I feel as though I cannot properly rate this restaurant since I only came for the dessert. The restaurant people were so nice and held a late night spot for our group so we could come for the famous devils cake which I shared among 3 people. Honestly it's so rich you could share among more. Although it was delicious, I wouldn't say it's the best cake I've ever had. That being said, we also got the maple ice cream and THIS is actually a dessert I've been thinking about since I left. The ice cream was perfectly creamy and it had these crunchy bits on top and it was seriously perfection. Can't wait to come back and try the food too next time. read more

Claud - Cake - Wine Bars Near Me - New York, New York

The first time I went to Claude, I thought it was absolutely amazing. But wanted to see if it was just that one night, so went back within two weeks and got some of the same dishes and some different ones. The food was incredible, fresh, juicy, light, and so flavorful. The portions were perfect size too. The chocolate cake for dessert was a major delight as well, one of those things that seems too good to be true but it actually is! read more

The host needs to chill. Bad attitude all around. She couldn't give us a time frame for when our table would be ready (we had a reservation) and kept shooing us away to stay outside instead of giving us any solid answer. The server was cool though. The recommendations kept flowing and we were never left without beverages. Food is great! I'd like to come back to try more dishes. But I'll be ready to be received with a sigh and an eye roll from the host. read more

Great meal, great service. Cozy but modern interior. Front row seat to watch the chefs cook was interesting. Refreshing coconut lime mocktail. Chicken liver agnolotti was as good as I remember it. Can definitely taste the balsamic. Perfectly cooked pork chop with enough lean and moist bits. Not dry at all. Chocolate cake is huge. Subtle chocolate flavor. Was told there's some ginger in there too. read more

Short review- Best dishes were the Agnolotti and the Dover Sole. Cake was very tasty also and massive. Prices a bit too high for quality. I was here a good while back as per most of my recent reviews. I was here around a month or two before their fish-centric restaurant Penny opened upstairs and the staff seemed excited about their new opening. The service was nice, the lighting was good enough for photos, and the food was decent. The flavors of most of the dishes are very nice but the price point doesn't really match for the quality outside of a handful of things. To be honest in that way, the food reminds me a bit of the newer restaurant Four Horsemen outside of that spot having of course a much better wine menu with dainty but well flavored portions perfect for wine. It also reminded me of that restaurant in that a lot of the dishes on the current menu have the same main ingredient but they change up what it comes with. They only have 2 cocktails on the menu and after asking the waiter for the description, I remember going for the Fino Negroni for I believe $16 which had a unique saltiness and bitterness and some floral flavor as I remember gin was in it. It was different and alright. The cocktails appear to be a bit different now on the current menu and they are a few bucks more. They gave us some sourdough bread and butter which was tasty though I would have preferred a better quality butter. The bread went well with supplementing some of our appetizers. The Red Shrimp With Olive Oil and Garlic for $27 was overpriced but tasty. There was 4 rather small shrimp in there but the garlic sauce was well flavored though perhaps a bit salty with the lemon definitely not being necessary. Dipping the bread in the delicious garlic reminded me to an extent of escargot. We also got the Foie Gras Terrine With Walnuts and Honey Vinegar for the same price. The portion size for this was decent though I preferred the flavor from the first dish. Still a good quality terrine and the sweet walnuts was a novel touch with the foie gras and gelée. The bread as per before went with the foie. Similarly priced but very much worth it was the Chicken Liver Agnolotti for $26 which comes with 16 pieces. The tiny pasta were rich and delicious from the chicken liver and the sauce on top which contains brown butter, sage, & balsamic compliments it well with the touch of sourness from the balsamic going really well. This was one of the best dishes of the night and I would recommend it and I can see why it's one of the signatures. As they didn't have the bone-in skate wing or kampachi, we got an extra main dish which was unfortunately the Half Chicken With Foie Drippings for $38. I would say speaking of foie gras to reference the terrine but there really wasn't any flavor resembling said foie gras. It was just decently cooked pretty bland chicken for way too much which honestly didn't have the best texture either. It's not on the current menu and I wouldn't recommend them bring it back as this was easily the worst dish of the night by a whole lot. The other main dish was the Dover Sole With Sherry and Lemon for $88. The very large filet was perfectly cooked and almost buttery. Not much really to say about it outside of the fish quality being good and the sauce adding a slight bit of sweetness but only slight and it was honestly worth it for the price. If I was going there with one other, I would likely order this and the agnolotti with probably the cake at the end if wanted and make a meal out of those 2 and leave decently stuffed. We of course got the famous Devil's Food Cake listed as for 2 on the menu for $22 but we got one for the whole table to share. The cake was very tasty from the moist cake to the ganache sections which were rich. I was happy that the chocolate was definitely on the darker end but not too bitter and the bit of sea salt of course helped with the richness also. If I was going here with one other, I would likely order the dover sole, the agnolotti, and probably the cake at the end and have a decently filling meal for around $88 or if going solo, the agnolotti and cake. If I had done that, I would probably be leaving this place a five star review but we also ordered a lot of other dishes that just really weren't as worth it. I guess stick with the signatures. Low 4/upper 3. read more

