Great food and beverage selection and helpful charming servers.
Outstanding experience as usual. Excellent service, super friendly staff, and the most amazing food! Scallops were cooked to perfection and their pastas are amazing as always!
food was salty, service was slow but kind.
Really enjoyed the experience overall. Fresh and high quality food. Bravo!
I love this restaurant. The food is really interesting but delicious! Love the atmosphere!
I enjoyed a my inside dining experience here! I especially appreciate the FOH manager reseating me upon request. My server ( Jonathan, I believe) was very knowledgeable about the menu and enjoyed discussing wines- obviously a keen interest of his.
Nice evening... Thanks Clark Lewis!
Food was delicious! Waiter was not too overbearing, but was there when we needed him. The dessert options were delicious!!! They charge L’s 15% gratuity off the total and was not sure if that was the tip, or if we had to tip even more on top of that. We ended up tipping even after the 15% was added to my check but it was a bit more confusing than it had to be. Overall really enjoyed the experience.
Excellent. Surprised we hadn’t been there before. Will definitely be back.
The food was great but the service was slow. Overall the service did not take away from the amazing experience.
Great food for the value
Birthday! We had a wonderful
Dinner and enjoyed the food and service!!
Cute place with excellent food
Delicious food, excellent service, and felt very safe with their adherence to safety guidelines.
Thank you for the nice comments! Looking forward to your next visit!
It was fine, the food was good and the noise wasn’t so bad since we went for an early dinner. Its a good restaurant for every day or a family dinner but I dont see this as a good date or special occasion option.
Thank you for the review NadineM. It sounds like your service could have been better. How could we have been better? I'm sorry you didn't have an amazing time. I will look into your experience and server. We hope to get another opportunity to impress you. Let us know when you are in next. Take care.
I hadn’t been there since the menu was quite minimal but lovely-back in 2005. We had an excellent meal and experience.
Thank you MarionN! We hope to see you again soon :)
We have bee here more than anywhere during the pandemic and it has been consistently great. Good menu options, excellent food and service. However, what is also consistent is that they pour you about 1/2 of what I would consider an actual glass of wine at other establishments. So if you are a wine drinker you should order your own bottle or be frustrated with a $14 tiny pour.
Hello Teresaww! Thank you for the nice review. Because we use larger Riedel glassware (Burgundy glasses for Pinot Noir and Bordeaux glassware for most others), it can appear you are not getting a reasonable pour. We can assure you that you are getting a measured pour. It may be at another restaurant, you are receiving smaller, narrower glassware which perceptively seems like more. We do appreciate the feedback. The manager is ensuring all bartenders are measuring their pours as is standard. Thx!
Food is great, atmosphere and location are great and everything was super COVID safe. Our waiter was a bit stiff and not very personable though.
Thank you EmilyG! I spoke with the manager about service style and he will review with your server. See you again soon we hope.
Excellent "covid" dining experience. Service and food were high quality and we had a very safe and enjoyable evening out.
Thank you EmilyH! Looking forward to your next visit.
First time out in a restaurant following the re-opening of restaurants during the pandemic and I felt safe and comfortable. The service was high touch without being invasive. Always a pleasure dining at Clark Lewis!
Thank you ChrisR! We look forward to your return.
Food was great, service a bit slow and very casual. Prices high for casual service. It’s very dark. A bit cold. Overall good, but value was a bit under whealming.
Thank you SkyR! We appreciate your suggestions and feedback. Hope to see you again.
It was so great to dine out. Food there is always good
Thank you ChristineJ! Looking forward to your next visit!
Everything was fantastic
wonderful food. wonderful service. i just wish we'd saved room for dessert.
Thank you Porter! See you back soon we hope! :)
great first outing after reopening! great food and service
Thank you InnaS!
Josh (our waiter) was fantastic! He went above and beyond to make sure we were 100% satisfied with our experience. Food was excellent as always. We have dined here multiple times before covid and they have not missed a beat. Highly recommend a visit if you haven’t eaten here before.
Thank you! Josh has been in the family for a very long time. He is a great server! Guests love him. See you soon!
The manager apologized before seating us because it was just their second day reopening since December. They were two servers short that night, and possibly delaying service. However, the pacing of the meal was perfect, the quality outstanding. My spouse and I both noticed the servers helping each other to ensure no water glass was left unfilled, no used dishes left on the table too long.
This was an OUTSTANDING experience!
BrandonS, Thank you for the glowing review! So glad we made you happy.
Great food and service
Thank you PearlPDX! Hope to see you again soon.
Phenomenal restaurant and service!
I made a reservation weeks prior to Christmas Eve through Open Table. I Understood that it would have been outdoor seating due to current restrictions. I confirmed my reservation through Open Table a few days prior to Christmas Eve. We arrived Christmas Eve only to find the restaurant closed! Why was I allowed to make a reservation if the restaurant was to be closed? Why was the restaurant listed as opened and then the reservation was confirmed days before? Very disappointed....
Outstanding dining experience. The food was exceptional.
My date & I shared the scallop starter (2 large scallops) and salad w/ salmon & preserved lemon (huge!). Both were excellent, and service and ambiance were top-notch!
Thank you Jesse!
This was my second time to clarklewis.They ‘knocked it out of the park’. Experience was top notch; service, food - what one should expect from a high end PDX restaurant, and it delivered. The duck and pork tenderloin were delicious. The scallops were prepared perfectly and the sauce with them was really tasty. Even the simple green salad was done “right”. Would highly recommend this place.
Service was friendly and attentive. The food was overall excellent and very tasty, but the servings were smaller than we expected. The rack of lamb was delicious, but it was four small pieces which were, at best, a few bites each. It has a very dark industrial vibe with concrete floors so it's not exactly a homey/warm/comfy space, but the open kitchen was nice to see. It was also cold and my wife had to wear her coat the whole time. Also not the best part of town, not sure we'd go back. They also have a strange tip policy, be sure to read it before you pay your bill.
Hello Taco Cat! Thank you for visiting us. We hope you will come again. I will look into the portion size of the lamb. Some items' portion size reflect their delicacy and not as large as a dish like our steak offering. Our restaurant is in a converted warehouse. It use to be a Model T garage in the very early 1900's! During these COVID times, we have the windows/garage doors at least partially open so that there is fresh, circulating, healthy air to keep our guests and staff healthy. Thank you!
Staff was very friendly! Food was amazing,
Great food, great wine, great service, great ambience! Really enjoyed our dining experience!
Props to the chef, for their attention to detail. they have a perfectly paired menu, from starter to desert. I've always believed that having an open kitchen adds a totally different atmosphere to the dinning experience.
We were celebrating a birthday and it was a lovely evening.
The care that has been taken in setting up the restaurant makes ClarkLewis the perfect place for “Pandemic Dining”; ventilation, table spacing and the attentiveness of the staff allowed us to feel very secure. The service was exemplary and the food delicious. I look forward to my next visit!
Food and service was excellent. In this COVID environment, the staff was very conscious about maintaining the necessary safety protocols. The tables are laid out where we did not feel crowded and made for a more individualized experience.
This restaurant has always been amazing but it had been a while. Operating at 50% capacity but doing a great job. Oysters were to die for! Dinner apparently gets more crowded so it is reservations only. Staff are great
Beautiful room, attentive service, excellent menu, remarkable food, great wine selection. Attention to detail noted in all aspects.
