I dine out a lot. When I decided to try Claremont, I wasn't sure what to expect. Dallas is saturated with Vandelay restaurants, and they've really taken over the dining scene.In my neighborhood, Preston Hollow, there are several Vandelay restaurants within walking distance of my house.If I head a couple of miles south to Snyder Plaza, the density increases exponentially.There are seven or eight locations there alone. Go north past LBJ to Beltline? More. Around SMU? Again, more.It seems like everywhere you turn, there's a Vandelay concept. Don't get me wrong--they're good. I wouldn't call them great, but they're solid.Claremont, however, brought clarity and elevated the dining experience that I think Vandelay is trying to achieve.From a service perspective, Claremont was superior. From a food perspective, it was leagues better--while still delivering that trendy, upscale-casual vibe reminiscent of most Vandelay or Hillstone-owned spots.If I have one complaint about Claremont, it's that the food came out too quickly. They were so dialed in that there was very little time between courses.For two people, we were in and out in about 35-40 minutes, with one cocktail each, two appetizers, and a $130 pre-tip check. That's quick--almost too quick.A dinner experience like this should take closer to 45 minutes to an hour to feel more balanced.So, what did we eat?We had the burger, which I'd rank in the top three in Dallas. Seriously. It was perfectly crafted. They clearly either bake their own buns or source them from a quality bakery.The meat filled the bun with perfect proportions, and the flavors--thanks to the jam and grilled onions--were unreal. The patty saturated the lower bun, but the top bun stayed intact, creating an ideal balance of textures and flavors.I'm a tough critic when it comes to burgers in DFW, but this one blew me away. Oh, and it includes fries--something every $18-20 burger in Dallas should come with but often doesn't (looking at you, Vandelay). With them, fries are à la carte, and your burger ends up being $27.Next up was the tuna tostada. Fresh, crispy, and bursting with the right flavors.The bolognese was another standout--a total hit. After spending a week eating Italian in New York City, my bar for Italian food has been raised significantly, but Claremont knocked it out of the park.To test my theory, I'm going back this Friday to see if they can replicate the experience. If they can, I'll be singing Claremont's praises to everyone I know.For now, this is a must-try if you enjoy the vibes of places like Hillstone, R&D, DLM, Hudson House, Honor Bar, Il Bracco, or Bobby's. Honestly, I'd pick Claremont over all of them right now--and I already did by making another reservation this Friday!

He's done it again! Another great concept.....service, food, ambiance - all elevated while not being pretentious - hometown cozy vibe. That patio is killer once it gets warmer!!!

Claremont is a great new addition to the Dallas dining scene. The ambiance inside is fantastic in that it is warm and refined yet still has a casual flare. We started off with the baked meatballs which were fantastic. The bread that came with them was well made and paired perfectly. We then got a caesar salad and the burger. The caesar salad was excellent and the burger was even better. The french fries were similar to a refined McDonalds (in a great way). The burger was well balanced and had a great flavor. Although we did not get dessert. we were eying them as servers would walk by with them. Overall, this is a great addition to the neighborhood and we can't wait to come back.

Great food and vibes! Got the tuna tostada to start and handhelds for entrees. The burger and sliders were simply the best. Brussel sprouts were crispy and so tasty! Such a great place and will be back to try other items on the menu.

We decided to try this restaurant for an early dinner on New Year's Eve. It was AMAZING! The service was spectacular..we seriously had three different people serving us, we felt very special. The pimento cheese appetizer was delish! Everything was so yummy! I'm very excited to have this wonderful restaurant right in my neighborhood!

Food was fantastic - large portions, with layers of flavors and textures, well-balanced, but still very refined. Service was impeccable, fast, personable, and with a high level of attention to detail. Ambiance was great - cozy and "Dallas casual." The tuna tartare tostada, pimento cheese, and bolognese were especially amazing. We ordered a ton of food and finished everything but weren't miserably full since everything was light. We will definitely return.

We live nearby and are so excited to have Claremont in the neighborhood. We are long time fans of Beverley's and Green Point, and Claremont has delivered in the same great way. Service is quick and very warm, and all the dishes we've tried have been delicious. This will be a regular for us!