We were lucky to get seats at the bar as walk-ins. The staff as a whole was friendly. At first the server gave us water but did not pour it for us, which felt a little unusual, although it was not a big deal. For the food, the country ham with melon was just okay--at $25 we expected something a little more memorable, but it reminded us of a simple jamón con melon. The shishito peppers with duck sausage were very good, and the tomato mille-feuille with Moses Sleeper was outstanding and a definite must-try. The pork chop was fine, but it did not stand out. The atmosphere itself was cozy and inviting, but the lighting at the bar was a bit off. It was very yellow and did not make our photos turn out as nicely as we hoped. read more

Claud was on my list for so long and I finally visited. So impressed!!! We started with the Beef Tartare, which was very flavorful and fresh. Then we had the Red Shrimp, which was very delicious but pricey for $27, so I'd skip that next time. Highlight of the meal surprisingly was the Tomato Mille-Feuille, which was so delicious. I loved the pastry with the fresh tomato and creamy cheese. Another stand-out was the Chicken Liver Agnolotti, which was incredible the first half of the dish, but got a little too heavy after that.The Pork Chop was also delicious and very juicy but we were too full to truly appreciate it. At the end of our meal, they surprised us with an ice cream on the house because we were celebrating our anniversary - so sweet! read more

Wow. Everything here was so yummy. We ordered the scallops, asparagus, chicken liver agnolotti, and pork chop. My favorites were the chicken liver agnolotti and the pork chop. The plate of agnolotti was smaller than I was expecting but it was surprisingly a lot of food. The flavor was very rich with a smoky kick which I was not expecting. The pork chop was a very large portion and very tender. The service was also really good. I don't think our pitcher of water ever hit less than half the bottle - they were so quick to swap them out! I would definitely come again, maybe to try their famous chocolate cake next time. read more

