About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
SINCE 1884, We've been serving up the same things: fresh food, frosty drinks and good, old-fashioned conversation.

We could talk for hours about our history, our star-studded cast of diners, blah blah blah. But, for now, that's beside the point. Grab yourself a stool at the bar and order a cold one.

Come in once, we'll know your name.
Twice, we'll know your order.
Three times, and you're family.

    Was hosting a work event and we were jammed at a small table off the bar. Previously they placed us in a private room. Be sure to call them about that detail. Lesson learned.

    Horrible, non existent service. Waited 45 minutes for burgers on a quiet Monday night. Server couldn’t even be bothered to refill our drinks. Food was fine, but not good enough to make up for the terrible way this restaurant was run. Will certainly not return.

    The service was exceedingly poor. We dined outside and everything entailed a long wait. The waiter could have used much better training re serving, clearing, remembering things like refilling water after it was requested etc. My salad with salmon was adequately prepared but the portion for the price point was exceedingly small. I left hungry.

    Heather, the hostess on Friday at lunchtime, was amazing. She was so attentive and kind that she made our meal!

    Had a really nice lunch with some co-workers. The menu is varied -- we ended up all getting salads which were great, but also know a good place for seafood and burgers. Service was great.

    I just love this PJ Clarkes. Great ambiance, excellent service too! I enjoy the crispy chicken dish. Plenty of good food choices. Highly recommend 😊
