    Repeat customers. Traditional and American. Food and service are pricey but very good. The Tiramisu (Luigis’) is a Must Get.

    The bread was awful and the restaurant a little pricey since everything is ala carte the baked seafood was delicious and the filet was cooked perfectly but again the bread was awful and to charge for bread is ridiculous when paying ala carte

    Food was delicious! I had the honor of Kara waiting on me. She was superbly attentive and accommodating. She only works occasionally since having her baby. I hope she could work more often since she is one of my favorite waitresses. I want to also commend Manager Chrissy and Hostess Dee for a job well done. I appreciate them treating me like royalty!

    I was very disappointed was here last year it was wonderful. My boyfriend's prime rib was all fat he should have returned it. I loved the Beef Wellington last time. This time, it was dry and not as good. The bread and butter was the highlight. Unfortunately, I will not return or recommend.

    Service was top notch. Filet was ordered medium rare, was served medium. Three of us ordered this and got the same temp. But overall very enjoyable and a nice night out.

    We visited Clinton House for my husband’s birthday today. The service was very good, the ambience was awesome, the food was excellent, although we wish it could be a little less pricey but excellent none the less. The only small negative thing is our baguette was a bit over toasted. We will come back because the other items were excellent.
