From Courtney's review
Mar 11, 2026
So my best friend and I decided to head downtown to try out the Cleverman we had heard great things about it and so we were very excited to try it. But I did like about this place that the parking wasn't tragic. Yes you do have to be thankful but we were able to find on on street parking pretty easily and I'm a girlie who really complains about finding good parking especially downtown so that was a plus for me. It is absolutely stunning from the moment you approach the restaurant, you can see the detail and decor immediately. This place screams grown and sexy from the lighting to the seating to the decor to the trim to the fabrics that were used to even how the hostesses and staff are dressed. and the service was absolutely amazing. From the moment I was greeted seated and the engagement that was had throughout the entire meal. I really enjoyed the service at this establishment. So I did come here, knowing that I was gonna try a little bit of everything so I'll start with the cocktails. I had gotten their plate on an old-fashioned and when I say it was absolutely delicious, top-tier a lot of times when you go to restaurants, old-fashioned you just taste the strength of the alcohol but with this one you could taste the orange you could taste the smokiness. You can taste the full body flavor all the way throughout I thoroughly enjoyed it so much that I had to lol. As my appetizer I had chosen to get the oysters, Rockefeller, I felt like they were very good. I felt like the oysters were fresh and had great flavor and were delicately prepared where the oysters still were cold, but the Rockefeller portion of top was cooked to perfection. My friend had the Caesar salad salad. It was a good Caesar salad salad. You know that that's always a great go to.. for our entrées. She had chosen the New York strip steak and I had chosen to get the Atlantic salmon , we also did shared the sides of macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes. We ended up actually sharing everything so I will give you a review of the steak. I was not impressed, it wasn't bad she had gotten hers medium well so it still had some pink on the inside. I just feel like it was a tough cut and I did not enjoy the steak and neither is she. The salmon, I was unsure how that was gonna turn out because I'm typically hard on salmon when cooked their restaurants but this was perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed how it was prepared to cook of it and it was just delicious from first bite to last. I had also decided the very last minute to try their chocolate cake. I had decided to take that to go though because we were full, but I had saw someone have some chocolate cake and I was like I gotta try it. It is served with like a sherbet survey, which was a flavor that I didn't expect a pair so well, but it really did and when I say on the way home, we ended up devouring a cake. It was absolutely delicious. Great flavors moist all the way through icing was great.. As for the price, it is a pricier type of restaurant, but you know that going in so I feel like the value for the money was fair and equitable, especially for the service that you do get and the freshness and quality of the food. I honestly cannot wait to return. I don't think I would get the steak again but everything else I had on the menu was a hit so I would definitely get this place. Another try. read more
