   Great vibe in a local boite that has shifted from casual, charcuterie driven theme to a farm to table sit-down restaurant. Very nice menu and adventurous cocktail menu. Beef tartare was fresh but overly salty, and the grilled bread was an excellent addition. Pork chop was superb, as was the red snapper. Mushroom risotto was soupy and flavorless. Desserts were excellent. The chef and concept are recent changes so we’ll absolutely return because it’s a unique experience in our area.

   Ambiance is always great at Claywood. Had a nice evening but we really miss the boards. It used to be so fun to go share a couple of boards and a bottle of wine. A few observations: Menu now is really pricey. $14 for a very small banquette was a bit much. The mushroom risotto was extremely under salted. The fresh fish was definitely a high quality fresh fish but definitely needs more substantial accoutrements than the shaved carrots and fennel. The dish didn’t look or feel put together like a composed dish. Wine selection good but our waiter was not familiar with wine and could not recommend a bottle for us. For this price point we may go elsewhere in the future.

   We had a wonderful experience at Claywood. Our waitress, Taylor was outstanding. So helpful and accommodating. The beef tartar appetizer was awesome, served with excellent sourdough bread. Our entree of Sliced Pork Chop with beans was great! Loved every bite. Can’t wait to come back!

    Warm open setting couch with table accommodations. Appetizers, entrees and desserts were fabulous. They are on their autumn menu (root vegetables) until after Thanksgiving. We will return for more. We do not drink alcohol but noticed very high end quality choices on a extensive list of libations.
