    Came to celebrate two bdays, server was slow to get drinks going, she came and went , had to flag her down several times for refills or more food. Music got unnecessarily loud, We had asked few times to lower the volume because it began to become overwhelming with the bass and few party conversations were stopped and startled from it. Food was good- we sent back a steak for reheat becUse it was too blue for our medium taste. certain drinks were hit and miss, in the sense of consistency. He has ordered mojitos, some were intense with mint others hardly had any. The fun cocktails listed alongside their charcuterie board and a few beef empanadas were both satisfying and delicious. This ambience definitely makes concept of time stop motion while with your party, endless ticks of excitement combined with the palatable food and its fruity refreshing cocktails certainly made our time their limitless.

    This is terrible. I asked to be sat at a table with lighting because I am a content creator. And got sat in the corner. The waiter took forever to come and we decided to leave to go somewhere else and the waiter chased us to pay 6.50 for water. And didn’t even give us the bottle of water. We only drank the water he poured. The food around us had no smell. It was a terrible experience. Wouldn’t recommend and definitely will be posting this ‼️. I put in my reservation request we needed to sat somewhere with light and they didn’t even take that request serious. I have 1 mil on tik tok. Come on now.

    This restaurant left much to be desired, with both the food and environment. The clock seems like they are trying to pass off as a high restaurant but are most certainly not. The service was terrible and lacking. Our waiter disappeared and when we came to realize it was because he was tending to a larger party. This is not acceptable and he should of done better. We sat there for a long time before we got a bill or anyone asked if we needed anything. We saw multiple tables who arrived after us leave before. In addition, food was just terrible. Menu is terrible and lacking any choices. We had to send back multiple items because they were cold and everything simply lacked taste. It was also clear they just popped them in a microwave with how quick they returned. The beans and rice had no flavor, plus were cold. The macaroni, broccoli and our other appetizers all cold. When paying $300, I expect quality and this was simply not it. I don’t recommend this place at all, there are much better places to go and you can even spend less.

    It was a fabulous meal and wonderful service! It was a valentine redo due to horrible experience that night at another place. Thank you for the treat! It was right behind the concert venue we visited earlier. We will definetly be back when we are in the area. The cocktails looked devine.

    I truly loved The Clock , the ambiance , food and Mark the server was outstanding. The Manager had initially set a table not in the best location , he was nice to offer to switch our tables which really emphasizes the view and ambience of the restaurant’s. decor and music. I do recommend this restaurant if you want the best steak and atmosphere.

    Unfortunately, couldn’t order the food because our server came for our drink orders, and then wasn’t seen again. Rated 1 star because we didn’t eat, and I can’t post my review unless I rate everything. Definitely have to go on a slow day. Ambience is beautiful, drinks are good, maybe next time we can order food. I got the Tropical Mango martini, very delicious.
