Loved this place!!! We were staying next door and had walked past so many times do not let its demure facade fool you the food was absolutely outstanding!! All the staff were excellent, one of the girls was exceptionally attentive and most definitely seemed like she had been here longer than 2 weeks. We will recommend to anyone coming to Sydney

The staff at Clam Bar made last night so memorable for us all. The table was perfect - a booth in the back of the restaurant that comfortable sat us all. Felt like we were in downtown New York amongst the wood panelling and jazz music. The service was wonderful, the food exceptional. We will be back.
