Fancy delicious food and homemade original desserts. Great full wall windows/garage doors that open and open deck.

Fussy menu listing Odd food combinations. Very very salty food. Industrial design with cement floors cause high noise atmosphere. Elderly or hearing impaired will have difficulty with conversation due to high noise inside eating area. Servers were kind, efficient and attentive.

I was in a group of 8 and we went here before prom. It was an average Saturday night yet, we waited 30 minutes before we were served water or even asked our drink and food orders. Then, we waited an additional hour before our food arrived. We were in a time crunch and we had to ask twice about our food before someone came over and spoke to us. We ordered mainly appetizers and one pasta dish, which was cold. For the price, the service and quality of food is not worth it.

At a very special wedding in an upstairs room. We had Pete as our server and he and the staff hit it out of the ballpark!

After hearing so many glowing reviews about Clarke Lewis, I had high hopes for a memorable evening. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations.

The evening started with cocktails, which were, frankly, poorly made. The balance of flavors was completely off, my whiskey sour was creamy and my wife’s dirty martini tasted like salt water.

When the food arrived, things didn’t improve much. I ordered my steak medium, but it came out rare — a basic mistake that’s hard to overlook at a restaurant that prides itself on quality.

Service was also lacking. Our server seemed inattentive and disinterested, providing minimal engagement and making the overall experience feel even more underwhelming.

Given the strong reputation Clarke Lewis has, I expected a lot more. Sadly, it was a disappointing night and not one I’d be eager to repeat.

Peter took care of our group (22 people) throughout the evening and he was spectacular. He added so much to our family wedding event! Along with the service, the atmosphere of the room and the food was all wonderful. I will definitely revisit Clarklewis.

Ate with you twice this week. The original review submitted thought was Wednesday. Tuesday was actually very good and nice wait service ... this review here is also from wednesday experience.

Have dined probably 12 times ... usually excellent ... last night experience with service was a miss... chased to place food order and food was delivered... star of the night was bus person who filled water regularly. Waiter was MIA

Zack took excellent care of us. The restaurant was very cozy when more people arrive and the sun set.

Unique architecture provides the perfect ambiance. The food was fantastic and a good value. The service was great and we had a great conversation with the manager and owner. On site free parking to round up a great experience

Food was excellent except the scallops were cold. We told the waiter we were going to a comedy show, but our entrées came late; well, after other tables who sat after us. great if you have lots of time and patience...

It had been a few years since I had been to Clarklewis and I last remember not being impressed. However total review rating prompted me to try again. My experience last week confirmed previous experience. I had a green salad that was fabulous however the scallops I had were not fresh, a little mushy and not cooked enough. The final down note was the cost. Very high priced for the quality of the food. Sorry to say I'm not going back.

Really nice environment, good staff., solid wine menu. The price for the food items was not commensurate with the value. Maybe due to the special Valentine's menu, but $75 ribeyes? 10% service charge on top? Would have no problem with spending this if I chose a premium steakhouse... but this wasn't even close. From quality to cook. Hate to write this because I had high hopes. Will look for better value elsewhere.

Service was okay. Food was overpriced. The fact that they add additional 10% to the cost and expect more tip is ridiculous. They should adjust the price on the menu.

We had our Company group dinner at Clarklewis Restaurant and had an amazing dinner experience last night!

Pete our server was amazing and so well organized in handling our event. He handled us with kindness, patience, and super fast with getting us our beverages and food out .

Warren, super friendly with assisting us last night with our last minute billing requests and for making sure we were taken care of.
I wish i got to take pictures of our food was so good and you could taste the love.

Everyone loved having the private room and enjoyed the delicious food; we can't wait to be back!
