We went there for our anniversary and were immediately served a glass of champagne, compliments of the restaurant. The waitress was very helpful in assisting my husband with his order since he is gluten intolerant. He had the muscles which he said were delicious. I had the beet salad which was also delicious. I do wish they would offer a smaller size to that since it is obviously too much for one person. Scallops were fantastic as was the blackened shrimp. We would have liked to have got the whipped feta appetizer if they could have offered fresh cut vegetables to dip since my husband wouldn't be able to eat the bread but were told they only had the cucumbers. Really enjoyed the chocolate creme brulee

I live out of state, but come to this area frequently for work. I come every time I’m in town and love it. Highly recommend the 14oz ribeye medium-rare. It’s always on point!

We went to a winemaker dinner. Each course was paired with a wine from Duckhorn Cellars in California. It was fantastic! Each wine was great on its own, but each also paired well with the food served with it. The second course was a Maple Leaf Farms duck breast. Interestingly, the owners of Maple Leaf Farms were there eating with us! They were friendly and gracious. You meet the best people while dining at Eddie Merlot!!

Our first time at Claude's and what a wonderful experience. The menu was on the smaller side, but that's not a bad thing. Nice selection of food options with many surprise dishes. Korean pork tacos were delicious. Jake our server was simply great and helped with drink selections. Staff was very pleasant. We are looking forward to more dining experiences at Claude's.

We loved our dinner. It was comfortable seating with friendly servers. The restaurant was not busy when we were there . It was easy to find nearby parking on a Friday night in October. We walked down to the Valentine Theater afterwards for a show. Our food was delicious.
