★★★★★ 5.0 Maegan Irwin · Sep 2025

I stopped in here for dinner, as I was staying across the street at the Hyatt, and it was definitely worth it. The food was incredible and the service was amazing. Jeffrey was my server and we chatted briefly whenever he checked in on me and he made sure I had plenty of iced tea and water. I had a great dinner of shrimp cocktail, Caesar salad and a baguette. The house-made Caesar dressing and cocktail sauce were both fantastic. I finished dinner with their key lime pie. 100% will visit again!

Food was great, atmosphere was fun and active. It did get crowded and a bit loud (I didn’t mind) but was still an enjoyable time. My two drinks were great and my crab cakes were delicious. Not a place for a quiet meal, more like after work dinner and drinks. Our server was awesome and attentive. *my short clip was before the crowd arrived* Sat down at about 6:30pm and left around 8:30pm on a Wednesday

I absolutely love this place! The food is delicious and the service is very quick and friendly. Highly recommend the truffle fries and the crab dip!

Welcoming staff and a warm atmosphere in the dining room. Bar area was busy, but didn't disturb the quiet of the main dining area. Fish and chips was good - warning the fries are shoestring fries. Well breaded and flaky. Mac and cheese had huge chunks of bacon and pees - great sauce, really excellent flavor.

★★★★★ 5.0 James Masciuch · Feb 2026

Food is excellent but we love this place for the staff and service. We love going into the city on winter weekends with our toddler to visit the museums and PJ Clarke’s has been a goto for dinner at the end of the night.
