   Beautiful new restaurant. Nice waitress. Great food. My birthday. The staff gave me a card and they all signed it. Nice gesture. I appreciate it very much.

   Four of us had a wonderful birthday dinner in the beautifully renovated Clara’s Table. It was very quiet for a Friday night, but we assume the word is not yet out on the Dearborn Inn’s recent reopening. Though not inexpensive, the restaurant is certainly worth a visit. The room is elegant, and we enjoyed a wonderful meal—oysters; outstanding grilled Caesar salads, each big enough for two; and delicious red snapper, lamb bolognese pasta, and short rib entrees. Our server Mimi provided friendly, well-informed, and careful service. We all remarked on the great evening. The nearby Four Vagabonds bar looks cozy and romantic, with an intriguing small plates menu we look forward to trying next time.

   What a joke Clara’s Table is ! A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT, when we pulled up in the parking lot the lot was basically empty , first “ Red Flag “ ! This was an “ Easter Brunch “ for $90 a head ! First off the waitress ( the restaurant had maybe 8 full tables ) , took her sweet time getting to the table . You have to pay extra for , bacon , sausage etc.. I ordered Eggs Benedict and it was lukewarm , I sent it back and it was also lukewarm , topped with liquid cheese ! The other person I was with ordered a Cesar’s Salad and it was Red leaf lettuce with , just big pieces of lettuce thrown on a plate with some dressing drizzled over it , that was not even Cesar’s dressing ! The Prime Rib was fat and tough ! This was billed as a Buffet and they had three small tables , the omelet table with the prime rib next to it ! A small fruit table and a desert table with stale croissant’s and less then average pastries ! Plus the coffee was lukewarm poured from thermal carafes . I was going to get a Mimosa but it was $30 ! The Dearborn Inn used to have good food and service ! This is part of the Marriott’s Autograph Collection , what a joke ! A pile of lettuce and egg’s Benedict with , liquid cheese on top of it , is not worth $90 a head ! This Restaurant is no Farm to table , as it bills itself !

   Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're truly sorry to hear that your Easter Brunch experience at Clara’s Table did not meet your expectations.

Your feedback is being shared with our culinary and service teams so we can make immediate improvements. Thank you again for your honest review — it’s feedback like yours that helps us grow.

   Not a good Easter Brunch experience. Whole outfit was out of sync. Lots of staff walking around doing nothing. Not worth the high price. Should have gone to Texas Roadhouse instead.

   My family and I had Easter Brunch at Clara’s Table. The renovation of the Dearborn Inn is beautiful! At Clara’s table, the ambience immediately signals a high end restaurant. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. They went the extra mile to ensure all guests were taken care of! The Easter concept was a fruit, omelette, prime rib, and dessert station, along with ordering an entree off the menu. The food was outstanding and we look forward to coming back in the future!! We would highly recommend!

   We made a reservation at Clara’s to celebrate my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, since they had their reception at the Dearborn Inn. Chef Elliott and the restaurant staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience, and we were so appreciative! The food was very good, we especially enjoyed the red snapper, steak and whipped potatoes. Highly recommend!

Chef Elliott and our entire team were so touched to be a part of your family's legacy, and we’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the food. We hope to welcome you back again soon for more memorable moments!

   My husband had heard you'd just opened a few weeks earlier and thought this would be a wonderful destination to take me for my birthday. It was delightful! The greeter had a smile on her face and warmly welcomed us. Our waitstaff, Patrick, was very attentive, and the food was delicious. The staff even helped celebrate my birthday. The noise level picked up just a bit when a business group came in. (Perhaps a few more 'soft surfaces' need to be incorporated?) We've already talked to friends and hope to meet them at Clara's Table in the future! Thank you for a lovely afternoon.
