The Clifton Club

Food is very good but very pricey and portions are extremely small. I have been to the restaurant twice for small group holiday parties two years in a row - both times were mid-week so it was pretty quiet and not busy at all. The decorations and ambiance are nice and staff is very attentive, however both times I was there the wait staff wreaked of cigarette smoke everytime they approached the table. The smell was so strong each time - almost like they were out in the kitchen smoking between courses. This was a big turn off for me. Our small group always has a private room but dinner is served off of the standard dinner menu so I assume the portions and prices are typical of any meal here and the entire menu is á la carté.

I thought this was an OK experience. The food was good, but rather expensive (even if you were a member). You'd think you would get a discounted price of some sort. The service was good also. However, I'm not sure I could tell you what the difference is between this place and any other public restaurant. Maybe I expected something different since this is private. I think one could have a much better experience at Pier W or something like that in the area.

At a baby shower and I'm not aloud to order a mimosa .... Very confused by the staff here. Horrible place. I'm in a old haunted house here.
