    Bone marrow and Escargot

    Anniversary dinner at 1799 last night was perfect! We got there a little early to enjoy cocktails at the bar. Sam, the bartender, made great drinks and we had a great time talking to him while we sat there. Katie, our server, was excellent! She was knowledgeable about the menu and very personable. The bread service was yummy. I loved the little cracker things. I could've eaten 100 of them. I had the bone marrow and escalator appetizer and my husband had the tuna. Both delicious! For dinner he had the lamb and I had the trout. We enjoyed them a lot. Desserts were ok. We would've preferred a crème brûlée or lava cake as the lemon cake and the canule (spelling?) didn't wow us. After dinner we returned to the bar and met some lovely people here for their wedding. Sam was on point again and really nice! The only con for me was the La Marca Prosecco. For such a high end restaurant I would expect a higher end Prosecco. The champagne I had with dinner I enjoyed. La Marca is a little sweet for me and has a weird after taste. Overall 10/10 highly recommend and would definitely go back!

    Doesn't disappoint. My husband and I were here last year and had a fabulous dinner. Came back this year for a weekend away and had a repeat experience. Love the Clifton. We arrived for our 7:15 pm reservation early and decided to have a drink before we sit down for dinner. John the bartender is an expert at his craft and super friendly. I remember him from our previous trip. For dinner we ordered the oysters. The jalapeño mignonette is miraculous! I could have eaten the oysters and would have been satisfied. For my entree, I ordered scallops, which were perfect. I love scallops and these were sweet and tender. So good. Since we stayed at the Clifton we also had breakfast. The eggs Benedict is super and they make a really good Bloody Mary.

    I have heard so many exciting things about the Clifton inn but was sadly disappointed. My friend and I were so pumped to try it out! We came for the Easter prix fixe brunch ($69 for 2 courses and a dessert buffet). Granted perhaps packed Easter Sunday brunch is not the best day for this restaurant to shine but still for that price we were expecting a lot more. We showed up early for our seat and the wait was long and chaotic for our reservation. That's fine we got a cocktail at the bar and waited it out (excellent cocktails and bar service btw) When we did get seated it took easily 15-20 minutes before a staff member appeared to fill our water glasses or take our order. Though they were super friendly when they did appear, they just seemed stretched pretty thin). For starters we had the cream of leek soup and the smoked salmon and roe over garlic pancakes. The smoked salmon was a creative idea but didn't have enough sauce resulting in a dry dish. The soup was yummy. For the mains is where we were disappointed. I got the braised lamb shank over manchego grits and artichokes. It was a sweaty fat riddled HUGE hunk of meat just plopped on top of a little mound of grits. My vegetarian friend got artichokes and snap peas over farro. The sauce was good but the farro practically raw. I will say the desert bar was the saving grace with four little options to choose from. So my props to the pastry chef. Of course the grounds are stunning. I'd like to return and give it a second chance but at those prices I'm wary.

    The historic building has beautiful vintage decor, with glamorous style when you enter the lobby. Welcoming staff to greet you. We had dinner on 12.29.21. Three course meal. The selections were delectable. We had pear and arugula salad and one of the egg dishes for small plates. All very tasty and fresh. For the main course we had a medium cooked NY strip steak with vegetables and sesame seed blackened tuna. Great presentation and delicious flavoring. Everything cooked perfectly. We cleaned our plates! Our server Carlos was on point with drinks and checking on us and food delivery. Very friendly and professional. Dessert was the pecan creme brulee and the pastry with pears (can't remember the name), both of which were superb. We had an enjoyable and memorable dinner. Thank you.

    We came here for my 50th Birthday meal and it was spectacular. First being greeted outside by the hostess was very special and since our table want ready yet they offered us complimentary drinks. The Old Fashion was very good but they had an even better drink made with blueberry moonshine that I should have gotten as it was really good! The meal was amazing and the service spectacular. We will definitely be going back.

    High end creative food with a not pretentious vibe. The miso maple salmon and the grilled pork chop…read morewith hominy and crimini shrooms are my fav mains. Multiple layers of flavor and all the right textures. Visually appealing on the plate as well. Solid cocktail list here. I'm a big fan that they go old school with a hot toddy. The applejack brandy added to that is a nice touch. Service is excellent here. Prices reasonable given the quality of the dishes. Will be back the next time I'm in town for sure.

    Walking up this place has great ambiance, perfect for a first date. The indoor seating was closed…read morebut the outdoor seating was great. The menu was quite promising. Ordered a cucumber chamomile gin and tonic, which left something to be desired. We started with the blackberry salad which on the menu said it also included avocado but there was none on the salad-despite this the salad was great. Our mains were good but not great. The biggest issue I found here was despite our server being very nice while ordering she NEVER checked in on us after anything arrived, never refilled waters either. So although she was nice the service was not good as there were times we wanted to order something else and one of the entrees didn't arrive as it was ordered but our server never checked in. All things considered I think I would only come here to grab a salad or appetizer.

    Intimate restaurant, in what feels like a restored barn, with absolutely amazing food…read more I came here with my fiance for valentines day, and we had a fantastic experience. Everything was to notch, from our very friendly and attentive server to all 3 courses of the pre-fix valentines day menu.

    Celebrated Valentine's Day here with my husband and it was EVERYTHING. We each chose something…read moredifferent and shared each dish. The restaurant was dark and moody creating a perfect romantic atmosphere. Our server was attentive and helpful. 1st course: Butter Poached Maine Lobster- melts in your mouth. Perfect consistency. The secret sauce made it perfect. The flavors were complex and I couldn't figure out what they put in it to make the sauce because they all blended so well. Roasted Maine Scallops: I have never cared for scallops. These had the best texture - the perfect amount of fluffy and firm. They were buttery and delicious. The capers topped on it added a little something extra without overwhelming the flavor of the scallop. 2nd course: Steak Chinois: steak was tender and cooked to perfection (went medium) the ginger sauce gave it so much flavor. The potato's were smooth and savory and melded well with the steak. The flavors combined complimented each other so well. Grilled Double Rack of Lamb: was very tender too. My first bite had too much red sauce and was a bit overwhelming after having just finished the steak chinois. However, I mixed with the potatoes and lightly dipped in red sauce and then the flavor was an explosion in my mouth. 3rd course: Vanilla crème brûlée with rasberries- literally perfect. Can't even put into words. You must get it. Bittersweet chocolate Brioche bread pudding -bread was warm, raspberries were cold, and pudding was an added extra. *chefs kiss.
