Chef Mike Price offers an ever-evolving menu and raw bar that celebrates the freshest seafood and seasonal, market-driven ingredients. The Clam's renowned cuisine and genuine hospitality pair perfectly with its exposed-brick dining room and windows that overlook James Walker Park on Hudson Street.

Both indoor & outdoor seating are available, with outdoor seating either on our front patio or in our all-weather tent with sky-lit ceilings & sunset views.

We've been meaning to try The Clam for years- finally made it! And we were NOT disappointed. The weather was mild, so we opted for their outdoor seating, which is absolutely gorgeous with lovely ambience. The food was superb as was the service. Drinks were also amazing. Will definitely be back!

Great dinner in their outside seating. As it was a date night, we were actually able to hear each other which is rare. The oysters were delicious, the autumn salad was great and our fish entrees were delicious. Friendly service and a night out for two didn’t break the bank (as is too often in NYC these days).

The food was just OK. The spaghetti with clam sauce was disappointing. Too much gloppy tomato-based sauce that kind of drowns the pasta. The arugula on top just wilts and doesn’t add anything. The mozzarella salad was pretty good, but expensive. The quality of the food was not worth the cost.

Awesome service from Brice and the waitstaff from beginning to end. Unlike other restaurants, this place actually cares about executing and creating a wonderful dining experience. The staff was friendly, and the food was great, nice portions and I would recommend in a heart beat. It’s my new go to spot :)

One of my favorite restaurants in the West Village. Every dish is great, you can't go wrong with any choice. My favorites are the lobster and clam sliders and the spicy clam pasta dish. The oysters are delicious as well!

I thought the food was mediocre. I question whether the Faroe Island Salmon I ordered was farm raised Salmon. I couldn’t recommend dining at Clam although the service and ambiance was excellent

Dear Barry, First of all, I would like to thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am terribly sorry that the Salmon was not to your liking, your review will be passed on to our Chef. I assure you this is not reflective of our standards with our produce. I would love to have the opportunity to turn your experience around. In an effort to do so, I would like to offer you a complimentary round of drinks on your next visit. Best regards, Gerardo Tiscareño Castro General Manager
