“Walked into Claude on a Sunday night without a reservation and was lucky enough to get a seat at the bar. The hostess was incredibly welcoming and helped make it happen, which I especially appreciated knowing how much of a hotspot this place has become. Started with a glass of Champagne, which was a lovely way to settle in, and then went into the scallop skewers. They were beautifully cooked and served with a light, herbaceous oil that made for a really fresh start to the meal. Then came the red shrimp, done almost in the style of Spanish gambas al ajillo with olive oil and garlic. Truly incredible. Possibly the best shrimp I’ve ever had. The shrimp themselves were fantastic, but the garlicky oil might have been even better, especially soaked up with the bread. An absolute must-order. I would come back for this dish alone. For the main, I had the pork chop with smoked onion jus, along with the lettuces with parmesan. The pork was beautifully cooked, with a perfect balance of sweet, savory and smoky flavors. The simple greens alongside it were exactly what the meal needed. I’d heard a lot about Claude before coming in, and it completely lived up to the hype. Great food, warm service and the kind of place that already has me thinking about what I want to order next time. I’ll definitely be back, preferably with a larger group so I finally have an excuse to order the cake.”
