   Like a little part of France tucked away in Oz. Warm welcome, authentic dishes with excellent service. Highly recommend.

   Beautiful dining room right on Oxford Street. The food was very good, especially the chicken florentine, the cheese soufflé, and the duck parfait. The staff were all gracious and friendly.

   This was an experience of extremes really. It’s obviously popular as few empty seats. Best dirty martini ever thanks to the genius behind the bar. However the French onion soup was inedible - it’s served from the bar, rather than the kitchen, was lukewarm with two small croutons floating in it and a weird tomato-y smell. The addition of an egg yolk at the table only made it more unpleasant. They probably need to go back to the drawing board on that one as you could reasonably expect rich, slightly boozy, beef broth, sweet slow-cooked onions and a bowl-sized crouton bubbling with melted gruyere fresh from the grill. The mushroom tart had nice flavours but the pastry was soggy - a reheating issue no doubt. The duck pie was amazing - so delicious! Crispy, tasty and a very generous serve. The highlight of the night. We also had the stuffed zucchini flower special which was great. Probably wouldn’t return.

   Classic French dishes in an elegant & quiet dining space. Friendly staff too. Good to hear they have a temporary reprieve from their forced relocation.

   Very disappointing compared to previous years there before, the standard and quality of food has gone downhill,especially the chateaubriand serve was huge but quaff meat was poor overcooked grisly with lots of tendon and muscle scallops as entree was tiny and French onion soup was sour after port added in complexly unpalatable price was increased, will not recommend it to anyone and definitely will Never go back there ever again .

   Claire’s is always excellent. This was our last visit before they close due to the pending the redevelopment of the building. They will be missed. We can but hope that they find a new site. In the meantime, go to have a great French meal - which is also great for coeliacs - and if you time it right see some incredible cabaret performers at their final shows at the venue. Au revoir Claire’s! Merci.