Claud is an exceptional dining experience start to finish. Everything about the place is expertly curated: the vibe, the wine selection, the food menu, the service. The hype around Claud has made the prospect of snagging a reservation here a daunting one, but if you're in the right place at the right time, you too can experience the magic here. The only negative thing I have to say is that I'm sad that I couldn't try everything on the menu in one go. Next time I'll be sure to plan a trip with more people so we can have a proper feast. Came here at 9pm on a Saturday night. We had bar seats which means we didn't get to see much of the space, but it didn't matter too much. We were plenty immersed and entertained where we were. Claud only has wine, which makes both drink decisions (on our end) and bartending (on their end) relatively easy. I ended up getting a white and an orange (light skin contact) while my husband got a white and a red. We loved everything we tried, so they clearly know their wine here. They also kept our water vase sufficiently filled at all times, always an important thing to note as I'm quite the over-hydrator, especially at meals. Menu-wise, good luck narrowing things down. The menu is divided into snacks/bites, cold apps, hot apps, and entrees. Some of the food is pretty rich, so take that into considering when deciding how much to order. We had our sights set on the famous chocolate cake at the end of the meal (which we saw being delivered to many parties around us) but we were stuffed after our last dish. Oh well, next time. I'd describe the food as generally European, with a variety of influences from within Europe. The food is subtly exceptional, if such an oxymoron exists. Kampachi with kumquat and yuzu: A I had never heard of kampachi in my 30 years on this earth, yet I've now had it twice in the past week. I keep accidentally calling it hamachi, which is fitting because it's actually also a type of yellowtail, just a bit leaner than hamachi. This was a flawlessly executed crudo preparation. Some do too much and the fish gets lost, some do too little and they're boring. This was just right - fresh and citrusy, the perfect amuse bouche. Pear with celery and hazelnuts: A A crisp and seasonal salad with fresh pears and thinly sliced celery. Lightly dressed. A nice complement to some of the heavier dishes on the menu. Squash fritters with pecorino: A+ We nearly got the shrimp appetizer (and my FOMO has me still wishing I had gotten to try it) but my husband insisted on these instead. Honestly, these might be featured in my last meal on earth. The mild, slightly sweet squash, lightly fried, with the sharp and nutty flavor of the cheese was a truly magical pairing. Grilled cabbage with sunflower seeds and dill: A+ Few things are better than grilled cabbage in the colder months, and this salad was no exception. More filling than expected but I took one for the team and finished it despite my fullness level because it was just too good. Pork chop with smoked onion jus: A+ I typically run from pork chop, as I tend not to like pork too much and I love both fish and chicken. But I wasn't going to ignore the reviews, and it's a good thing I didn't, because this was so decadent and delicious. It doesn't come with any sides - just a healthy hunk of meat - so it was nice to keep some of the grilled cabbage around to have along with it. The pork itself was juicy and flavorful, while the sauce provided a rich and earthy complement. read more

An early curtain meant I had minimal time to grab a meal prior. I noticed that reservations suggested a two hour window to dine, so I thought Claud might be able to help me. I explained my exit hopes and they indicated they could easily accommodate my needs. Great! Loved the Country Ham, prosciutto cut and served with sunchoke and a delightful mayo blend. Because of the prep length of the pork chop, the server suggested a second larger appetizer I was considering. The Mushroom Mille Feuille was light, flaky and luscious with a rich woodsy aroma. It would have been nice to spend a more relaxed evening here. Almost everything on the menu sounded good. As an alternative, my quick sampling was a nice way to appreciate this delightful spot. Next time.... read more

Claud is on the pricier side for Manhattan, and while the food is generally well-prepared and better than the social media hype might suggest, it does not always live up to the bill (Im choosy). The 7-layer Devil's Food Cake is the one thing I keep coming back for -- not because it blows my mind every time, but because at the price I paid I feel obligated to enjoy it rather than attempt making it myself. If I want that cake, I'd go there for that instead late at night (an hour before closing, but best of luck too if there is still cake left). The rest of the menu is decent but nothing that will leave you speechless. Customer service is generally good and cordial, though the receptionist on one visit was noticeably cold compared to other nights. That annoyed me but I dont want to be the diva that night. Worth trying at least once out of curiosity, but go in knowing you will likely walk out $200 lighter per person (that is $300-400 for two pax) with wine and cocktails -- and wondering if it was all truly worth it. I'm saying it as city person, ---but I will still go back and recommend Claud. Yeahh bcoz it's hard to get a reservation there! read more

Really excellent service, but the food fell a bit flat. Was not able to taste the kumquat in the kampachi dish and the cod croquettes were not as smooth as I would have hoped. The filling on the agnolleti was divine, but the casing was a little thick. Chocolate cake was good but not sure if it's the amazing perfection it's hyped up to be. read more

Outstanding. Come with a few people and order as much as you can. We loved every single thing we tried, our only regret was not ordering even more. Service here is 10/10. We had to wait a bit for our reservation which is normal, however, we were treated to a bit of sparkling for the wait. Wine by the glass selection is extensive and we enjoyed all of the wines we had. Overall I'd highly recommend Claud to anyone for any occasion. read more

