minutes later someone else's... it took over an hour for any of it to start coming out. Most of the pizza was burned on the bottom. Everyone said it was just ok. And after being so hungry and waiting for our food so long, anything tasted good. Drinks were good. The waitress we started out with seemed mad the entire time we were there. It was not a good experience. The only thing that saved the night was the second waitress who came in to help. She was very sweet. We will not be coming back.

We ended up having to find another place to eat because they had a very limited menu due to something about the chef being new or whatever! There were literally like 6 things on the menu....none of which we wanted. We had looked at their menu online and it looked good but they weren’t serving any of that. It was awful. We were stuck having to try to find another place to eat. If their menu was limited, they should have said so on their website.

Restaurant called 1 hour before our scheduled reservation stating the entire kitchen staff no-showed / quit today and as a result we would not be able to eat dinner there. Very bizarre. Manager offered a free drink if we wanted to come by. We went elsewhere.

The set-up and ambiance of the restaurant was nice. Cool vibe. The appetizers were great - definitely recommend the cauliflower and the charcuterie board. Apparently their menu has changed, and differs from what is online. They only offer tacos and pizza outside of the starters. Among the group, we tried 2 different types of tacos and 1 pizza. Meh...
