In visiting Clementines on over three occasions, I have been continually impressed by not merely the professional and kindly way they serve their customers, but also the way Chef Patton, along with his staff, make clientele feel as though they are guests at home. In respect to the cuisine, I have never been disappointed. It is exciting to go again and again with faultless expectation of something new, yet with a flare that is reminiscent of a cuisine that is centuries old.

    Food was absolutely wonderful. Menu relatively small but a lot of interesting choices; Among the highlights, for appetizers: the Mussels and the Goat Cheese Tart; for Entrees: Cassoulet; the Cheese Course; and the Apple Strudel and Warm Chocolate Cake. Service was friendly but unobtrusive. Although it is small, they do not try to cram as many tables as possible into the space, so it is not noisy and it has a very relaxing atmosphere.

  • My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience at Clementine's this past week. The food was innovative and spectacular, and with 4 of us dining and selecting various items off of the blackboard menu, we still have not determined who ordered the best item. The service was gracious and attentive, and we thoroughly enjoyed Clementine's warm ambiance. The restaurant came highly recommended by friends, who joined us for a lovely dining experience, and have thankfully introduced us to one of our newest “favorite” restaurants. Chef Robert Patton is truly gifted. We were impressed all around, and will certainly be dining there again.

    My wife and i recently had dinner at Clementine's Bistro and thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The food was excellent and the service friendly and relaxed. While there are few tables, the seating is not as tight as one usually finds at other small BYOs in the city. From previous reviews, we thought that this was a French bistro, but it is more Mediterranean. The chef loves Spain and the cuisine in country and region. The name Clementine's comes from the Spanaish orange.We can highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be going back and taking friends with us.
