    This is honestly the best food I have eaten in a very long time. Call for a reservation right now. Family owned and operated with local ingredients and an amazing revolving menu based on what is in season. The cream of mushroom was delicious, light, and seasoned perfectly. The lamb was amazing and cooked to perfection. It was a nice and relaxing atmosphere. Fresh baked, homemade rolls and bread. BYOB. I made a reservation before I walked out of the restaurant to ensure I could come back soon. Love it!

    What an amazing little cozy place. I heard great things from a friend and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere is a mix of rustic and relaxing. The food was delicious with large portions, you won't go hungry. Everyone was super friendly and answered all of our first time questions about the menu. It is BYOB with no corking fee. Don't fill up on bread, even though it was so good, you'll need room for everything else.

    Simply put, this is my favorite restaurant...anywhere. The food and staff/service is second to none - the best homemade breads and fresh-from-the-oven rolls you will ever have. Delicious salads that accompany every entree with scratch-made dressings (the beet vinaigrette is my favorite). The dinners are across-the-board excellent. My go-to (pictured here) is the beef tips and mashed potatoes, served with garlic butter and gravy. Clifford's is everything you could want in a special dining experience. Just make sure you book ahead, as they typically are booked up two months out.

    What a phenomenal experience. There's a reason there is a multi-month wait for reservations. We watched table after table leave and make another reservation on their way out. We ended up doing that too. The atmosphere, food, and service were just outstanding. There's no point in gushing about the particulars. I'll just say, the chocolate caramel tart I had was the best dessert of my life.

    Good service, good food, reasonably priced wine - what is there not to like?

    I was so looking forward to our dinner at Clifford's but was left unimpressed. We were greeted by the hostess who was so kind and welcoming! After seating us she went over a list of the available specials, all from memory, and then left us with the menus. There were quite a few options and many sounded drool worthy. Ultimately we ordered the raclette, the surf and turf (one with just the crab cake and one with crab cake and shrimp), the French onion soup, and a salad with beet dressing. We ended up with three or four different types of bread to start and overall they were good. Two types were heavily salted but one in particular was super delicious. The raclette came out fast but was lacking flavor. I loved the concept - potatoes, cheese, and pickles - but the execution just wasn't there. The French onion soup was full of onion but overall lacked that French onion flavor. The salad was a basic salad but the dressing was good. A tad sweet for my liking but a fun option. Up to this point the service was fine but our entrees took a really long time to come out. I'm not sure what the hold up there was. That said they came out piping hot and the steaks were cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes were creamy and had some kind of garlic butter on them which was good but also lacking something. The scalloped potatoes were cooked wonderfully but needed a stronger cheese flavor. The fresh broccoli and carrots were cooked very well and tasted good. The shrimp were overcooked, sadly. The crab cakes were the best thing on the plates - very good for restaurant crab cakes. I wanted so much to love this meal after hearing neighbors and friends rave about the food but for us it missed the mark, especially considering the price.
