    Lunch at Clarity is a treat from beginning to end - starting with the most amazing warm rolls! My colleague and I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the experience and I would highly recommend it to others. Our server, Victor, was knowledgeable about the menu and helped make the experience very pleasant.

    Chef did a very good job with all three courses (no desert). My French onion soup and shrimp apt were very very good. The knock on the night was the service. Our server was really nice but literally disappeared (we had to get another waiter to take our drink and good order).

    Service and ambience fell far below what I expect at this price level. Food was decent but unnecessarily rich.

    Expensive for what you get. Tasting menu is ok but the accompanying wine is good and extremely minimal for the price. Service is pleasant and good. Ambiance is nothing if seated in a back room. Ceiling lights switched to high in the middle of our meal. Overall, not the experience we expected.

    We did the tasting menu and wine pairing. It didn’t feel like a fine dining experience for the money you pay.

    Not as good as in years past but still yummy. Our server was too quick to clear our plates. My husband was done with his portion of our starter but I was not. She took the shared plate and I wasn’t done. She wasn’t super confident in knowing the menu. We were seated by the automatic door and it was so cold every time it opened. Service not as impeccable as in the past.
