In a casual yet elegant atmosphere, set in a recently remodelled century old historic train station, Claire's passion is great food and outstanding service. Offering contemporary American cuisine - local, seasonally focused - with a Southern flaire. The renovation honors the historic character of the Warrenton Train Depot, resulting in a warm, comfortable environment for casual meetings with friends, or special occasions and intimate family meals. The warm, elegant Garden Room provides seating for intimate meals, while the Tavern Room features a more casual dining experience in luxurious surroundings. A rotating selection of craft beers is available on tap, and the wine service is regularly expanded. Outdoor dining is available in season, and private events can be hosted in one of several areas in the restaurant. Awarded "Best of Warrenton" every year since 2006.

    Wonderful service from Brandy. The starter salad we shared was delicious. My crab cakes were scrumptious. My wife’s filet was practically rare vs. medium. Re-fired but by time it came back to table I was done with my entree and my wife’s truffle fries were stone cold. Had kitchen issues last time we dined here. Another table nearby also had a kitchen issue. Wonderful atmosphere but was loud as one guy talked incessantly at a high volume. Wine list needs improvement.

    Shrimp Cobb Salad was delicious, even though the plate had an over-abundance of lettuce. Bread pudding desert was great but discovered a hair in the desert which caused me to cease eating. Garden Room is a great setting. Wait service is excellent. Parking is generally a nightmare.

    Was there for lunch on a snowy day and the burning fireplaces made it so cozy. The she crab soup was fantastic and a must have for me. Had the quiche of the day and it was delicious but so large I had to take part of it home. I have never been disappointed at Clare’s..from service, ambience and the food it is always top notch.
