Our wait time was over an hour on a Thursday evening. We were told they don't take reservations,…read morebut then a family of six came in and got bumped ahead of everyone waiting, which was pretty frustrating. Once we were seated, our server Trish was quick to get our drink order and very friendly. The portions were generous and the food itself was excellent, it really seemed like everything was made from scratch. The wait was frustrating, but the food and service were both five stars.

What a charming little local establishment in the heart of downtown South Haven, but I need to…read moreagree with the overall average here. It was wonderful that they were able to accommodate us, as we were a party of 10 in peak season without a reservation. Our server was pleasant, but didn't seem to really understand the needs of the group at various times during the meal, and also appeared a bit overwhelmed in her section. Request had to be made several times, she didn't know the offerings or what was available, and it was often hard to get her attention. I looked at the photos before getting there and saw a lot of items I simply couldn't order, like the pizzas, which appeared to be made on a premade crust, and the chicken parm that featured a frozen breaded chicken patty vs a hand breaded cutlet. In fact, one member of our party ordered that and had to send it back. What did win were the breadsticks and marinara sauce. Both OBVIOUSLY made in-house and incredibly delicious. I ordered the lasagna and enjoyed it well enough. It was rich, hearty, and cheesy, but I wish it had more of the sausage filling and that the noodles weren't cooked so far that they were a bit mushy. The wine here was super affordable though, so if you're a fan of chianti, they've got a house bottle that's $23 while dining. The root beer menu was very fun too, but our server wasn't up on what was in stock and what wasn't, so we had to get up and check the cooler in between her visits because she seemed to keep forgetting, and then when the bottles requested did arrive, one was wrong. All in all, this experience wasn't great, but maybe I ordered wrong.

We tried to eat here last week and were told that we needed a reservation. The hostess was not very…read morefriendly at all, but for a party of 6, that is fair. So we went online and made a reservation for the following night. When we arrived, we were about 12 mins early and the same hostess was there. She asked if we had a reservation, we said yes but it was in 12 mins. She told us to leave and come back in 12 mins. The restaurant was not full and the table that we ended up sitting at was free the whole time. Another party next to us actually complained to their server about the hostess. Really unsure why she in the business of greeting guests... thinking a back of the house role may be better for her. Her being unfriendly and having an attitude causes unnecessary stress on a group of people that are just trying to have a nice dinner together. I will say that our waitress was very sweet and professional. The food was good and the wait time once we were seated was reasonable. The manager also stopped by to check in on us. I would definitely recommend eating here if you are in South Haven, as options are limited, just make sure you have a reservation first!

The food flavors were consistent and everything we ate was delicious The only reason for not giving them a full 5 star is because of the drinks. The 3 cocktails we had were the worst drinks we've ever had and the service wasn't either the best. Our waiter would come almost never unless we called him. But for sure a place I would recommend and come back to ( and just order a Coke for drinking with my delish food )

Clementine's seems like it stays pretty busy, on a Saturday for lunch, wait time about one hour,…read morebut it was nice they just text notified so you could spend the time shopping/walking around. The space is big and well-established. Service was efficient, but not overly friendly. I like that they had an activity sheet to keep the kids occupied. Food and drinks came out pretty quickly! My club with curly fries was delicious, but unfortunately a lot of pickles on the side that wasn't listed on the menu or mentioned (hate it when that happens as a pickle hater!). Nachos were delicious. Other opinions at the table: chicken tender breading was more fish-like and the chicken slid out of it - not very tasty. Chick and twist pasta was bland, no notable spice/flavor to the chicken and sauce congealed. The orange cream drink was a hit - tasted like an orange julius! Overall, okay experience, but food average.

My husbands steak that he ordered medium well came basically burnt and dry My fish dish was ok, nothing mind blowing. Our server didn't go over specials or anything , she seemed like she didn't want to actually work. ( I believed her name starts with an S but cant remember since she literally never came to check on us other than to bring the food ) Place is nice, big and with a lot of history If we ever come back we would def get the mushrooms and potentially just a burger.

It was well marbled, properly charred , and cooked at the right temp ! A winner. Unfortunately , it was an expensive experience with a big price tag. Stay away from the double baked potato - it came highly recommended by the server. Go to the baked potato where you decide the taste. Coming from a Chicagoland dinning experience , I thought the ambiance was steakhouse appropriate . Not your Southwest dinner experience - very upscale . Our server was excellent - she did an excellent job describing the various cuts of meat and various preparations. She was always available when we needed attention . Give it a try I think you will like the steak - just be prepared for budget breaker steakhouse meal.

We are currently seating (well we just left) the restaurant a few hours ago…read more The workings don't seem to want to even be here. They all have long faces, but maybe one, she isn't our waitress. The waitress acted put out to even wait on us. The hostess had a long face too. When we left she said have a good evening! When we ordered our order we asked for salads. She asked do you want them to come out before the dinner. We replied yes, they came out when our dinner came to the table. The croutons were soggy, salad and just okay. We told her we would want a glass of wine with our dinner too, she forgot that too and didn't even mention it at all. We didn't have a chance to order one, because she never came back to check on us. We asked for a non-toasted bun for my eight year-old's burger.That came out well toasted! When we asked for a different bun, she( the waitress ) actually rolled her eyes, my mom whom very rarely comments, said that was completely unacceptable . The waitress name was Density, I believe because we heard the fun crowd behind us on a high table.They were laughing too, because they got up to get their bread. When the waitress came over to get some to go boxes. I asked her if bread was part of the meal. She said yes, would you like some. We were already finished with our meal and paying for our dinner. The waitress let us know that the cold chocolate cake was on the house, to funny! The entire experience was a trip!!! We ordered our drinks when we sat down. They took over 15 minutes., I wasn't timing the drink time, however I ended up inquiring about our drinks with the bartender. He was the manager too. I I motion for the manager/bar tender over to our table. I just said wanted to let him know about our experience. That the drinks were never even put into the system and he had no idea. He was WAY too busy chatting it up with a few locals at the bar to even care about his customers. Plus it was hard to not see how completely trashed the bar looked. The bartender/manager name is Jeremy. He was a trip in so many ways! He seemed all jacked up on something or maybe just has really bad ADHD. I get it, ADHD isn't easy to deal with at all. Either way, his lack professionalism and non-awareness was going on around him and others dining was completely unacceptable. If I was the owner, I'd be really upset. The lighting in the place was beautiful! I work in the service industry, so I know how some days can be off. I do hair and my moto is, if you can't make it then you fake it! I just can't believe the service as a high end restaurant as they describe via online as a high-end-steak place. I read the last few reviews, I don't read reviews because we all have our own experiences. Believe me when I say this about the place and so do the last several guests. The steak was good, we had the filet. The baked potato was dry and under cooked, horrible! My daughter's burger was just okay, it was over cooked too, but we didn't complain at all about the food. My mom and I both smiled when she asked about 20 minutes after getting our food, how does it taste. She forgot about my mom ordering some onion and she forgot about the salt and pepper. Well to close it out, we are BIG tippers and we didn't leave her much at all, but it was in cash. Our tips are normally 25-20:/: cash tip always, but not tonight. Sorry.:/ This place needs some serious help, whom ever owns this place needs to have a lot more awareness. Ps the bathroom had over flowing trash too. Just visiting on a mother, daughter and granddaughter vacation. We love South Haven! I would suggest Clementine's for food, fun and amazing service! More places too!:))) Think before you book a reservation!
