    We recently dined at Clementine on a Saturday evening and had a fantastic experience. With a reservation in place, we were seated promptly at a comfortable high-top near the bar. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with thoughtfully curated artwork and music that struck the perfect balance—mellow yet upbeat. Our drinks arrived quickly and were excellent. The service was friendly and attentive, and as I told our waiter, the ribeye was one of the best I’ve had outside of my own kitchen. The salads were fresh and flavorful, and my kids devoured their burgers—a clear sign of a great meal. I also appreciated the menu’s transparency regarding allergens, which made dining easy for the gluten-free members of our party. The variety of options ensured everyone had something to enjoy. Although we don’t typically order dessert, we made an exception this time, and it was well worth it. The dairy-free, gluten-free chocolate mousse was a revelation, and the peanut butter pie was just as delightful. It had been quite a while since our last visit to Clementine, but we’re already planning our return. Keep up the great work!
