    Only few tables at the same time and still didn’t get anyone to come around. We had to go up every time to ask for water, other drinks, even to come around to take our order. After we finished our food, plates were never removed, we were there for an hour and 20 mins waiting to order dessert, it didn’t happen. When we kind of suggested to split the bill the waitress rolled her eyes at us and said with a bad enough tone: seriously??? Awful service. Definitely won’t recommend it and won’t repeat.

    Went in for my birthday dinner, they had balloons on the table when we arrived, which was a lovely touch! Erin was our waitress and she was absolutely incredible, next level customer service! Food was amazing! Can not recommend The Clink enough

    Food was very nice. Staff were also very nice but potentially under staffed as sometimes slow or had to ask for things multiple times. Staff were great with kids and took the time to talk to everyone. Great setting and would definitely go back again.

    The restaurant did not have our reservation from Open Table so we had to sit in the kitchen. We could not even have a conversation over the noise level (normal level for a kitchen). We went there to enjoy the look of the old prison, but we did not get see any of it. The food was good, not great, I’m assuming the price is for the beauty of the restaurant, which we did not get to enjoy. The hard wood chairs we sat in started to hurt after a while so we sat on our coats. We ordered the charcuterie board which was filling, but basic, and we split a cod dish, which was good. We had two drinks during dinner and then each ordered another to walk around the main room of the hotel where a company party was taking place. Total bill $300. Our waiter was amazing however!

    We were a table of seven and we were all very happy with the food and the service and the atmosphere. The food was lovely, very fresh. Everyone at the table was very happy. We were part of a graduation. We arrived earlier than our reservation and we were accommodated it was very nice.
