The Clam is a cozy West Village restaurant that serves thoughtful, Atlantic-inspired seafood in a simple, unpretentious space. The atmosphere is charming and relaxed, making it a nice place for a casual meal. The restaurant offers a lunch special of clam chowder and a lobster/clam slider, which is fantastic. The raw clams are highly recommended for their freshness and presentation. The seafood platter includes shrimp, quinoa, and spinach; the shrimp was praised, while the quinoa and spinach received mixed reviews. The specials are reasonably priced, and the Parker roll was found to be small and dense.
The outdoor seating, decorated with vibrant flowers, is perfect for sunny days. The restaurant is known for its excellent food, great wine options, and friendly service. The grilled black sea bass with snow peas, shiitakes, Aleppo pepper, and miso emulsion was light and flavorful. Even the mocktails, like the pineapple, cucumber, ginger, and lemon spritz, were praised for their refreshing taste. Service is friendly and flexible, with staff happy to help and chat. The dining room is tastefully decorated, creating a pleasant environment. Overall, The Clam is a great spot for seafood lovers looking for fresh, flavorful dishes in a cozy setting.
