"We got a flyer advertising "St. Patrick's Day" at Clementines. We made our reservations about three weeks early and the flyer made it look like they would have music and definitely Corned Beef and Cabbage. Our reservation was for 5pm and we were told they had "just a few" corned beef/cabbage meals left. This indicated to me that they had not planned well. If they were just about out at 5pm what did they have planned for the dinner hour?
Our service was great as usual, but the two corned beef/cabbage orders we received were horrid. All fat and no flavor. We actually did not feel bad about sending them back. We'll go back to "The Brass Door" to celebrate St. Pat's day from now on. Clementines dropped the ball on this one."

"Clementine's has good Southern style food at reasonable prices. I had the catfish dinner and my wife had the fried chicken. Both were very good. We also shared a bowl of gumbo. It was the best gumbo I've had in the Bay Area. We will definitely return."

"delicious food, good service, nice adult beverage offerings. My family and I visited during the afternoon for brunch and it was lovely. I look forward to returning in the evening for an adult experience. Family and I enjoyed brunch in the main dining area and would have liked to enjoy the jazz band playing in the bar, but was not very audible from our seats."

"Best prime rib I've had in YEARS! The Hurricanes were DELISH and the beignet finish was delightful. Very happy and the whole experience was made better by our waiter, Phillipe, always being attentive and helpful. We will always ask to be seated in his section when we return. Thank you Clementines!"

"My three brothers and I enjoyed a fantastic meal at Clementine's on Tuesday 3/5/13. The food, service and portions were excellent. We finished our meal and sat and talked for about an hour without being bothered, the place wasn't busy so we weren't taking up a table that was needed. We tipped our waitress really well for a great job and we will definitely come back next time my brother is in town and we all can get together again."

"This was our first visit to Clementine's. I was surprised by how busy it was which was a good sign. We started with fried green tomatoes which were not very good, in my opinion. The remoulade served with it was outstanding, though. We also shared a cup of gumbo which was could but we would've liked it better if it was a little spicier and the roux was darkened more. My husband had the Jambalaya and was very pleased with it. It is spicy. I had the Blackened Steak which was exceptional! Cooked to perfection and very tender. We'd go back!"

"The food was good. Drinks were too strong (peach martini). Ordered a mojito, had it taken back because it tasted watered down and tasted like soap. Our waiter was forgetful, asked him for straws 3 times! He was rude to another worker infront of us."

"Everything was above average except the drinks..ordered a Sazerac, it was not even close to being what they make in NOLA and the Hurricane, same thing.
Need to put Hurricane in a Hurricane glass for the total effect and got to make the Sazerac close to what you get in NOLA!!
Other than that we have been there 4-5 times and enjoy it each time we go!"

"We went there on Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras and the place was all decorated up really nice. The service was very good as was the food. I had the special of the day and was glad I did. After we ate we went into the bar area and listened to the band they had that night, it was great!! Had it not been a Tuesday and not in New Orleans we would have stayed till they closed.It was a real nice and fun evening. This is our 3rd time to Clementine's and we will be back."