I've been here a few times, and this place never disappoints. They have reservations via Resy, but also have a handful of tables for walk-in, so you might get lucky, like I did. There's a rotating menu, but some staples have remained the same. My favorites there are the foie gras and the chicken liver agnolotti. The scallops and mille feuille were also delicious. The surprise of the night was how delicious the pork chop was. I'm normally not one to order pork chops at any restaurant because it tends to be dry/chewy, but wow... these pork chops were nothing like I've ever had, anywhere. It was juicy, crispy, and tender. We got the pumpkin spice ice cream (seasonal) and the pistachio Bundt cake. The ice cream definitely tasted fresh - wondering if it's home made? The Bundt cake was also good, but I wish the pistachio flavor was stronger. I had the devil's food cake last time, and it was out of this world; I regret not getting it again this time around. So much for branching out. Our server was just so lovely and very conscientious of the fact that there was a time limit on the table (unfortunately, we were all running a little late to the reservation). He was very timely and made sure that we didn't feel rushed. Wonderful service! read more

Look I'd give it a 4.12 but I fw my waitress so I rounded it up to a 5. Lowkey entering into the restaurant feels like walking into a gentrified Japanese thrift store in a way like how u go down half a flight of steps And the curtain Anyways, food tastes great but wouldn't say it's a bucket list spot, you can live without coming here. Sliverware situation is like a cash register drawer ! Goodbye change, hello fork knife spoon. Would have tried the cake if I wasn't so full. I like the playlist , nice. Was so engrossed that I didn't take photos, sorry. read more

Another amazing visit here. Our favorites this time were the tomato mille-feuille, the shrimp, and the cake (obviously). We also loved the pork chop, the steak, and the white beans, and I personally loved the agnolotti again, even though the rest of the table didn't. The beets, lettuces, and croquettes were all excellent, but not necessarily musts on future visits. read more

Remarkable. Everything about my time dining at Claud was remarkable. We were seated for 2 at the bar with enough space between us and the neighboring patrons. The atmosphere is cozy, warm, and romantic. My boyfriend and I went a little overboard and ordered the beef tartare, red shrimp, tomato mille-feuille, ice cream, AND devil's food cake for two. Our server was beyond patient with us as we asked many questions about what foods tasted good together, what the ice cream special was that evening, etc. I cannot begin to even explain how stunned I was that every single dish was not just delicious, but beautifully prepared. Our faves were the mille-fueille and the beef tartare. That smooth, melty, slightly funky cheese paired with the flavored bomb tomatoes, and the crispy flaky bits of pastry was heaven in my mouth. And of course, how could you not get a slice of their well-known cake. It is the right amount of richness and frosting. Usually I'm not a fan of frosting, but they really do their cake right. This is a restaurant I want to go back to just enjoy everything all over again!!! read more

I canceled a reservation within four hours due to unforeseen circumstances and was charged a $100 fee. Despite requesting a refund, the restaurant refused. Given it was a table for two at 7 pm on a Friday, the table was likely filled. As a potential first-time customer who would have spent more than $100 and possibly become a regular, their refusal to refund the fee has cost them my future business. Greedy fools. read more

Claud didn't disappoint. It lived up to the hype which many do not. The space is beautiful, small but not overly crowded like some NYC small spots. The food is amazing and the service is impeccable. We had: Appetizer: The Bread everyone raves about - it is as good as every review on here. Crab and corn fritters - I don't usually eat anything fried, but this was an exception and it is simply divine. Foie Gras - I wish I could eat this every day of my life. It is buttery and savory and on the bread - heaven. Dinner - we split the half chicken. It was perfectly done - not a dry spot on it and elevated with the foie drippings. There was a bean side dish - I can't recall the name but if they are offering it, GET IT. So delicious and creamy and perfect with any bread you may have left over! Our waitress was helpful and made a Monday night business dinner feel like a Saturday :) read more

