    Our tater tots were over cooked. Didn’t really taste or see the advertised ingredients. The porter house pork chop was very small considering other comparable restaurants we’ve dined at. The airline chicken was chewy and not that good. Overall we love this restaurant for convenience. Hopefully my comments will help management to improve the points I highlighted.

    So much to love about 211 Clover. It’s always so put together yet unassuming. Like a great outfit almost. Had a nice Christmas lunch with a girlfriend. Cocktails and the shrimp salad were light and refreshing. Warmed up with the lentil soup. We were in a small room with a groups of ladies having a birthday lunch. So it was loud, but that’s to be expected. Lovely afternoon.

    Our waitress was attentive. She did a good job! The food was fantastic. They serve cornbread before the meal and it was like having dessert. They serve it warm with butter. I had the shrimp and halibut cheeks with polenta. Michael had the steak with crab. His meal came with a macaroni cake which was delicious. Michael’s steak was cooked perfectly and my meal was wonderful. Reasonable priced for an upscale restaurant! After our dinner we sat at the bar and had an after dinner drink!
