“Claud was super disappointing- I asked the server for recommendations and they suggested their garlic shrimp dish, which just tasted like bad shrimp, and their kale salad which was basically at the level of something you could get at Sweetgreen.”

replying to u/DMCer: No one over 35 was there during my first and last visit. Are they big on TikTok or something? I thought it was just fine. Entrees overpriced for being “fine.” Good service though! The dessert (maple ice cream) was borderline inedible thanks to being too sweet, even without the pumps of barista syrup they usually drown it in. Good to try once.
“There was a cabbage dish with vadouvan butter that was pretty transcendent, the chicken liver agnolotti were like more Italian manti or dumplings and quite amazing, and the pork chop was a simple preparation (like the beet salad) but i almost ordered a second…I should have ordered a second.”

replying to u/expertexpertise: I think Claud is divisive in the subreddit and I can’t say it’s completely past it’s hype, but I’ve had a MUCH easier time getting in the past couple months and each meal has been pretty exceptional in my book.

“Thumbs down for Claud. Snagged a late rez one night abt a year and a half ago. The servers were closing down the place shortly after we arrived. I feel like they rushed our service and made us feel unwelcome.”

“Had a bad experience at Claud recently. Only stand out dishes are the mille feuille, chocolate cake, and agnolotti (ONLY IF YOU *LOVE* chicken liver).”
