    When choosing our table with find a table, I wasn't sure what high-top meant, but I assumed it meant a high seat for a good view of the river. I was wrong. It was a seat right next to the server station. We could see the river through the little window in the wall next to our table, as we looked down into the glass lined dining area where the luckier folks were sitting.

    Beautiful restaurant with a wonderful view! We were in town for a conference and decided to try Clinkerdagger after receiving a coupon from our hotel. Not only we enjoyed our lunch, but decided to go back again! The food is good and the menu has quite a few options. The view from the patio is absolutely stunning! If you are in the area, you should definitely check it out! One of the best view in town!

    We went for Christmas dinner and had an amazing experience. We had an 8:30 p.m. reservation, and while the restaurant was running a bit behind, the friendly hostess offered us seats at the bar, which turned out to be a great decision. Nicholas and Beau took excellent care of us—they were both incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and welcoming. They offered thoughtful insights into the menu and made spot-on recommendations. Our favorite dish was the almond scallops—hands down the best scallops we’ve ever had.

    We chose this restaurant for our anniversary dinner and were really looking forward to a relaxed, enjoyable evening. Unfortunately, the entire experience felt rushed and disorganized from the start, and it quickly went downhill. We were pressured to place our entrée orders before our appetizers even arrived. We explained multiple times that we wanted to wait until the appetizers were served our son was deciding whether he wanted to order the same dish again. Despite this, the server kept returning to ask for entrée orders. Two of us received our appetizers, while the other two waited over 30 minutes. Even during that wait, we were repeatedly rushed to order entrées, which made the evening feel stressful instead of celebratory. For appetizers, one of us ordered the Seared Teriyaki Beef Tidbits, which were enjoyed. Another ordered the coconut shrimp, which was described as very bland. When we finally placed our entrée orders, three of us ordered prime rib (medium), and one ordered the teriyaki beef again. From there, everything fell apart. The teriyaki beef entrée was overwhelmingly salty so much so that it was completely inedible, as if an entire bottle of salt had been poured on it. My prime rib was sent back twice because it was not cooked to medium; it arrived well-done both times. When I pointed this out, the server blamed the lighting rather than acknowledging the issue. My husband’s meal was overcooked the first time and raw the second. The lack of consistency was incredibly disappointing, especially for an anniversary dinner. The potatoes were stiff and so firm they could practically stand upright on a fork. The drinks were extremely watered down. Even our kids commented that their food was overly salty. We never complain or write negative reviews, which makes this especially hard to share. This experience was genuinely heartbreaking, and we left feeling disappointed rather than celebrated. We didn’t even stay for what we assume may have been an anniversary dessert we were simply done. I’m sharing this not to be harsh, but because the restaurant needs to know. We hope this feedback helps prevent other guests from having the same experience.