Have to say I absolutely loved this place. Everything about it was what a new restaurant should aim to be. Nice warm environment, great interior design, ample, yet dim lighting, nice outdoor situation in front and in back. Waiter was great and really helpful with picking dishes for our group. Sommelier was very nice and informative. Helped us pick out a Smokey Pinot Noir and a great Chardonnay (other people loved it, I had a sip and it tasted like every other Chardonnay honestly). We ordered the following: Bread - very fresh. Amazing butter. Needed a tad bit of extra salt tho Crab and corn fritters - amazing Mushroom pastry - amazing. Great sauce Summer squash - very unique. Vegetables were soft and Smokey Shrimp - this is a dish everyone recommended, but I found the shrimp to be quite plane. Very fresh, but I didn't think it was suuuuper special. Came on a hot skillet Pea ravioli - outstanding. #1 app I'd recommend Chicken liver agnolotti - very good. Everyone online has hyped this up. Good, but think the ravioli pasta is better Pork chop - amazing. So good I even ate the bone like a normal rib Dover sole for two - highly recommend for the table. An ample serving to say the least. Worth the $88 Chocolate cake for two - good. Tad overhyped if you ask me. Very rich. Tasted like it was made primarily with dark chocolate (ie a bit bitter). I prefer more sweet, milk chocolate Would strongly recommend this place to anyone for a special occasion. Understand why the reservations are hard to come by read more

Claud had such warm, comforting dishes that taste and feel good. Start with these amazing fritters. Super fluffy on the inside with bits of crab and corn throughout. A wow from the start As for the iconic mille-feuille, gorgeous layers of pastry, sleeper cheese, and juicy tomatoes. From savory to sweet and slightly acidic, the flavors balance super well. Kinda soggy but the taste makes up for it. My fav is the agnolotti You def taste the chicken liver but the sage brown butter sauce has this slight sweetness that blends everything perfectly. This is the best enjoyed by wiping the plate with their house made sourdough!! For the bigger options, can't believe I'm saying this but order the pork chop. I usually never order pork chop but this one is so tender and flavorful, I changed my mind Claud is very serious about their sauces. You can tell from the amazing broth of cockles and garlic scrapes that the halibut is served with. Fish felt a tad over cooked but the sauce stole my heart. I know I'll be coming back to try the other dishes and most definitely the cake! crab and corn fritters $21* tomato mille-feuille $33 chicken liver agnolotti $24* pork chop with smoked onion jus $39* halibut with cockles $41 드디어 나도 Claud 입성!! 모던 프렌치 요리를 선보이는 와인바인데 기대이상으로 맛있고 좋다 시그니쳐 디쉬는 세이보리 밀푀유. 버터리한 페스츄리 사이에 크리미한 치즈랑 과즙 가득한 토마토를 레이어드했다. 바삭함은 없지만 맛의 밸런스가 최고다. 짠맛, 약간의 단맛 그리고 신맛까지 매우 조화로움 옥수수 & 크랩이 들어간 프리터도 강추. 쫀쫀한 도우가 꿀맛. 여긴 소스에 진심이다 ‍ 파스타는 브라운 버터 세이지 소스, 폭찹은 감칠맛 뿜어내는 양파 주, 생선은 깔끔한 새조개 육수랑 나오는데 3가지 다 매력 넘침. 다양한 맛과 엄청 뚜렷하고 진득한 깊이를 맛볼수있다. 사이드로 주신 사워도우로 싹싹 긁어먹기~ read more

I've been wanting to check Claud out but it's not easy getting a reservation. Was lucky enough to catch one on Resy alert. We were warmly greeted by the hostess and promptly seated at our table. Our server was very attentive. We ordered the chicken liver agnolotti and this is was probably the best thing I've had in awhile. I could literally eat an entire bowl of this. If you're going to get one dish, make sure it's the agnolotti. The escarole was simple but well dressed. The mushroom mille-feuille was flaky and tasty. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the foie drippings was worthy of a spoon. Even the rice pilaf was yummy. I'll definitely make an effort to come again. Get those alerts ready because this place is worth it. read more

