   Fantastic place for lunch. Great menu and the food is always cooked perfectly. They absolutely nail medium rare on the steaks. Decent value and the wine selections by the glass are excellent. Crowd is business lunchers during the day.

   With a simple yet lovely food, especially the sides (corn and Gruyère or beef fat potatoes anyone?!), I felt was let down by a distinct lack of lighting and quite abrupt service staff who kept on wanting us to rush out.

   The food and service were outstanding, we had the anchovies on toast, garlic prawns, wagyu cheeseburger, corn and gruyère gratin, and crème brûlée and it was all faultless. Ambience was great as well. It’s obviously not cheap - it’s great food and a great spot- but what it is is great value. Will definitely be back!

   The seafood is at its best, prepared to respect and compliment and not overpower. Great choice of share plates. Staff are courteous, friendly, helpful and attentive.

    After a fantastic experience at Pellegrino 2000, we were eager to try Clam Bar, and it certainly made a strong first impression. The location is excellent, and the restaurant exudes an undeniably upscale and sophisticated atmosphere, complemented by a lively buzz. The service was also a definite plus, with staff being both friendly and attentive. Regrettably, the culinary experience didn't quite reach the same heights. While the New York strip was acceptable, it lacked a certain finesse. The Clam pasta and Lobster pasta were enjoyable enough, but didn't offer any truly exceptional flavors. Similarly, the desserts were unremarkable. Ultimately, while Clam Bar offers a pleasant setting and good service, the food fell short of being truly memorable or delivering the "wow" factor we anticipated, especially given the restaurant's upmarket feel and what we expect were premium prices. We left feeling that the meal was adequate, but not the exceptional dining experience we had hoped for.
