    duck
    Lydia N.

    Very cute and unique dining area at the basement of the Clermont Hotel! I had the duck, which was very delicious and came with a bed of greens and grains. The service was good, and the interior was a nice, dark, and intimate vibe. My friend tried the mushroom cocktail, which she liked. As someone who likes sweet cocktails, it wasn't for me, but if you like a more earthy flavor I would recommend it since it's pretty unique! There is valet parking up front, or free street parking on the neighborhood road nearby. Make sure your entire party is present to be seated, otherwise you will have to wait. They have a bar at the main level which was nice, had good seating options, and cool drink options. I'd definitely come back again!

    Cool spot at the Clermont hotel. We had the burrata salad, juicy & perfectly cooked pork chops & tasty brussel sprout with tzatziki. After dinner, you can enjoy the rooftop bar & city views.

    Tiny Lou's is a fun spot to check out! Located in Hotel Clermont, it has a fun speakeasy kind of vibe as you have to go into the restaurant down a flight of stairs. The ambiance feels elegant and is perfect for a date night or special occasion. Our server was very friendly and involved without being overbearing. We split the brioche bread service ($11) and French onion soup ($16). The bread was delicious and the soup was also, although I can understand some other reviews noting the broth is pretty salty. We also tried the bouillabaisse ($30), the grilled pork chop ($35), and couldn't resist a side of the truffle fries ($12) to share. I enjoyed the pork chop as well as the truffle fries, but we both felt the bouillabaisse was pretty bland and not seasoned very well. In general we really enjoyed Tiny Lou's and would like to return, as the menu often changes seasonally.

    I rounded up; I liked the vibe from Tiny Lou's and it had some great dishes and some not so great. LOVED - the rise and brine cocktail - the cocktail with coca cola in it - fresh bread (both of them) - chips and caviar were ok - beef tartare - onion soup (was salty per reviews but i like that) - truffle fries - deviled eggs - the actual plates they used DIDNT LIKE - bouillabaisse had little flavor, the sauce on the bread was bad IMO - creamed spinach; not one person at the table of 6 liked it - speed of drinks coming out, literally 20-30 minutes to get a drink, so i guess that kept the tab cheap because we literally couldn't drink more service was good but slow. so in short i would definitely come again but not all the dishes are slam dunks and i would be ordering 2 drinks at a time.

    I was staying at the hotel for the night so since it was a Friday night, I decided to do something special. The restaurant is French along with the decor having a charming flare. I started my meal with the French Onion Soup. I love soup and will almost always try some over a salad any day. This soup was so rich in flavor and delicious. I was so surprised at how good it tasted. I also ordered a cheeseburger and fries. I kept it simple with the food but even so I was not disappointed at all. It was great. To finish the meal I had dessert call Le Salon. It was top tier good and the presentation was exceptional. Every detail of the meal was great. I will return with my family very soon.

    We heard that Tiny Lou's had a Michelin recommendation and had really high expectations but unfortunately Tiny Lou's did not live up to what we had hoped. The brunch was mediocre and our staff was not very helpful. I've been to other Michelin recommended restaurants and the experience was superb so in comparison Tiny Lou's was quite underwhelming. Had I not known about the Michelin star, I would have given a higher rating, but considering the previous reviews, it is not at the same caliber as other highly recommended restaurants. Maybe it was an off day but the waitress was rude, took quite a long time to take out orders, and when we asked for her recommendations on what to order she said "I don't know y'all are the ones eating." Overall, a very average brunch and poor service experience.

    Great service Great company and good food. We ordered shrimp and crab, mushroom risotto, American burger and deviled eggs with caviar. We would go back again.

    Duck confit

    My husband and i celebrated our anniversary at the very cute and romantic Tiny Lou's inside Hotel Clermont. We loved the neon pink sign as you head down the stairs to the restaurant. Our server, Unique was very attentive and gave wonderful recommendations on the dessert. We got the chips and caviar appetizer which was delicious. I only wish it had just a little more caviar. I got the braised short ribs. Hubby got the duck confit. The portion sizes leave enough room for dessert. You leave feeling satisfied. And lastly Unique brought out champagne to toast! We loved it! We will be back!

    Beautiful decor and lighting. Tiny Lou's has a nostalgic old world feel, and is a treat for the senses. Service was friendly, a bit hands off which was nice to enjoy the ambiance and forget where you were for a moment. Great for a small group or even solo diners. We were seeking lighter dishes tonight since we were dining a bit late. The menu offers a delightful selection that changes with the seasons, allowing you to savor the freshest in-season greens and proteins. The moule (mussels) were perfectly prepared, I was sure to dip the bread in the rich broth that accompanied it. Each plate was harmonious and choiceful. Somehow both delicate and hearty, you feel the heart that went into the vision that is Tiny Lou's.

    Affogato Charlotte cake and an amazing Crème Brûlée (some kind of tea flavor that was incredible!)
    Katie W.

    AFFOGATO CHARLOTTE (the cake in the picture) was delicious!!! The creme brûlée was perfect - some kind of tea flavor. So good! We came for after dinner dessert at the bar. Staff were so kind and always a good place to hang out and enjoy incredible drinks and dessert.

    Saturday night reservation - table for 5 in the corner. Grilled pork chop was delicious - with the grits, it was comfort food! And the brioche is worth a visit. Service was good. And was impressed with the 4 desserts we had. My compliments to the pastry chef!

    Dress code for a Thursday night dinner for four?

    No dress code, other than no hats in dining room for men.

    Does anyone have a picture of the brunch menu? I don't see it on their website.

    Not posted on their site yet- it is mainly breakfast foods and has appetizers such as good salads and oysters- I love the steak frites and they can do that for you like at dinner (there is a steak and eggs dish on the actual menu)- def a meal to try… Read more

We sat on the enclosed patio area which is a gorgeous part of the restaurant with lots of natural lighting.

She also helped us choose a menu for the evening that helped us decide what we wanted for our event. Everything was fantastic but the standouts were the pulpo, salmon, and peppers for the tapas.

For their happy hour, you have to sit at the bar or at high tops, which was fine for my party of 2. Cool ambiance. My one complaint is the $16 burger which was good, but pricey for a happy hour "deal" and didn't come with fries. Overall: nice upscale spot for drinks and small bites during happy hour, some items are not worth the price (like the burger) but everything tastes great and high quality.

Little trick is that if you decide to use the valet in the little square area, they will validate your parking. However, since it is located in Buckhead Village parking can be a challenge at times, however very cheap at two dollars an hour. This is significantly cheaper to downtown Chicago or any other section of Chicago equivalent to Buckhead Village where it is over $14 an hour on the street parking. Anyhow, let me say that Pedro our server was fantastic. He is so full of personality and courtesy and super patient with us. I've read many reviews to talk about slow service and I have to say it is not slow service. It is simply them telling you that they are not rushing you through a meal that is to be enjoyed in an amazing ambience. And they let you move at your pace, which is fantastic. You can tell by the photos we ordered quite a bit of food and everything was absolutely delicious as there were no leftovers whatsoever My only complaint about the place is first the velvet chairs and benches make it very hard to scoot on in or get off Further, you have to pay for bread service here, which I do not believe in. Considering the prices, the bread, even if it was minimal bread and butter should be complementary. I will definitely be coming back here again, whether there be this location or their other locations in the south or even New York This is a must stop and worth every penny!
