The Claw Bar

Yes, The Claw Bar is a popular choice for date night. Guests frequently praise the romantic outdoor terrace, attentive service, handcrafted cocktails and live-jazz option upstairs in The London Club. The setting feels like dining on a friend’s stylish patio, and dishes like triggerfish, butterfish and the seafood towers make for a special evening. Reserve a terrace table or request the London Club for a music-filled night.

Portions are generally generous and shareable, guests often order apps to split (cornbread, calamari, lobster & crab pot holes) and the Claw Bar Towers and mains are substantial. Many diners note hearty seafood entrées (lobster tails, stuffed triggerfish) and sides large enough to share. If you like to sample a few dishes, plan to share appetizers and consider the towers for a group.

The Claw Bar is open daily. Current posted hours are Mon–Thu and Sun 10:00 AM–9:00 PM, and Fri–Sat 10:00 AM–10:00 PM. Guests commonly enjoy brunch, lunch and dinner service and happy hour offerings within these hours.

Yes, guests report accommodating seating options and the team handled families and mobility needs well (including a guest with a wheelchair). Private rooms have been used for parties, and staff helped with seating moves when weather changed. For special accessibility or family requests, call ahead so they can prepare.

For a lively scene and great cocktails, go during happy hour or early evening; for a quieter meal, aim for weekday lunch or early week dinners. Guests love outdoor terrace seating at sunset, while Friday–Saturday nights and peak season evenings are busiest. If you prefer live music, plan for London Club nights upstairs.

Warm, stylish and lively, think casual-elegant hotel dining with a waterfront-patio feel. Guests frequently praise the outdoor terrace (poolside vibe), attentive service, and upbeat energy at the bar. Nights can get noisy when full, while the London Club upstairs offers a more intimate jazz vibe. Overall it’s polished yet relaxed and ideal for celebrations.

Smart casual is recommended. The restaurant lists a smart casual dress code and guests typically dress neatly for brunch, lunch and dinner. Think polished casual, no need for formal wear, but dress nicely for an elevated hotel-dining experience.

Yes, guests often request seating preferences, booths, private rooms for events, dietary accommodations and celebration touches. The team is cited for helping with birthdays and special occasions (complimentary champagne or desserts). Call ahead and note requests on your reservation to ensure they can prepare.

Yes, families and children dine here regularly and guests celebrate birthdays and family gatherings. There’s a dedicated kids’ menu with classic options (cheeseburger, chicken fingers, pasta). For younger kids consider an early seating or a private room; staff are used to accommodating families.

Busiest: weekend evenings (Fri–Sat), peak season nights and pre-theater times. Quietest: weekday lunches and early-week dinners. Guests love happy hour and sunset patio dining, which also draws a crowd. If you prefer a quieter visit, aim for weekday midday service or an early dinner on Mon–Thu.

It depends on your goal: go Friday–Saturday for lively atmosphere, live music upstairs and a full bar scene; choose Monday–Thursday (or weekday lunch) for a quieter, more relaxed meal. Many guests recommend happy hour midweek for deals and a lively but less crowded experience.
