    Great service, but disappointed that the burger is no longer on the menu.
    The ClamResponded on May 23, 2026
    Hi Mark! Happy yo hear that our service hit the mark. Apologies on the burger. However we will be reintroducing our classic double cheese burger to our Lunch Menu in the very near future. In the meantime, join us for lunch or dinner on any Sunday (we're offering the burger as an all day special on Sundays). Hope this helps, and we look forward to hosting you again soon.

    I had a great experience at The Clam. The seafood was cooked to perfection, and the wine by the glass list is genuinely strong—I especially enjoyed the Sicilian white. The staff was attentive and welcoming, and the manager, Alex, was especially friendly and checked in on us a few times. You can tell he knows how to run a restaurant; the place just feels well cared for. I’ll definitely be back.

    Hi Phil! It was an absolute pleasure to host you. Thank you so much for your kind words. It's a joy to work with a group so focused on providing memorable experiences for our guests. We look forwarding to welcoming you back in the future! -Alex

    It was Valentine's Day and the place was packed. We had an incredible 4-course dinner. Although the tables were tight, we felt like we were in an intimate spot. The food was exceptional. We have been there on 3 times. Once for an event, the second for Mother's Day and this time for Valentine's Day. Each time was great. You will not be taking a chance dining there. Make the reservation now.
    The ClamResponded on March 6, 2026
    Hi Zachary! We're beyond thrilled that you enjoyed your Valentine's day with us at The Clam. Our team loves helping guests celebrate life’s special moments here in the West Village. We'll be celebrating Easter with a special Sunday Brunch Prix Fixe. Maybe we'll see you there!
