The Claremont Tavern Reviews
The food is always consistent! Best pub around!
Came in with a party of 4, asked if we could sit at an empty table in the bar. The hostess said no which was fine but then added that “she was the owner and it as her prerogative“. We never asked why so not sure she had to be obnoxious about it. The wait staff and bartenders were always great over the last 13 years but I won’t be back.
Owner was VERY rude when I asked why the table in the bar had a reserve sign on it when I called and was told they don’t take reservations. We were 4 she said its a table for 5 and its my prerogative to hold it because I’m the owner…in the most condescending tone! We left of course and will never go back! Nor should you! No parking either!
