I had dinner in December and the whole place was so warm and inviting. I loved the vibe. I had a drink at the bar and the couple next to me recommended the lobster sliders and said the green beans were perfect. I did order the sliders and they were great. Very enjoyable. I lived in the area for a few months and wished I had discovered this earlier, but heading there tonight from out of town!

Everything about this place shines. The atmosphere is great. Outside seating is secure and heated. The service is really friendly and speedy. Oh, the food! Everything is so fresh. Just get a bottle of reasonably priced wine and order all of the signature appetizers. You won’t regret anything! Watch out for the homemade chips that come with the clam dip, they are addicting…

I was recently in town (8/20) from Austin, TX with a good friend from Reno, NV - all he wanted was some fried clams and everyone pointed us in the direction of The Clam. The waitress we had was absolutely amazing - spot on service. My friend asked if he could just have a plate of fried clams instead of the lobster and clam slider and the chef had no problem accommodating the request. Needless to say my friend was thrilled and thoroughly enjoyed the clams. I ordered the PEI muscles and they were so tasty. Oh and we are originally from the Boston area so the Parker House rolls were an added extra!!! The sorbet for dessert was the icing on the cake. We will definitely be back on our next visit to the city
The atmosphere added to the whole experience. I would highly recommend this charming restaurant to anyone seeking some wonderful seafood.

My in-laws from Md and NJ came into the city to see Come From Away and then had dinner at The Clam. A party of 8 we had a great time, we were looked after quite well and the food came out without issue. This was my wife’s and I 3rd time and were not disappointed.
The food was very tasty, oysters, clam dip, chowder, octopus, etc...and their IPA in draught was delicious. Reservations are recommended.
Enjoy

I was really looking forward to visiting The Clam and was not disappointed.
The service was prompt and attentive there was a lively atmosphere.
My partner and I shared a starter of Clam Dip with Citrus Chips this was so yummy. I ordered the Swordfish which was very tender and juicy.
My partner order the Branzino Fish which also cooked nicely we shared a side of Old Bay seasoned fries very tasty.
The only downside to my meal was that was not hot enough but my partner's meal was fine.
I would urge anyone wanting excellent seafood cooked well to go to The Clam.

I’ve been to many destinations but this was my first trip to NYC. A local who is a friend of mine recommended The Clam, as well
as other restaurants for dinner. I looked it up and based on the menu and the stellar reviews I chose it for my first meal in NYC. We could not have been more happy about that decision. The food, was delicious. The atmosphere was loud but not too loud with great music playing. The outside seating is as beautiful as the inside. And the service was exemplary. Everyone was so friendly. They even gave us a free dessert since it was my first time to NYC. Dime where the locals dine is the best way to ensure a great experience. And The Clam is a local favorite. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the city.

This was a friend's suggestion, I hadn't been before. The service was fantastic and the food was SO GOOD. We started with the oysters, split the kale ceasar (this was really, really good), had the lobster arrancini (this was actually our least favorite BUT still good... I just think the menu has better things). For our mains, we shared the clam pasta (this was a ten - a must, if you ask me) and the lobster clam sliders (epic and so creative!!). I loved everything we ate and can't wait to come back.

Still one of my favorite restaurants in the West Village. I return every trip and the experience always lives up to amaze me. Even when at times it can be noisy they went out of their way to move our table to a more quiet space... and they were booked up!

Have not been here since te the pandemic. Always gracious and kind service but not today. Host gave us the worst table all the at outside to the side of the restaurant. Refused to give table just outside of the restaurant. Of course, when sitting so isolated, service isn’t great and feel kind of abandoned. Clam chowder was ok with under cooked potatoes. Spring rolls were good but a bit too salty. Clam and lobster sliders were good but not amazing. Mystery vodka drink w cucumber was watery.
After this experience I will not be going back. I know plenty of better places where hosts are more gracious.

The food was very good but quite pricey and a limited menu. The lobster and crab sliders were delicious as well as the crab dip and chips. The drinks were overpriced but good as well. The service was also very good.

We had a great dinner at the Clam on a rainy night in NYC. We had the clam dip (chips were the standout), fried clam slider (fried clams were amazing) and the clam spaghetti- (wonderful dish). Service was friendly and timely. We loved it!

We stumbled upon this gem and very happy we did. The crap dip with house made chips, spring rolls and the clam and lobster sliders were absolutely delicious. Wine list is lovely as well with some good happy hour options. We sat at the bar and had the best service! Definitely will be coming back next time we are in NYC.

We have often eaten at Little Owl but only recently did we find out that the same owners operate The Clam. So we went. Excellent in every way. Great drinks and food - as we've come to expect from the Little Owl. I wish the music was slightly lower. We are mid 60s and it was difficult to talk to our friends. But terrific staff and just an excellent dinner.

Just an overall excellent dining experience. Outstanding service from all the staff, and in particular our server Carla. Our two main dishes, the sea bass and spaghetti with clams were great, as were the appetizers, mussels and shrimp. Just a great all around restaurant.

We found the Clam last year, and ate there twice in two days. If you love seafood then you will not be disappointed. The team at the clam really know how to make fresh, zingy dishes, and let the seafood talk for itself.
From the Small sweet Oysters to the cucumber gazpacho starter and the main course, brill, which was succulent flesh, crispy skin, perfectly seasoned and cooked.
Just a great chilled restaurant, great vibes, great staff, superb seafood and a place I traveled from Miami to visit and was disappointed.
