    Lovely relaxing lunch at the Clinton House! My choice of martini was not available but I was able to do an Aperol spritzer which was great. The appetizer was delicious - grilled shrimp - but the Reuben sandwich was just okay. I think they toasted the bread instead of grilled it and it was kind of crunchy. Tasty - but crunchy. My friend had what she said was a delicious hamburger. The ambience was quiet and relaxing for a great reunion lunch! Love coming here.

    We had another exceptional dinner at the Clinton House! Our server (Luigi) was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is wonderful! The menu offers many delicious options. They were definitely short-staffed, and our poor server was working hard to get to all his tables! Thank you again, and we look forward to returning soon!

    The lamb shank was very well prepared and quite enjoyable; my friend had the same as well and thought as I. My starter of the sea bass was also very nice.

    Large menu with awesome selections of seafood, sandwiches, burgers, wine pairings. The French Dip was giganitic with a housemade horseradish spread, crispy steak fries. The Eggplant rollitini was good, but as an Italian who makes sauce - it had a bit too much sweetness to it - would order as an appetizer next time to share.
