My recent stop at this restaurant was purely spontaneous, but it turned out to be a fantastic choice right along my route. From the moment I walked in, the experience was great, defined by genuinely top-notch food and service. The quality of the main dish was outstanding. I ordered the Veal, and it was perfectly prepared—incredibly tender and wonderfully well-balanced in flavor. This is definitely a spot that takes pride in its cuisine. What truly elevated the meal was the service. A huge thank you to the waitress, Hazer, who was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, friendly, and made the entire visit smooth and enjoyable. If you are looking for an excellent dining experience, I highly recommend making a stop here.

i will chalk this one up to a bad night for the restaurant. We have had really good experiences in the past and love having this place in our town. Saturday night reservation for 6:30, 3 people and the first thing we are told is that they are out of the New York Strip and the Tomahawk steak...both signature dishes and exactly what we had gone there for. Someone clearly was off their game when they were ordering food for the weekend. We settled on the Delmonico and the Filet instead as well as the pasta with lobster. When the food came the Delmonico was overcooked, The Filet was undercooked and the pasta portion was TINY! We noticed that another table was sending it's overcooked steak back too. There were lots of other foibles that aren't worth mentioning but all in all is was a really disappointing experience for an evening we were all looking forward to. Even the best restaurants can fumble sometimes but this was an all out nose dive.

Excellent on all criteria! Dinner for seven on a Friday night can be challenging. We were ALL delighted with Nataz in Clinton! Our server, Carl, was totally attentive, informative...and fun! The fixed price format covers a board of 'nibbles', bread, salad, entre, and dessert. All were generous and satisfying! The entres we ordered included the house signature Heavenly, a seafood Zuppa, large lamb chop lollipops, filet mignon, and a Braised Pot - All excellent! For two of us the portions called for take-home in lovely insulated bags! The desserts we chose included tiramisu, coconut custard tart and NY cheesecake - delicious and generous portions (there were no sorbet or ice cream options). Note: there were three interesting vegetarian offerings! While we have eaten at the Nataz restaurants in North Branford and Southington, this was our first time at Clinton. The space is in an old bank building - two levels. The main floor has an open bar and visible food preparation, while the upstairs is a loft that looks down on the lower level. The original arched windows of the bank add to the atmosphere. The bill is a bit pricey but absolutely worth it! Note: there is an automatic 20% 'service charge' which is clear on the menu and Carl also reminded us up front. Parking on the adjacent street is limited, but there are ground lots nearby - both free. Great spot - recommend it unconditionally!

We have been here often but went last night to try the Adventures in Eating menu and it was fantastic! I thought it would be a tasting menu with samples of dishes brought out but they were all full portions and by the time our entrees came we were so full we could only barely touch them and ending up taking them home. The food was so delicious and the staff of Heather, Michael and Tyler were the best!

This is the third time that we have been there and been impressed each visit. The food is great. They were down some staff so the service was a little slow, but Tyler did a great job.

We love this restaurant! We live on Long Island and choose to come to Clinton just to go to Nataz. We wish they would open a LI location :) the best food, service and we love that we are dining in an old historic bank! Their pre fix menu is top notch and so affordable. Definitely try Nataz if you are in the area.

Nataz is our favorite restaurant! We live on LI but travel to Clinton for pleasure and always make a plan to have dinner there. The food, service and price plan never disappoints! We will see you again soon!
The food was exceptional I had the Delmonico steak and it was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The service was exceptional. This was my first time at this restaurant and I will definitely be going back.

Unbelievable experience! Service was unparalleled from the moment we walked in. Tyler and Heather were thee best Server / Manager combo ever. The food was insanely good. The wedge salad was one of the best I’ve ever had. I went with a Swordfish Special that was unbelievable. And the tiramisu was heavenly. 5 Stars without question! TY!!

Excellent food and service. Large menu with many choices. Very good price for a 4 course menu. Great ambiance, with tables spaced a good distance apart. We have been to Nataz many times, and have always been very impressed. Highly recommended.

We always choose to go to Nataz for major celebrations - and it was no different last night. We can count on a delicious meal and great service in a warm and pleasing atmosphere. Their menu is extensive, especially for a prix fixe meal and always includes a choice of salads and desserts. They now also have a full bar. We will continue to celebrate life's special events at Nataz.
