    My friend and I had the most magical evening at Clover. We were greeted at each point throughout the night with warmth and a smile. The delightful simplicity of the cutlery and the curated lighting only added to our experience. Lastly, the potatoes. I’ve never met a starch I didn’t like and this dish quite possibly was the most scrumptious plate of food I’ve ever had placed in front of me. Perhaps it was the potato that was lucky.
