New American Restaurants near Clinton, NY

“Not sure how we spent 4 years in the Utica area and never found Clinton and Nola’s. Had dinner tonight and everything was great. Excellent food, great service, really nice small town square to take a little walk. We will be back for sure!“

“Let’s start with the food… nothing short of AMAZING. We got an array of food, chicken, veal, pasta, shrimp, calamari. The portion sizes are UNREAL. Enough for at least two meals after you eat. Now our waitress Brenda. She is everything a waitress should be and MORE. Unbelievable people skills. She made us feel like family, like we’ve known her forever. She was absolutely INCREDIBLE!❤️ we’ll be back for sure!“

“Fantastic fish fry! I seldom get a Gluten free fish fry.“

“Five Points offers the perfect blend of vibrant energy, delicious cuisine, and top-tier hospitality. We've worked with Dan and the Five Points team on multiple events - each time has been effortless and fun. Dan is responsive, attentive, and truly dedicated to making each celebration feel personalized and stress-free. Whether you’re hosting a private event or just grabbing dinner with friends, Five Points nails it every time😍✨“

“We have eaten in twice, and done takeout once, recently, and all three experiences were excellent. Our waitress/ cook was welcoming and attentive. Pizza was cooked perfectly, with ample toppings. We tried different flavors of wings each time, and the favorites were Everything, Sweet n’ Spicy, and Honey Barbecue. Highly recommend! We will be back soon!“

“Great food and excellent rotating beer selection. Always friendly to both new and old customers.“

“We recently held a dinner at 411 Tower to award deserving WCS graduates Brothertown Scholarshios. Michael’s served the most delicious meal. We couldn’t have been more pleased with both the food and fast, efficient service. Many thanks to Michael and his staff.“

“We had my grandmothers funeral service this past Monday and Michael T’s was able to open up afterwards for our reception. The food was great. The server was amazing. The owner is awesome. They also catered my wedding 9 years ago. Really great place. I recommend them to everyone!“

“We had the fish Fry with macaroni and cheese. Salad bar had lettuce, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onions, croutons, black olives. Plus, coleslaw, cottage cheese, crab salad and soup. Bread with dinner. Lightly breaded fish, cooked to perfection. All was very good!! (We were too full for dessert.☹)“

“Peter's Cornucopia is the absolute go-to grocery store, assuming you actually care about what you put into your body. Though it is predictably more expensive than your average corporate chain—expect to pay about 5-10% more—the quality is far superior. The eggs, milk, and 100% organic produce here are fresh.

To be fair, I still buy my standard packaged products elsewhere purely because it makes sense to save money on mass-produced items. But for the fresh essentials, the investment here is completely worth it if your health is a priority. Also, make sure to check out their cafe counter for the grab-and-go options; their sourdough bread and fresh baked items are incredible.

Ultimately, if you are going to complain about the prices of real ingredients while contentedly living on fast trash food, then I would suggest you save yourself the trip and just shop at Walmart. You won't truly appreciate this place anyway. But for anyone actively seeking out genuine food over processed garbage, this place is an absolute haven.

Don't get me wrong, the store isn't perfect, but it is about as close as it gets. In my experience, this is the premier health-conscious store in the region, with its only real competition being Green Planet Grocery over an hour west, in Fairmount.“

Came in, right at Closing…… they not only welcomed us, but presented us with a spirit and warmth that’s often missing in food establishments today!!! Both our selections, Tuna Poke Fire and Greek Chicken Quinoa were Fresh, Full portioned and presented with friendliness and smiles!!!!
Thank you Everyone!!

Impressive! Upon entering this well-loved eatery, standing in a line almost out the door, I started my order no more than 7 minutes later! Upon looking back, I see a new line out to the door, yet the (4) front staff continue to be the most Professional servers an establishment can ask for! Professional, Polite and Productive! The food was likewise Fresh, Delicious and Healthy! Our hats off to this establishment, and especially the front staff professionals serving patrons all evening long!!“
