“ HAPPY HOUR!!!! I had a fantastic time with fantastic friends. The bartenders Keith and Jason made us feel as if we were the only people sitting at the bar, of course, we were not There isn't a plethora of food choices on the happy hour menu but I must say the mini lobster rolls were so darn delicious that I ordered both versions, the Connecticut and the Maine. All in all, it was a wonderfully spent two hours filled with great cheers and thunderous laughter!! 7/2024 - BRUNCH For my appetizer I ordered a dozen oysters to share and a Bloody Mary. For the entree we indulged in tuna tartare and chicken & waffle. Our hostess Michelle was extremely helpful and attentive with a beautiful smile and impeccable service. She offered us a dessert menu which we happily obliged. We ordered NY Cheesecake because I'm a NY GIRL and key lime pie. After we stuffed ourselves out was a pleasure to have met CHEF TYLER and told him how delicious his food is and how beautiful the plate presentations were. ”
“ It took me one hour to find a parking spot. This was to walk around to independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. This restaurant is located a block from both. It was a Saturday night and we were able to secure a table tight away. There was a wedding reception going on and it was super loud. It was myself, my wife and one of my children. Mathew S was our server and he was pleasant and attentive. My wife and I had Bloody Mary’s which were really good. I had a Philly cheesesteak which was pretty good a little bit light on the portion size, but acceptable. My wife had three apps as her meal a baguette with special Philly cream cheese, buffalo shrimp and Parmesan truffle fries. My daughter had the kids grill cheese. We enjoyed our meal and the location was great. ”
“ An amazing place for a great brunch! So many great options for my family when they came from out of town. Reasonably priced and impressive portion sizes. Highly recommended for large groups who need a last minute brunch spot over the weekend! ”
“ Pj Clark's was an amazing time. I went for their happy hour, which was from 5:00pm-7:00pm, and my sister and I had a great time. I will be returning. You have to enter in the Curtis building and to the left is Entrance. My waitress/ bartender (Jess) was great; she was polite and she knew the menu- that was my favorite. I can't wait to return. See you there!!!!! ”
“ Such a great place. We started by having cocktails and oysters at the bar. Then went into the dining room for our meal. Staff, service and food was perfect. ”
