Clam Bar was absolutely oustanding. The staff are great and super excited to talk you through the best dishes and drinks from the menu to suit your interests. The coral trout was absolutely oustanding and so was the lobster pasta, probably the best lobster pasta i've ever had. Don't forget to order the vodka pasta side also that's incredible too. 10/10, value is definitely reflected in the quality of food.
