Stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant and was extremely pleased. They are doing it right. When I find a restaurant that has a menu that intrigues me, I create my own rating experience and order everything. The Beet salad was awesome. The the swordfish was prepared perfectly. The ricotta cavatelli . The Desserts ?.
I was only in San Antonio for a short time, but this dining experience was memorable.
I'll be back to order the other half of the menu, but I was told it's a seasonal menu, so when I get back, I'm open to trying what ever the chef puts on the menu.

One of my top 5 Dining places in San Antonio TX !
Its owners are accomplished Culinary geniuses! Reservations I like to say are a must. The food is creative and very tastefully blended. I generally get the Chefs Choice multi served creation. This night the Pork Belly was an absolute 5 Star creation for the most amazing taste ? I have ever had. This is the best Pork Belly and number two can barely be seen with binoculars. The seating at the chefs kitchen is great view of the staff at work.
I must report when it’s 1/2 full or more the acoustics are notably every poor so having a romantic or another kind of conversation at dinner will be a challenge.
Enjoy !

Okay, so. I’m a couple months late on this review, but we finally got the chance to celebrate our two year anniversary. We opted to sit back and let them bring us dishes and just enjoy the experience. I’m going to try my best to describe what all we had.

1st Course: Roasted red and golden beets with Gorgonzola topped with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. “Wouldn’t have ordered this, but so delicious.” -Jordan

2nd Course: Quail crispy fried in beef tallow coated in a sticky siracha-y honey rested in a spicy mayo ?

3rd Course: The most delicious green beans ever. Salty. Spicy. Creamy. Punchy. So good.

4th Course: Roasted Japanese yam with a black garlic butter in a pumpkin romesco.

5th Course: Pan seared opah nestled on top of a farro salad covered in a buttery buerre-blanc sauce.

6th Course: Chocolate raspberry flan.

7th Course: Clementine Crunch Bar. Chocolate mousse, chocolate ganache, roasted HAZELnuts, clementine sherbet.

Bonus: Salted walnut praline chocolate chip cookie.

Phenomenal meal. Great service.

This was our first time here. It was recommended by our credit card. We got greeted right away and they had our reservation ready. It’s an America restaurant with French infusion and they nailed it. The unique flavors make the experience u forgettable. We got the beets salad with generous portions and surprise ingredients like chocolate. As entree we got the chicken with chimichurri with the apples on the side. And that’s where they dropped the ball. The apples were amazing! Savory blend of squash and apples topped with peanuts makes any dish taste better. On the other hand the chicken was mediocre. Half chicken just pressed against the grill with no presentation; no micro greens or anything to make it more appealing. Disappointed for the $38 price tag. We needed the evening with coffee and desert and the chocolate mouse with vanilla ice cream was a good selection. Be aware that the plates are family style and that they have an $88 prefix secret options not listed on the menu. Service is ok and it can get overcrowded pretty easy and food takes its time to be served.

My husband and I celebrated my birthday at Clementine at everything was fantastic! The Chef was so kind to make my husband “sweetbreads”… which were not on the menu. ? The service was spot on and we had such a lovely evening ❤️

The birthday celebration was fantastic, featuring delicious and flavorful food. The dessert was particularly noteworthy—rich and perfect for sharing with others.

We were visiting from DC and read great reviews and had high hopes for a pleasant evening. However, immediately upon entering we were hit with jarring noise—so much we had to speak in raised voices the entire evening to hear just half of what the table was saying. We ordered two apps and three sideboards to share as starters. But the waitress brought out the sideboards with the entrees even though it was clear we wanted them as a starter course. The oysters were ok but very sandy and small and the smoked lebneh was the best part of the plate. The flame tart had good flavor but for the price the presentation lacked luster. It goes downhill from there. The eggplant was very bland and the cook was inconsistent—some pieces were under. The squash was both charred and undercooked with the only flavor being spice from the hummus. The cavatelli had good flavor in the sauce but although ricotta based each was a tough giant lump. Of the entrees the scallops were the only one that lived up to a James beard recognition. The risotto was under and crispy and the truffle lacked freshness to give any aroma. The snapper skin was soggy and the base unrecognizable. The $70 10 oz steak was served on a cold plate with no accompaniments. The service was no better than the food and they must know the food was lacking because no one asked how it was. The experience kept going downhill when they double charged us for the wine which was over priced to begin with. We couldn’t get out fast enough. Coming from DC we are all too happy to pay for good food. But at $100 a head this restaurant does not deliver. Don’t let the pictures fool you. Flavor matters and it just wasn’t there.
