RUN FAST. They were HORRIABLE to work with! Susan the "events coordinator" had a bad attitude and told me multiple time how their restaurant is doing me a favor by catoring my wedding . She takes WEEKS to get back to you & her reason is always well the wedding is "far away" (3-2 months always the these times). She stated catering companys dont finalize things till the wedding month. So I didnt receive a finalized contract till last minute working with her. At my wedding they forgot kids meals and served fish instead of chicken when I HATE fish and this was never an option! The owner stated he "didnt know" but he brought a sign that said chicken and served fish.....why would you bring a chicken sign if you "didnt know". Along with this we over payed for guest count because we were so nervous they wouldnt bring enough food. We were suppose to take home 5 plates & they didnt have those 5 plates for us. The food was great! I cant complain about that! They do use local products & companys! The staff did great at my wedding and when they ran out of liquor they did do a beer run. But they are so complicated to work with they added an extra stress that a catering company shouldnt add. Do not use their catering especially for a wedding. The added stress & their errors are not worth using their catering.

Unique Tacos on Tuesday Evenings. So far, Ive only been for Taco Tuesdays, which I was told is THE night to go. The taco selections were interesting + unique, but I wasnt as blown away as I thought Id be. Basically, ~$11 gets you ~4 homemade soft corn tortilla tacos, delicious black beans + rice, & a longneck mexican beer (I opted for the Dos Equis Amber). You have to choose one main taco filling from a selection of ~5 different options (I went with the shredded chicken which was decent while my friends went with the shredded pork which was VERY tasty). You also get 2 different types of salsa, one of which you choose from about 4 different homemade options. They were all decent, but again I wasnt as impressed as Id been hyped up to believe Id be. *Please let it be noted that I strongly prefer soft white flour tortillas over soft corn (though crunchy yellow corn is my favorite), so this may have influenced my overall opinion in a slightly negative way. The restaurant itself is really funky and cool with a great, relaxing atmosphere. It feels like a great place to just hang out in... Ill need to go back on a non-Tuesday to try their other specialties. I need to sample some things from the charcuterie. Ill revise this review whenever that happens.

Have been planning t try this restaurant for some time. Went on a Tuesday which turned out to be Italian nite a stroke of luck since I love Italian food. With the exception of two or three tables the place was pretty much empty. We were seated in a booth and the bus boy brought a four inch square of cold foccacia to the table, No butter and no oil just the dry foccacia. I figured this was an oversight but when I asked the waitress she stated this was the way they serve it. Cold and Dry. We ordered the Rigatoni with meat balls. The pasta itself was nicely cooked al dente but the sauce was very light (I like my pasta lightly sauced but the meatballs had no sauce. They laid on top of the pasta naked, dry and hard. When the food came I ordered a refill on my drink. About ten minutes later when I asked the waitress about my drink she became irritated. Again the place was not busy so there isa no excuse for her lack of attention.

I enjoyed their restaurant before it closed and so I eagerly sent them an inquiry about having them cater a surprise party i was planning. The same day I got an e-mail from the owner stating how much he enjoyed smaller events and how excited he was by the prospect of my party. He also stated the catering director would be in contact with me in the next day or two. A week passed during which I didnt receive any contact. Not by phone or e-mail (and, yes, I checked my spam/junk folder). A few days after that I e-mailed the owner to tell him I hadnt been contacted and that I would be going with another caterer. That was five days ago and there has been no response to that. The owner may be excited by some opportunities but the catering director appears less so. And no one seems interested in following up when inquiries get passed by. It appears to me they have more enthusiasm than ambition. Try them at your own risk.

The food was very good, However the staff was very rude. I took my family out to Clementines mid week at 5 pm (early for any restaurant) after looking down at my well dressed and well mannered son of 9 the host asked with disdain in his voice if we had a reservation. I replied no while looking at the entirely empty restaurant and asked if it was required. He responded in the same tone " No let we see where I can seat you" . We where sat in the entirely empty restaurant next to the kitchen entrance. We were treated as if it was a bother for them for us to be there and they were doing me a favor by serving me. We as a family eat out often and I have to say it was the worst treatment we have received in quite some time. I will not go back to some place I am not welcome and will not recommend it to my friends.

Hands-down, my favorite restaurant in the Lauraville/Hamilton area. (Be sure to try their fresh-baked cakes - if you have room after dinner - or just take a slice to go.) Clementines menu is full of meals youve heard of - but they put their own twist on each one... Theres something here for the meat and potatoes guy and the gastronomic adventurer... Only knock is - its not quiet - especially on a Friday/Saturday night. Tables are close together - so it feels more like a down-home family spot than a fancy restaurant - though many menu items would find themselves at home at a typical fancy spot. Right now, its BYOB... an added bonus. Also, their lunch sandwiches are fantastic... good value for the money - and much cheaper than the dinner entrees, which typically cost $20-25.

We were excited to finally try Clementine but were unfortunately disappointed after a great start to the meal (charcuterie platter). We waited over 40 mins for the charcuterie and were understanding despite the fact that the restaurant was not overcrowded. We assumed it was a fluke but then had the exact same experience waiting on our entrees. Again, we didnt put up a fuss just excepted their apology (one complimentary drink on the house). The worst part was, who appeared to be the chef was out socializing with what looked to be family before dinner service was even over. If things had been running smoothly, maybe this wouldnt have seemed odd, but considering the wait time on our food, it seemed especially unprofessional.

Persuaded my family to go to Clementines after reading a super review of the restaurant. That morning, my family visited a car show in the inner harbor area. Since there was a Ravens game, thought a great sandwich shop - away from downtown - would be perfect since we had afternoon commitments and limited time. We entered a nearly empty restaurant and thought, "great!" Well five good sandwiches, but service took 1 1/2 hours with a handful of other diners!! We didnt expect fast food, but that was very disappointing. My fellow diners were anxious because we were looking at our watches and rarely saw our waitress. She didnt offer any information as to why we received such poor service. wont go back.
