What a great place. Took my girlfriend there for a bday dinner. It was great to watch the chefs cook. The place was full but it didn’t feel crowded. The food was AMAZING. We started with focaccia and prosciutto, and the trout caesar salad. Yum! The salad was better than I expected. Really delish. Then we had a fish special with pine nuts, pesto and fried potatoes that was out of this world. And we went for the crab truffle primi even though they ran out of crab. Very rich and good. We had the bucini dessert which also delicious. We had a few cocktails and an orange wine -all really great. Service was just perfect. Would definitely return.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Clarklewis. Classic Northwest Fresh cuisine worthy of a birthday, anniversary or other celebration. We had beet salad, root salad, pizza and pasta and all were top notch. The holiday decor of Noble firs and white lights was simple and stunning. We will return.
