Claudes Prime Seafood

Great service from Sue & Vince , lobster bisque soup had great flavor, the scallop dish was full of flavor ! ORGASMIC ! Tastebuds were def satisfied!!! Comp Bread was def different as you got the old bay kick out of it which was great .Drinks were in good ,proportion mixed perfectly. My aunt enjoyed the mahi dish. It was very good as well.deliciousness as she put it. The crab cake was well seasoned , though I prefer lump to them as I find on the coastal eateries. Which is where I hail from. Cesar salad needs Something . But I'll definitely highly recommend this establishment in the future for a romantic dinner or just for some great seafood. ENJOY

met a few of my gal pals for dinner mid-week. we made a reservation, but it wasn't needed as the establishment was not busy at all. the restaurant is huge with ample seating for small and large parties. our waitress was great. she disappeared a few times, but she was attentive. shortly after being seated, we ordered drinks - a few were not made correctly - and our entrees. i opted for the wedge salad, which was great, and the salmon dish. i was not a fan at all. the salmon was slightly overcooked; not flaky at all. and the sauce felt like it was thrown on top last minute versus being marinated or cooked in it. the taste was similar to something i'd find in a grocery store. it was weird. for a seafood establishment, you'd think they would nail their seafood dishes. wasn't horrible, but not sure if i'll be back.

Definitely a nice ambiance restaurant with great seating and service. Our server really was lovely and accommodating despite a few missing items on the drink menu. My drink was fabulous.Honestly the food for me was underwhelming. The mains were good, nothing to write home about. The appetizers and dessert for both me and my partner were just bland. I guess for the reputation and the price, me expectations were not met

I wanted to love this place. I really did. I awaited their opening for months. I am sad even writing this, because when we went, this place was a total miss. Service was lackluster, the menu to me did not offer much of a variety of seafood (minus the seafood tower), I wasn't impressed with the wine list, and I was just overall expecting a lot more.We went when they first opened, so maybe they were still figuring it out. I will try again, but overall right now, this is a no from me.

Celebrating our 2 year anniversary we had an absolutely wonderful meal. The place was nice and quiet and beautiful. I had the salmon and my husband got the scallops and steak. Everything was delicious. Even the bread and butter was good. Got dessert to go. Some kind of cake and ice cream. It barely made it back to the hotel. Would definitely go back if we are in the area.

Update (06/23): The new summer menu is great! The staff is still as friendly as ever and truly amazing! The king crab tempura is delicious. The lobster ravioli is very lemon-forward and I wish there was more sauce with it; the pasta could also be thinner. I will definitely come again to try their summer menu and the ambiance!

My first visit; impressed. Claude's is located in new construction and no detail has gone unnoticed. The place decorated in a meticulously sophisticated style that's classy yet warm and inviting. The bar is huge and great place to unwind. Just wanted to sample a few things but still ended up full with leftovers for later. Our server Kierra split all of our portions when we told her we were sharing; so thoughtful!Oysters Rockefeller were outstanding as were the popovers; I had to ask for more. The Caesar Salad was one of the BEST I've ever had served with creamy soft boiled eggs and a cloud of finely shredded Parmesan cheese. The lobster bisque was full of tender chunks of lobster and so creamy. Perfect date night spot or large enough for family gatherings. Looking forward to discovering the rest of the menu.

Came here because we were really impressed by their small bites at the recent "Zoo to Do" event. This restaurant is new, very pleasantly modern and featured a friend of ours playing the piano during dinner. On a Friday evening the large restaurant was packed and very noisy. A quiet conversation (or any conversation at all) wasn't possible. So we people watched, listened to the music and ate.We started with popovers. A great idea, but just slightly over baked. My husband had the lobster roll and fries, and very much enjoyed his meal. I opted for the lobster bisque followed by the lobster nicoise salad. The bisque was very smooth and included a nice amount of lobster chunks. (Much better than bisques which only have a slight taste of lobster and little or no meat.) I could not detect the sherry at all, but this is fine with me as it often overpowers the soup. This one could have used a dash of salt though. The nicoise salad was somewhere between the size of a side salad and an entree salad. (I was glad I'd had the bisque.) The vinagrette was JUST a tad tart, but the marinated tiny black olives were perfect with the soft egg quarters, greens, potato quarters and three smallish lobster claws. Overall just under 4 stars. We'd like to try it again earlier in the day and not on a weekend evening. The seafood entrees are on my list to try.

To be honest, we expected *much* more. We love Benchmark, and when we heard they were opening a seafood restaurant across the parking lot, we had to try it out. Clearly a lot of money and thought went into this space, and while the scope is impressive, the design choices feel immediately dated, and the food was uninspired.From the overcooked, stale tasting popovers, to the poorly shucked oysters, the details were all off. My wife's seasonal gnocchi was expertly crafted, with the pieces of potato pasta floating lighter than air... but it was completely drenched in a sickly sweet sauce that made it feel like dessert. It lacked any pop of brightness or contrast, and would have been much better as a side dish, than as an entree. My seabass was remarkably well cooked, clearly showing the passion for seafood in the kitchen. But the fried green tomatoes the fish sat on, were too thickly breaded and bland, and surrounded by grits that were so congealed, they were polenta. The individual ingredients seemed high quality, but the lack of seasoning or even any notable herbs really left me disappointed.That said, everything felt *close* to being really good. But like hotel food, which often caters to the lowest common denominator, what we experienced on our first visit was too one note for us to try again.

Went for NYE dinner, the service was absolutely a joke (probably the worst I've ever had) Don't get me wrong the place makes amazing food. probably some of the best food around the 419 imo. immediately upon being seated was told that drinks would take a while - they ran out of glasses, no biggie. placed all our orders, 1.5 hours later we were told our food order was never put in. Now it's 15 minutes to closing time and the kitchen is out of some of the best menu items. The manager attempted to make up for this, but in my opinion fell short. I don't know if I'll be back, but hopefully this doesn't happen again, the food here is too good for this.
