   The food was good but not worth the price paid. The white burgundy wine was incredible. The old fashioned was good but the pour was light. Not worth the price. Service was great. Had to wait for someone to greet us when we arrived. Overall good experience. Not sure I’ll go back.

   Way too expensive for what you get. My wife and I shared 1 entree and two sides. Each had one glass of wine and shared one desert. Bill with tip was $165 food was good but too expensive

   I miss the charcuterie offerings. I feel like that made this place so unique. I also miss their old brunch offering. The food was decent but I don’t think matched the price and there weren’t many things on the menu that looked really exciting or unique. Our server never came back to get the drink order I said I wanted and I don’t recall came back to check on us. The ambiance is top notch but I just miss their old menu.

   Thank you for your support of Claywood. We understand that menu changes can be disappointing. Our charcuterie-forward model was a temporary response to 7th Avenue construction and is now featured every Thursday. Brunch was also seasonal and paused so we could focus on our evolving farm-to-table dinner experience, which highlights the freshest local ingredients. I personally checked on your table during your visit, but we’ll follow up with our team to ensure no service steps are missed. We hope you’ll join us again soon and revisit what makes Claywood special. Your feedback is valued and helps us grow.

   Reservation made for a birthday dinner with my GF and myself on a Saturday night; never been there before. Extremely welcoming ambience, vibe, decor when we first walked in. Seated very quickly. Took a few minutes to get the drinks going, but the bar was busy, not a huge deal at all. server was very welcoming and friendly. Was able to describe several of the appetizers for us, we chose pork belly and scallops to share for our appetizers, both were VERY good, only ‘complaint’ is the scallops app came with 3, for the value i would have loved 4. We both ordered the lamb rack entree. Holy smokes, cooked to perfection, was melt in mouth delicious. We are looking forward to trying Claywood again in the next season, as there menus are seasonal!

   My husband and I dined at Claywood for the first time since our friend recommended the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant for the ambiance, food and service. Our waitress was very friendly and enthusiastic about helping us decide the best way to choose menu options, i.e., sharing and main courses. We shared the salad (excellent) and had the lamb rack and strip loin. Both were cooked to perfection with a nice char. The chef does a good job with his creative sides. This is a higher-end restaurant in Hendersonville and worth our 30 minute drive. Definitely plan to visit again to try more menu options.

    First experience. Great trendy atmosphere. Live music the night we were there. Burger and bourbon night. One of our group ordered the pasta dish. Very small serving felt more like a starter. Otherwise satisfying and we will try it again.

    Thank you for giving us a try and for sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed the atmosphere, live music, and the overall vibe of Claywood. Regarding the pasta dish, it is, in fact, a small plate intentionally designed for sharing and experiencing multiple dishes throughout the meal. However, the portion is also conducive for one person to enjoy as a lighter main course. We appreciate the feedback and hope on your next visit you’ll explore more of our offerings—whether through ordering multiple plates to share or diving into one of our larger entrees. We’re grateful for your support and look forward to welcoming you back soon!
