    Very pleasant and good food, nice quality, and quiet place to sit down and eat.  The skillet was very hot  and delicious.
    Jasper

    This is a nice Restaurant with beautiful people and delicious food, Definitely. More food for the money, I love the flavored Belgian waffles, the steak skillet that is always served hot and juicy and every time I'm there I always have to get to go back because I can't finish the rest of it. Wonde. Rful place that has it right when it comes to brunch , mid- noon breakfast .

    My family and friends have raved about this place for years!!! It was Sunday and our first picks were packed, so family suggested this location. I was excited as I've never been to Cuatlatl's before. First thoughts: inside seemed a bit depressing, like an old diner mixed with Waffle House. Maybe it's the 80's Betty Crocker like pictures of food on the wall, or the Terracotta colored walls with dark brown blinds. Service: The waitress was very sweet! I didn't catch her name. The food did take quite a long time to come out for 3 people, but we are patient and in good company. Food: Horrid. I really really really want to give it much higher ratings but all of our food tasted off. One person in my group's meal was cold. They were so incredibly bummed with the entire meal. Getting biscuits and gravy, it tasted sweet in a strange way. Bacon reminded me of Burger King where they heat it up and keep it in a pan. Didn't taste fresh. The hashbrowns were so bad. The pancakes had an off taste too. It seems like they used really old rancid grease or didn't clean off the grill/griddle. My food was barely warm but once it was cold, the gross flavors really came out. I truly don't like complaining but all 3 of us were highly disappointed. Our dishes were definitely send-it-back. I may try it again in the future, but it will be last place in my book. Wanted so badly to like it. Give it a try though, maybe it was just an off experience for us.

    They have some of the best breakfast platters in Clinton IA. I gladly stop in at least once a week. Awesome service, food, and ambient.

    This place is a hidden gem, and I can't figure out why they're not packed all the time.

    Okay so hear me out, I cannot stay away from this spot when in Clinton! Their soups have me coming…read moreback for more over and over. I was informed their beef & cabbage soup is the special on every Wednesday, and when I tried it... oh, I might have to make this my normal Wednesday routine! I love the service here too. Everyone is so friendly, it really feels like you're dining with family.

    Nice dining area, friendly people and very good service. Not real busy for weekday morning about 8…read morea.m. but a few other diners. A two egg omelet isn't that large but it was part of the breakfast special so it is what it is. The onions are peppers were too large, those should be prepped smaller in our opinion. Not much cheese at all. The American potatoes were good. The biscuit and gravy was sort of good, it's like a milk gravy. The biscuits were good. The problem is you expect like sausage gravy or something for some taste and flavor, there really was none. Came straight out of the kitchen and it was basically cold. Then came the pancakes, whoa! I couldn't figure out where the odd taste was coming from. Without saying anything I asked my wife to try a bite. She then had a strange look on her face. Thought it couldn't be from the whipped butter, syrup maybe? No, then we each tried a bite from a pancake with nothing on it. Whatever the odd taste was it was in the pancake. Couldn't quite place the taste, some added flavoring.....whatever it was it wasn't good. Served one container of whipped butter which is only enough for one pancake. Didn't matter as it turned out. We might try them again for lunch but we won't be back again for breakfast. Sorry, but it just didn't work for us.

She had a great memory giving us refills on drinks and our correct orders. She also took care of us with a smile. We were not her only customers I am sure but we could not tell that by the service we received! Way to go Kelly!

    Mother's Day Brunch Bust. Cant rate food or atmosphere…read morebecause we didnt get to eat & left. Setvice at the front desk was horrible. This past Wednesday I called Rastrelli's Restaurant @ the number listed in a post to make a reservation to treat my loving amazing wife to a delicious Sunday brunch to celebrate her. Instead, we were met with incompetence, poor customer service & a general unwillingness to accommodate customers (1 being a mother on Mother's Day). At first 4 frazzled greeters in black shirts could not find our reservation. Of course. The first question from the staff was when the reservation could not be located was "Did somebody call you later to confirm your reservation?" (What???? Who does that??? Isn't that what the reservation is all about???) The staff asked if somebody took down my name & number. I assured them that this happened. I added that the person even reiterated what I had told them; repeating my 1st & last name, phone number & the time for our reservation. I even showed my call log to show the time I called & to prove that nobody ever called me back. I also stated that at no point in the conversation, did the staff person say anything about anybody calling me back to confirm my reservation. During this 15-20 minute fiasco, we sat & watched the staff greet & seat numerous other parties w/ 2-3 X as many people as our party of 3. Finally the staff involved a 5th person in a red shirt who thankfully found the original call log that contained my information proving that I did in fact call in for 3 people on 05/10/26 @ 11:00 am. The staff told us that there were no tables available as we did not have a reservation, because somebody did not transfer my name from the call in list to the reservation list. As this was going on, 3 people came to the counter, paid their bill and left. I asked "Those 3 people are leaving. Why can't you just give us their table?" Again, we were told we didn't have a reservation even though they did find our name on the reservation call in log. All this went on for 30 minutes with the staff displaying a profound rigidness stating, We cant seat you....Our reservations are booked in a time specific manner......there is no wiggle room. No effort was ever made by these 5 staff members to provide any assistance, accommodation or resolution. At this point frustration set in & we left. So thanks for nothing Rastrelli's. It will be a long time before we ever go out of our way or even stop in for a meal at this establishment.
