BarFly's Review of clarklewis

Clarklewis' bar is small, its dining room is big, airy, and swanky, and the owners are making bank with all the word of mouth saying their the best restaurant in town (admittedly, their salads, pasta, and obscure meats are damn good). Go for the chef's dinner and buy a bottle of wine, but I wouldn't waste your time just drinkin'.

Clark Lewis has gone down, big time

My person opinion- Avoid! Went there with my partner tonight. It used to be great -pricey but was worth it. I was looking forward to taking her there. The wine was expensive and poor, The food was ok without being great. But the manager was rude and clearly didn't care about his behavior or the experience of his guests. I don't need to spend that much money for bad wine and a bad time. Sorry to see this place go like this, it used to be cool.

STAY AWAY

we went there because we had a gift certificate from somebody, it was VERY expensive and the portions were a JOKE. I ordered some type of fish for like $20 and they brought me a plate with 2 bites of fish- AND NOTHING ELSE. On top of that, the service was bad, and the servers were RUDE. NEVER AGAIN will I waste my time or my money at this place.

Fantabulous

Had a splendid meal, fresh incredients, beautifully prepared, fine cocktails, excellent ambiance -- except you may need a flashlight. Strongly recommended.

clarklewis is a joke

Avoid this place like the plague. Rude waiters, small portions, an unpleasant time to be had by all.

Please

Haven't been for dinner, mostly because I was SO underwhelmed when I went for lunch. I paid $15 for 1/4 of a beet, 2 leave of lettuce and a thimble of soup?! We were then completely ignored for the entirety of the meal, despite the fact that 3 of the 4 members of our party actually got up and walked around looking for a server. What, were they too busy kicking bums off of their steps? I won't go back unless someone else is paying and I'm not very hungry.

It is great PR, our users love it, we love it, and your business will love it.

  2. ALL CAPS does not get get your point across, but it does make you look completely stupid. The button on your keyboard is clearly labeled CapsLock. Move your pinky 5/16ths of an inch and turn it off.

  4. Where you 86ed for being a complete douchebag? Are you the perpetually unsatisfied bitch? The bartender's psycho ex? Are you copy & pasting the same review from/to Yelp, Citysearch, etc? Then you undermine the value of user reviews. Don't waste your time posting.