Came here for a meal that was worth the hype and all the efforts to get a reservation. We shared (1) the razor clams, (2) the red shrimp (which came sizzling in a skillet), (3) chicken liver agnolotti, (4) the hamachi collar (an off-menu special they do periodically), and (5) the devil's food cake. If the hamachi collar is available, get it. The meat is fatty and tender; the sauce is very good and goes well with bread. It was the standout dish. The chicken liver agnolotti was savory and delicious, and the balsamic in the sauce cut through the richness well. The clams had good bite and were refreshing. The shrimp, while good, were the weakest link solely because the other items were better. The devil's food cake was also fluffy and moist and not cloyingly sweet. Overall, a very very good meal. Highly recommend. read more

I really didn't know much about the place or the menu before stepping inside. It's a pretty unassuming place from the street. But I could have eaten this meal five times over and highly recommend trying this place out. We started with the kampachi with kumquat and yuzu, which is the only part of the meal I wasn't a huge fan of and probably could have skipped. The flavoring was nice but the kampachi didn't add much. The shrimp came next and these were unreal, so plump and flavorful. The chicken liver agnolotti isn't a normal fare for us and I'd never had agnolotti before, but I was really taken aback by how much we enjoyed this. It was creamy but not in an overbearing way that liver can be at times and putting it inside agnolotti was a smart move. The tomato mille-feuille was also a dish unfamiliar to us and this was a delightfully delicate and creamy dish that was just sweet enough. We were torn on the main as they all sounded great but the table next to us got the pork chop, which convinced us. The onion jus was perfect and the meat itself was delicious bite after bite, of which there were a lot as it was a large portion. We sat at the bar, which I didn't mind. The bartender was super nice and attentive. The wines were cheap. I do wish that the carrots or beans side options were a bit cheaper, as I couldn't justify paying $11 for glazed carrots. Overall such a nice experience. read more

Umpteenth time dining at Claud tonight. It is absolutely stellar each and every time, this time was no different. I'm always wowed by eating something new [new to me anyway] on the menu. I finally came with a group so I was able to order the bigger plates. Wowza. The half chicken with foie drippings [$38] was ridiculous. The skin was so crispy and the inside was so moist and flavorful. We also ordered the pork chop with smoked onion jus [$39]. The pork chop was pre-cut off the bone and ate like a steak. I definitely could've eaten the whole thing by myself. The glazed carrots [$14] that we ordered as a side were also delicious. For dessert we had the sherbet [$9] which was a citrus flavor with toasted meringue on top. It was definitely giving key lime pie. We also had the devils food cake for two [$22] which is a chocolate lovers dream. I can't stop raving about Claud. It really feels like my special place and it makes me so happy to eat here. read more

Claud - Chicken w/foie drippings, pork chop w/smoked onion jus, and glazed carrots - Wine Bars Near Me - New York, New York

One of the most racist dining service that I've experienced. Especially for a brand new restaurant. If you're Asian, take heed. I dined at Claud with my mom and thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes we ordered; however, the service felt discriminatory because we were Asian. We sat next to two tables (both pairs of Caucasians) and the server routinely checked in with them but never bothered to check in on us at all. The other tables in our section were cleared and wiped down after each course while my mom and I were left with the same dirty plates/utensils throughout dinner. Our table was also messy with some spilled sauce and water throughout the dinner. At the end of our meal, I asked our server if they typically clear the table after each course and why the other tables were cleared and not ours. She said they do when it's messy and the other tables were more messy which I took as an unusual, lazy, and idiotic excuse. She even asked if I felt slighted by this. With Claud being well reviewed, this dining experience just left a bad taste for us and it did feel like we were discriminated because we were Asian. While I hope this was just an off night and unintentional, I messaged the restaurant that they provide their staff with proper diversity and inclusion training as part of their onboarding and ongoing training (especially around microaggressions and unconcious bias). The restaurant general manager and one of their co-owners never acknowledged this and only replied to offer a dinner on them which I politely declined. I do hope other Asian patrons in the future receive better and more attentive service than we did. read more

