    Expect a u-shaped bar, finished in sleek wood. Full menu - http://goo.gl/o1lw2 . The dining room takes inspiration from the luxe train car from the golden age of railroads - the Orient Express Read more

    The Clarkson has been open for a half a minute so ignore the service comments. Bar service was friendly, great selection and ambiance. Shaved Brussels sprout salad and tartare deviled eggs!

    Second time here. Arguably some of best cocktails in city. We've had nothing but great service and amazing sound system.

    Excellent service and the starters are all really tasty. Highly recommend the pork belly and deviled steak tartare!

    I've only sat at the bar so service reviews must be for table service. Bartenders always very attentive and food comes promptly. Really like the "bunny sandwich". (My name, not theirs)

    Mix of influences. Try the specials. The flatbread special and the pasta special were yummy.

    A bartender who meticulously measures the alcohol and ingredients of his drinks is either micromanaged or a bad mixologist.

    Bartender was pouring generous portions of Macallen, and when I downgraded to Jameson rocks, the pour was huge.

    You're new, and seem to draw a heavily female clientele - please add hooks under the bar for purses, etc..!

    Brunch for lunch is a nice option but I highly recommend the potato wedges.

    Went with a large group on a Saturday afternoon and it was completely empty. Waitress was very accommodating, truly exceeding all expectations. The drinks did the trick, the apps were nothing special

    Cool space. A bit pricey. Good for a business lunch.

    Comedy of errors trying to order a drink and then told the drink menu was for tomorrow and then getting the original drink anyway. Turkey sandwich had no taste. Creme brûlée didn't have a hard shell

    The sparkling water, made in-house, is just perfect—just the right level of bubbles.

    Small plates, kinda pricey and not very tasty. Also the staff is kind of snooty. The place is empty most of the time and they'll still pretend like it's super full, making you wait for a table. #worst

    Seafood is good, service is slow, beer is cold and just what you need.

    Hotel crowd. Cocky bartenders. Lots of space. Not worth the trip. Guaranteed to have a quiet night. Older scene.

    At 1 am this place had a dj behind the bar and not a single customer. Bartenders will ask you to "calm down" if they hear you swear. This place is just awkward...

    Probably give them time to work out the food kinks. Couple next to me had to ask about their food, which the manager bought, so that was good, but the reviews seem to indicate food service is poor.

    good: pretty space. bad: slow service despite nearly empty restaurant on a saturday night; ridiculously snotty hosts. ugly: overpriced, mediocre food and drinks. NOPE.

    Menu not impressive. Everything is overpriced, including the drinks. $18 for a 12 year Macallan? Get the fuck out of here!
