The look and feel when walking in was warm and inviting. We were early for our reservation, but were quickly seated. This is where our dining experience peaked. I agree they were moderately busy, but this was 8 pm and tables were open. Took our server over 10 min to greet us and go over the special. Then another 15 min to take our order. We got our soup 10 min later, but never did get our appetizers. By the time we got our Entree, at one hour and 10 min, our waiter had apologized to one table for forgetting their drink orders, another table for getting their entree out really late and yet another for delivering drinks to their friends down the way ---- but gave them to the wrong table!! The Entrees were quite good, but had sat in a warming light before we got them. This type of food service should be plated and immediately delivered and ours was not. We were finished with our entree but no one checked on us or cleared our dishes for 15 min after we were done. Eventually our waiter came and realized he had not brought the appetizer. We asked for a dessert menu where he said, "how about I get you your appetizers now for free and then you can order dessert" (we've been here over 2 hours....) we declined, ordered dessert, received it in 15 min. I paid with a gift card from a dear friend and work buddy and my CC. Of course our waiter rang the entire bill on the CC and didn't apply the gift card. Aarg!! Another 10 min to fix that! Location; 9 Food: 7 Service: 2 Would really like to support local business's in Warrenton, but unfortunately Claire's is off the list. For as much as your going to pay.....I expect much more. We went the next day with our family to Firehouse in Gainsville. As an upper scale "chain" restaurant their service was EXCELLENT, waiters were attentive, support staff flawless, and food was much better than Claire's. Prices were as high as Claire's but we will definitely go back. Quick service, no delays and these guys were packed with customers the entire day and they were spot on!

Well deserving of four or more stars. Outstanding menu and service. I'll be back again. If you plan on coming call ahead for reservations.

Wonderful, have dinner there twice a week...been doing it for ten years!

My wife and I took our daughter and her husband out for her early birthday dinner and heard good things about Claire's. We made reservations and went there on Saturday 11/16/2013. The service was good the food excellent and the atmosphere was very nice but the bar drinks were not very good. They were served very strong to cover up the lack of experience of knowing how to fix a mixed drink correctly. My wife and I ordered a margarita and they were terrible. I ordered a Jim Beam and Club soda and it was awful. I would recommend this place even though it is a bit pricey.

My wife and I had a belated Valentines day dinner last Saturday night here. I made reservations early in the week for 7:30. We arrived and it was packed! We were acknowledged right away by the staff and told it would be a few minutes - no sweat. There were also a few other couples waiting. We stood near the bar and I ordered Wild Turkey 101 for me and Grey Goose for her. The bartender stated that they do not carry Wild Turkey at all. Big disappointment. The bartender was too busy to assist me with other choices of Bourbon, just pointed to the rack behind the bar. At our table now with-out our alternate drink order, seemed to be some confusion over that as should we now re-order or wait? Seating was very nice with view of the side fireplace. Service was prompt, and attentive with a smile. Our appetizer was the coconut shrimp with peanut sauce which was not as good as I would have expected. It definitely was frozen, pre-packaged like you would get at Outback steakhouse, but the peanut sauce was light and buttery. I had the Depot mixed grill that was good, but again sub-par considering the price point. The Filet portion was undersized, but prepared correctly and tender. The garlic sausage portion was oversized, but good. Rounding off the final trio of the grilled mix was shrimp skewer, overdone and very dry over what looked like mashed potatoes from a box................ My wife had the stuffed porkchops which were generous in portion, cooked perfectly and seasoned with balance. She loved it! At the end our desserts were very good as well with the waitress giving my wife a nice single rose, just prior to leaving! As we were exiting, the bartender appologized for the earlier brush-off concerning the Bourbon choices (or lack of). Overall it was a very good experience, but some of the meal was not up to what we expected. The service / staff made up for it. The decor is ultra-cool (for Warrenton) and clean. We would go back and try again.
