   The lavender cocktail was perfect and all the shared plates delicious. I asked for one of the cozy sofa seats and got what I requested. I’m guest was so impressed!

   It was our second time there; we sat at the bar and had wine, a martini, and a charcuterie board perfect! the service, the food, the ambience was all that you would expect from a top-notch, fine dining establishment. And the blue cheese stuffed olives made the martini even more special. We are becoming regulars.

   The weakest element of this restaurant is the value, but that is not a major knock on the place since the ambience, service, food, and location were all well above average. I believe the manager or owner was there walking around asking about how the food and service were. Overall I think this place competes successfully with restaurants like Postero, Brandy's, and Verri's.

   We had a terrific experience at The Claywood. Went on Wednesday evening, BBQ night. The pulled pork was excellent, as were the sides of Mac and cheese and greens. Great service and ambiance, too. We’ll be back!

   Unfortunately, the service was nonexistent. One of our meals came raw. Lots of potential great location.

   First time at this restaurant and had read the wonderful reviews. Food and service live up to the hype and the ambience is somewhere between "cool" vibes and candlelit relaxation. Our server was knowledgeable and helpful and she did not rush us when we asked for a few extra minutes to make our decisions. The cocktail menu is overwhelming with it's great choices. Our appetizers, which included deviled eggs and pork belly, were superb. I normally don't care for gnocchi, but ordered it because of the fresh asparagus, peas and leeks. The gnocchi were little pillows of lightness and the lemon cream sauce was subtle and delicious! All in all, I will definitely go back to try more of their heavenly food! I know, I am gushing, but it's hard to find a restaurant in this area with food that sophisticated.