I've been checking resy for some time. I think I was only able to get a reservation because half of nyc is away for thanksgiving weekend. The restaurant is down some steps and is set up like a rectangle with an open kitchen! The wine list was extensive with the biggest range of prices from 40 dollars a bottle to over thousands. We shared a bottle of white. Our waiter was very nice and helped us choose some of our apps. We thought the food was pretty interesting. I didn't think the escargot croquettes were anything special. I'm not even sure if mine had escargot in it. The beef tartare and duck rillette were good with an acidic touch. The red shrimp was amazing. I wish we got more than four slices of bread as they were easily gone after topping them with the beef tartare and dipping them in the garlic oil that the shrimps were cooking in. The onion and anchovy bread was a good carb option. The duck liver agnolotti was delicious but the portion size was much smaller than the photos would suggest. We also really enjoyed the pork chops and the trout. We were afraid that we won't be full after. So we shared the devils cake for 22 dollars. It ended up being just over 100 dollars per person for the food and drinks. This is what it's like to dine in NYC. read more

I wish this place was easier to get a res to. I didn't love the ambiance- it's pretty loud and busy, and some staff feel kind of above it all. However, I agree with those who say this is one of the best restaurants in the city. All of the food we got was delicious. In particular, the stand out dish for me was the tomato and cheese Mille feuille. Oh my goodness, I didn't think I would find this as delicious as I did. This was excellent and I couldn't stop thinking about it for weeks. Their plates are on the smaller side and like I said, all are well executed. Therefore don't feel too shy when ordering. Finally- the chocolate cake IS that good! If you're a big chocolate person, this is likely going to be one of your favorite desserts. I had this on my birthday and no regrets. Love the flaky salt on top. You'll probably be able to take some of it home too, it's a good portion. read more

I'm surprised that Claud only has 23 reviews because it's certainly one of the hardest to get reservations right now; I ended up coming here around 9-10 PM both times because that was the best I could get, even with Resy Notify. It's definitely worth the wait, though. Escargot croquettes - 9/10 - $13 - So creative and delicious! I definitely want to try to make an arancini version; the escargot is impossibly tender and this was even better than I imagined. I would definitely get this again, especially compared to some of the other things on this menu. Sliced kampachi with citrus vinaigrette - 8/10 - $21 - Honestly, this is exactly as it sounds, and it is truly very good. However, it's not as creative as a lot of other things on this menu, and I would totally just get another serving of the chicken liver agnolotti for the same price. Foie gras terrine with walnuts and honey vinegar - 10/10 - $25 - This is totally biased because I just love foie gras everything, but I think it's a great price for something so delicious and difficult to obtain. I was also totally charmed by the honey vinegar gelee, which paired excellently. Razor clam with apple and horseradish - 7/10 - $18 - I was obsessed with razor clams in Spain so I was particularly looking forward to this, but I was not expecting the chewiness/coldness of it. I don't know if it's raw or just chilled, but it just reminded me of a raw oyster so I was not thrilled to be paying $9 per razor clam. It's definitely good, though, but just not what I'd want for this price. Millefeuille with tomato confit - 9/10 - It looks like they changed this on the menu and the new one is $33 (pretty sure this was not what I paid at the time). I did think it was very delicious and for better or worse, it inspired me to make my own at home with baked Willoughy, puff pastry, and tomato confit. I'm very glad I tried it but I will probably not order it again now that I can easily make something similar. Chicken liver agnolotti - 10/10 - $22 - I hope this never leaves the menu because this was easily one of the best things I've eaten all year. I loved it so much that I immediately made a reservation (at 10pm on a weeknight) for the following week so that my boyfriend could try it. I would come back JUST for this dish. I usually don't like chicken liver, but this was rich and delicious. It looks like a small portion, but it is pretty heavy and comes with some lovely sourdough. I shared this with one person both times, which was a good portion - it might be a lot for one person (though with my gluttony, I'd probably be down to eat a whole one on its own). read more

One of the best meals I've had in 2022! Everything at this small spot is delicious and unpretentious. Bring friends so you can share and try almost everything. Even the roasted chicken (which sounds boring) was downright yummy. Make sure you get a slice of the chocolate cake because it is beyond decadent. Note that the restaurant only serves wine but has great options. read more
