Outstanding, as usual, McCloone’s in Pier Village is a local favorite. Quieter this time of year, the menu and service never fail to please. Gail was a fabulous server — she’s been with the organization for 29 years! Highly recommend for locals and visitors alike.

Great experience, food was excellent as was the service. My wife had a filet mignon that was cooked to perfection. I had the linguine with Shrimp and clams that was fantastic. The hostess and waiter were friendly and very attentive. 10 out of 10

Food was good, had to send the mussels fra diavlo appetizer back because they smelled like they were bad. I got a different appetizer in it's place and it was much better. Food portion was smaller than expected for the price. I ordered the surf and turf and the lobster tail was very small and chewy but the filet mignon was great. It was NYE so very busy as expected, so service was very slow. I'm sure it would be better on a regular day. The decor and the atmosphere were very nice and festive. They even gave out hats, tiara's, and noise makers which was nice as well. Overall I enjoyed the experience. I just feel that for the price the portions could've been bigger. Also, on their NYE special menu I ordered stuffed clams appetizer and waited almost 30 mins for them to tell me they ran out. Given the busy holiday it's understandable but to wait that long to find out then get another one that smelled bad was the only negative thing. I would return just not on a busy holiday.
