Best Locals Place On The Beach.
I am not sure what the last two reviewers experienced, but I have been dining at Carke's religously for the last 4 years. Laura, the owner is amazing and the food continues to impress. From
traditional Irish fair to a Filet Mignon, you are sure to love the food. The dialy specials are always great and the beer and wine selection are outstanding.
Clarke's is a must eat on the beach!…
Past Its Prime. I think the restaurant is definitely past its prime. No effort to keep the food as fresh and interesting as when they first opened a few years ago, and the prices are high for the value. The ever-present owner seems to have lost her zeal for the business -- seeming crabby and unwelcoming at the door.…
Such a shame.....
So sad- this place used to be one of my husband and my favorite hangouts - both for food and for the quick drink here and there. I don't know if there's been a change in management or what's
happened over the past few months, but the service has gone way downhill (with the food quality not far behind it).
This includes a weekend bartender, Jerry, who is downright obnoxious to female patrons - I happen to know two other women besides myself who've made complaints to the management, apparently to no avail.
The final nail in the coffin for us though, (after all, it is a pub, and we were never expecting Ritz style service here), was the increasingly egregious erosion of basic standards of cleanliness which we first noticed late this spring .
From being seated at not quite clean tables to seeing a waitress exit the ladies' room without washing her hands (I kid you not, it was right in front of a friend and I!) A friend of mine swears she has spotted an unappetizing cockroach or two around the dining area, but I can't directly attest to this as I fortunately was spared that ordeal (!).
Bottomline - A shame this formerly charming, fun (clean!) place has gone so to seed... Do yourself a favor and save your money - the prices are FAR from those you'd expected of the textbook hole-in-the- wall Clarkes' has become :-(…
My favorite Restaurant / bar. My favorite place to go. Have been here a dozen plus times. Clarke's is comfy and serves great food. Love the crispy cabbage rolls appetizer ( with corned beef and mashed potatoes) whoa! Great wine selection and ice cold "Stella" on draught (highly recommend with a fresh baked pretzel). Excellent friendly service too.…
Love It. I've been to Clarke's a bunch of times, sometimes for drinks and others for dinner. The staff is great, the beer is great and the food is excellent. It's become one of those "regular" places. You know the type, where you don't mind going back to again and agaian and again.…
