   We got to Wells late and they squeezed us in for dinner right before the kitchen closed. The food was so delicious, particularly the prime rib and Caesar salad. Even dessert (crème brûlée) was phenomenal. Our server was the sweetest and everyone was very welcoming and friendly even though we were one of the last guests there. We basically begged to come back for thanksgiving dinner! Highly recommend and definitely will be back!

   I did not voice this as my older Mom was there and did not want to have her experience be diminished. My Pork dish was so salty almost inedible. Sauce was worse. Overcooked pork. Undercooked baked beans. Portion of green beans was exactly (6) total. My Moms fish was supposedly “baked” but was like fish and chips. Called light attention to the server and instead of how to make it better she corrected me and walked away. It was so dry I actually had to come up with a solution since you don’t have tartar sauce for what should have been Haddock in a ramekin with breadcrumbs. My chicken wing appetizer again dry and tasteless but the sauce was good (which I asked for the fish and it made it better) and the apple slaw was the only this that was in any way at the level I expect from Clay Hill. That was great. Two had the prime rib which was great but you didn’t serve “fingerling” potatoes. Instead they were small new potatoes that were just boiled and put on the plate again with (6) green beans (so it must be your policy in portions). Also potatoes were a bit hard. Best part of the night was your piano player. She kept me calm with an array of showtunes that helped me feel better that at least I was getting great ambiance and entertainment for this very very overpriced bad meal. It pains me to give this review. Have gone to Clay Hill many many times but not for about 6 months. I am hoping this was just a bad night vs a trend and will give it one more chance. If I wasn’t a semi regular customer, I would not go back. My portion of the bill with tip was rounded $225 for three and none of us drank any booze. Get your veggie portions more fair; stop charging an up charge for a $36-45 meal to substitute starch. It’s cheap. More the principal than the cost. I went to Longhorns the night before where I had great meal with steak; good veggie portions; and chicken wings at half the cost. Hoping if we go again it is reliable and great as it once was.

   Love this restaurant….setting, service and entertainment is the best…they just need to improve some of the food. Second annual trip…., salads and desert were great, but second year in a row with a disappointing main entree and at $46.00 for the prime rib, tasty but tough…reviews raved about it….i would not order again. Last year’s Coquille St. Jacques was disappointing but not on the menu this year… Will return next year for starters and desserts. Service from valet to waitstaff and great entertainment were outstanding!

    We’ve been going for over ten years and tonight was (as always) excellent. The Apple & Brie galette was a wonderful seasonal addition! And the lobster bisque seems to get even better every time we go! Thank you, Clay Hill!
