Wow! Well done to Jackie for the attentiveness! You are worthy of the title manager! Even though we haven't booked a table, you still made a plan for us!! The barman Sammy was also great knowing his drinks and helping out at the tables! Thanks to the whole team for making our breakaway extraordinary!!!

We have been a few times over several years, and was very pleased to visit recently and find that although the restaurant was taken over about four years ago; it has gone on to become even better. They have expanded, but maintained and even improved upon it. The food is sublime. The starter green salad had an excellent tasty citrusy dressing. The baked camenbert and fig dish was divine. Not too much and not too heavy. My husband was thrilled to find rhubarb pie, which didn't disappoint. Our guests equally enjoyed their steaks. Wine list was ample. At the end of the evening we met the chef who was charming yet humble, and who apparently makes a point to come out to meet the diners. The owners were there, which we find time and time again very important. They are clearly passionate about their restaurant! A very pleasant experience overall. We love the personal touches and felt special.

Overrated and overcrowded and fine dining this is not!
Kitsch not quaint, food was truly awful!

Visited Clementines Tuesday evening the 9th of July 2013 - Excited to experience the hospitality and food of the restaurant and my daughters and me were totally disappointed... The service was extremely poor and we felt like intruders when sitting there. We had to call the waiter for assitance the whole time. I had the duck dish which would have been delicious if it was not over-cooked with the overcooked potatoes and filo vegetables... the floor manager sat chatting with guests as if she did not care about the customers.... at 20,30 new customers arrived and they were sent away because the kitchen have closed! It was rude sending the customers away... Clementines has a lovely menu, but unfortunately the service was so poor that our whole evening was spoilt by a cold unfriendly atmosphere!

My husband and I had dinner at Clementines last evening and it was superb. Thanks to Shelley for making space for us in an otherwise packed restaurant. We shall definitely be back. PS, to anyone visiting Clarens - make sure you book well in advance otherwise you will be disappointed! All the restaurants were fully booked the whole long weekend!
