    It was amazing, great menu, but not kid friendly which would be a plus. Lovely place.

    The restaurant itself is stunning, with a beautiful ambiance that sets the stage for a great dining experience. The service was attentive and professional, making us feel well taken care of throughout the evening. We started with the escargot and grilled artichokes, both of which were excellent—flavorful, well-prepared, and a highlight of the meal. The cocktails were equally impressive, thoughtfully crafted and perfectly balanced. Unfortunately, the main courses were a letdown. We ordered the chicken and steak, both of which were properly cooked, but the accompanying sauces were identical, which felt uninspired. Even more disappointing, the dishes arrived lukewarm at best, suggesting they had been plated and left sitting before reaching our table. Having dined at several other restaurants by the same owners, we had high expectations based on consistently great experiences. However, this location fell short, making it our least favorite of the group. Given the underwhelming entrees, we’re unlikely to return.

    Delightful experience. We visited on a late Wednesday afternoon. This renovated cottage next to the Pearl District was tastefully decorated and charming. Servers were personable and knowledgeable. Portion size was European and reflected in the lower than expected price. Perfect for an elderly couple with smaller appetites. We started with roasted artichokes which were delicious. My spouse had the haddock entre which he rated as perfect. My shrimp linguine was beautifully presented and I enjoyed every bite. I most heartedly recommend this very special spot. We will probably return many times.

    Three for lunch on 3/3/25 with reservation. Service was non -existent & food tasted like it was from 3/2/25. Very disappointed in Claudine’s - had been there numerous times in 2024 & it was a favorite of mine in SA.

    Beautiful place and easy location. Tea time, however, was quite noisy, and our tea sandwiches didn't seem as fresh as one would expect, and the brownies were very dry.

    Sunday night so missing a lot of product. Some of the very essential stuff like steak frites. More often than not the server said we don’t have that. Got the impression that they are going out of business. Service was awesome though.

    Recently went in specifically for their tea service. When we made the reservation it was not clear that to book the tea service, customers needed to book under the experience tab, not the general reservation system. We were told since we did not book the tea service IN ADVANCE we could not order the tea option because the pastry chef only makes enough food for the number of reservations received IN ADVANCE. When I looked at the reservation system I noticed they had open reservations for the tea service for the rest of the day so I booked a second reservation and was provided with a tower of food and tea. Not sure how the pastry chef only makes enough food for the reservations received IN ADVANCE but they take reservations for the tea service up until closing, after the pastry chef has left. The table of four next to us also didn’t know to book under the experience tab and the manager and server noted that this misunderstanding was a continual problem. Long story short but if you want the tea service make sure to click on the experience tab and not the general reservation system.
