The Clam

My birthday dinner was just so well done the service, music, food just ideal!

The Clam is a lovely spot in the West Village. So cozy and so good. Go and enjoy. You

Excellent food! We got the spaghetti and clams, the cod, the whole fish special, the lobster salad and fried clams sliders, the brussel sprouts, and the fries. The fries were so awesome. All of the food was really good. The ambiance is cute and cozy. The service was great. All of the waitstaff were really nice. Will definitely be going back!

This was the first time our experience at The Clam was anything less than outstanding. We were there on Saturday, November 10th and gentleman who waited on us was consistently rude in every interaction we had during our meal and he kept disappearing for long periods of time. Other members of the wait staff appeared to notice and did their best to take care of us in his absence. The Clam has been a mainstay on our trips to the city since opening in 2014. The food is solid and consistently good and the atmosphere is comfortable, quiet, and relaxing. We love the clam dip and the swordfish, although this time we had the short ribs. No doubt we will be back on our next trip to the city, if not before this one ends.

Beyond indifferent service. Food was fine

Birthday with family. Very nice time

A rainy, windy night made the cozy warmth of The Clam even more appealing. Cocktails and wine to begin,
followed by shared dishes of an appetizer and two vegetable sides as main courses, all delicious. And of course the famous Parkerhouse roll, not to be missed. Welcoming hosts and efficient wait and bus staff add to the enjoyment of the evening.

We went to The Clam for an early dinner on a very rainy Friday evening. We had cocktails, wine entrees, sides and dessert. The food was delicious. My only complaint was that despite the fact the restaurant was far from full, with several empty tables near us, we felt incredibly rushed once the dessert menu arrived. Several different servers kept descending upon us in succession questioning about dessert although we hadn’t even opened the menu. It was odd and a bit off putting, marring an otherwise lovely meal.

Birthday dinner for my son. The food was delicious! Wanted to lick the plate clean! Service was impeccable!

One of our favorite places for the food and service.

Charming, adorable restaurant with brick walls and well- spaced tables. We went for a delicious lunch. I the lobster and fried clam sliders paired with a side of crispy, spinach polenta. My wife had fantastic clam chowder with a side of Italian-style escarole. Everything including the service was so right that we are really looking forward to our next meal there.

Everything is great, from the rolls to the seafood, seasonal veggies....everything!

We have eaten here several times and it has never disappointed. We love it.

Friendly wait staff. Well executed dishes. A true neighborhood gem.

Great staff and friendly, helpful service. It's always nice to be hear and the food is delicious!

Can’t wait to go back again and again. Will make sure to come every time we come to NYC and recommended to our friends

Great ambiance, wonderful service. And ... delicious. The trifecta!

Very pleasant atmosphere with congenial staff

Have been to this small but wonderful place three times in as many months. Staff is excellent and so is the food. Wonderful West Village/downtown restaurant.

Great steamers, lobster rolls, clam pizza and pasta with clams. Always friendly service.

Maite was arrogant and disrespectful although I had a reservation for 8 PM we had to wait 20 mins to be seated despite the fact that there was an empty table
Also, the restaurant manager a lady was oblivious to my continuous request to be seated there was no room at the bar to have a cocktail rather unpleasant !
The food was very good and our hostess at the table was very pleasant she made a big difference!
Despite the fact that the menu is very good I would not recommend this place as it does not respect the time for reservations

The best service ever seen in a NYC restaurant-keep up the good work!

One of our all time favorite restaurants. Great food and excellent service. All of us had such a nice time. Thank you.

Easy place to meet for a business lunch (near my office). Interesting variety of food with some nice lite bites.

The Clam is our local neighborhood great seafood choice !! I’m hopeful that they will have the lobster and clam raviolo back on the menu Very Soon. It’s delicious and I love that it’s made with fish stock - no cream!! The service and the decor is always warm and friendly!!

Second time. Great food. Unique cocktails. Fresh oysters and seafood. Delightful service. Shhhh! Don’t tell anybody...

Have been there several times. First place we pick when returning to NY. Consistently a 5 star. Great food and service. RL

Fantastic waitress!!

The Clam was amazing, everything from the atmosphere to the staff and the food. I would most definitely return again.

Tasty food including the outstanding clam dip! Excellent wine choices and staff are professional and friendly. Even for the village exceptional comfortable setting - lighting is soft, elegant, and relaxing.

Very cozy and romantic restaurant. Service was incredible and good was even better. Great wine list.

I would not come to NYC without going to The Clam! They have he freshest oysters in NYC ! I have had everything on the menu and I have never had a single complaint.
Keep doing what your doing !

Very nice seafood restaurant. A bit noisy but not oppressively so. Excellent cocktails, great salads, amazing rolls (which you have to order and pay for, which is okay because they are SO good you might just eat them slathered with butter and get too full for anything else). I had the steamer clams, which were big, tasty, and filling. We'll be back.

The food was great, but the hostess and one of the servers were pretty rude. When my group of 3 arrived, the place was basically empty, and it definitely did not fill up by the time we left, yet we were told without any explanation that we could not sit at a table other than the one the hostess sat us at. My friend, whose milestone birthday we were there celebrating, asked a server if her drink had a different type of alcohol in it than she ordered as it did not taste right to her. The server, instead of confirming that it was the correct order she made and asking if she would like something different, simply brought the drink back to our table saying, “it’s def Gin” and walked away. I have frequented this restaurant for lunch multiple times and have always had a good experience, but these two interactions left a bad taste in my mouth.

The Clam is wonderful. The Staff is outstanding & are very attentive from the moment you walk in. We were 2 couples. Oysters were delicious. I highly recommend the clam sliders so good. Spaghetti & clams were my next favorite. Artic Char was cooked to perfection (med rare as recommended by the chef). Anything that was shared was already split up on separate plate without asking. Joey’s restaurants never disappoint. Try them all!

Food is amazing if you like seafood, particularly clams. They forgot my drinks a couple of times but they took it off our bill

First time to the Clam and service was fab and all food delicious...we started with the Steamers (YUM!!!), then the clam pizza (YUM!!!!) then the fish of the day roasted whole with herbs (SO GOOD!), the lobster and fried clam sliders (I WILL BE BACK FOR THEM!!!) and garganelli pasta (YUM!!)

One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Fantastic oysters, amazing sides, wonderful dinner. The service is friendly and efficient. One of my favorite NYC restaurants!

Food and service couldn’t be better but noise level unreal. One patron obviously didn’t understand concept of “inside voice”. Would hesitate to return because of noise level which is a shame sine menu and staff are professional

Great service talked to us about our time in nyc. Made suggestions. Food was outstanding. Great place.
