"This restaurant's portions are on the small side, but the food is very good. The menu was rather limited. All food is mostly locally sourced. The service was very good and attentive."

"We enjoyed a delicious dinner before the Evasons show last Friday evening. The option of sharing small plates meant we could enjoy a variety of tastes - and that crab dip was the best ever. Wonderful dinner, wonderful entertainment; pleasant neighbourhood, convenient parking. It was a winner!"

"Went thinking it was Clementine's but it has changed. Very pleased to learn when we arrived that Thursday was $10-off- bottle of wine night AND also Happy Hour from 5 - 7 pm with some $5 appetizers! Terrific waitress who had our table ready (needed seating for one in wheel chair) and was most attentive the whole evening. Like the reasonable priced and varied menu - including small plates. Had chicken nachos with great thin, crispy chips ($5), but too much salsa on top made dish soggy. Had fabulous homemade baguette crisps with warm crab dip but crab dip was a bit gooey. Had a nice arugala salad with a little goat cheese; and a shrimp and grits dish that was tasty. Very convenient when seeing show."

"We had reservations at 6:15 and plans to attend a 8:00 clock show
in the same venue and were unable to be served in time. The food
is fair to good the service is slow due to not enough servers
Noise level high unable to carry a conversation Needs work
to become a place you would recommend or go back to.

"We can easily recommend everything that we ordered: mushroom soup with chick peas, field green salad with a lemon vinaigrette, the steamed mussels, blackened catfish and the flourless chocolate cake. A variety of flavors, all balanced and delicious. And of course the draft beers are on the mark."

"This was our first time at Clementine, after reading about it in the City Paper and The Guide, and we really like it. We got the Valentine's Day Prix Fix menu, so it wasn't representative of what they might have normally, and thought it was pretty good as well. Didn't blow our minds, but is definitely worth going to check out a few more times."

"Went for dinner on Valentines Day. They had a pre-fixe menu that was very limited and extremely overpriced ($49/per person). The food was good but nowhere near good enough to justify the price. Wine list was also limited and overpriced. Service was very good."

"Having been to both Clementine locations now, I must admit that I prefer the location in Hamilton. The waitress was wonderful, attentive and friendly, but the portions at the Creative Alliance were very small. The dining area itself felt cramped and it wasn't what I expected having been to the Hamilton location. I will return to the Hamilton location but not to this one."

"Very small portions, especially the braised pig belly, the menu item we wanted (pot pie, was not available, extremely crowded with folks at the bar bumping into us and our table. Will probably skip it the next time we go to a show at Creative Alliance. Much prefer the Clementine on Harford Road."

"This feels like an abbreviated version of a real restaurant, with just enough going on to feed people a pleasant meal before they go to an event at Creative Alliance. Wouldn't say the food was to-die for or displayed a lot of innovation and preparation time, but it is tasty. Try the wild mushroom and arugula salad. Also great cocktails and a good beer selection. Nice friendly laid-back vibe, wait staff very helpful, efficient. Plus you will never be late to a CA performance."
