    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

    The ClamResponded on March 3, 2023Dear 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.

    Lunch was OK - good but not great. Based on other reviews, I was expecting more…. I was entertaining an out-of-town business colleague, and now wish I had taken her to a restaurant that I have been to before - and know. But will I go back to The Clam > yes!! Clam Chowder was good, and there are several other items on the menu that I would like to try in the future! If you are looking for a casual, neighborhood restaurant, The Clam is a solid choice.

    The ClamResponded on February 4, 2023Dear Lisa, First of all, I would like to thank you for taking the time to write such a thorough review.

    The food was excellent as was the service. The clam chowder was nicely creamy with a lot of clam chunks with a nice crunch with the crackers in it and salted just right (not too salty). The clam and lobster sliders were a perfect combination of taste and texture with each bite. Each time I have been here to eat the same has been true. I have been able to rely upon the scrumptious meal to be gotten as can be attested to by my lunch companion in his first time eating at The Clam.

    From start to finish our evening at The Clam delighted us. I indicated on the reservation that it was my husband’s birthday. As soon as we were seated and settled, our waiter Pierre appeared with two glasses of champagne, compliments of the restaurant . What a classy move! Pierre timed our courses perfectly and each was delicious, bursting with flavor, and presented beautifully. We ordered dessert and Pierre brought out a second birthday dessert to cap off our celebration! The Clam is a beautiful restaurant, serving amazing food and cocktails (I almost forgot to mention my jalapeño infused tequila delight!) , with staff who are courteous, personable, and aiming to make your experience a special one. Just an excellent dining spot!

    Ordered the peach and burrata salad. Was delish. My lunch mate and I both ordered the crispy tacos which was dry with no taste. Very disappointing. My negative review is mostly regarding the service. The waiter barely tolerated our presence and seemed annoyed to serve us. We were one of three parties having lunch on a Wednesday so he wasn't busy. Just unfriendly. He spoiled the experience for me.

    The ClamResponded on August 24, 2022Dear Antonia, First of all I would like to thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am terribly sorry the service was so inattentive, I assure you this is not the way to operate here at The Clam. I have already passed your comments about the Tacos to our Executive Chef. I would love to have the opportunity to turn your experience around, and offer you a round of drinks during your next visit to The Clam. Sincerely, Gerardo Tiscareño Castro General Manager
