Dining at Clement was the most disappointing dining experience I have had in NYC in five years. The restaurant rooms are beautiful but that's the only good news. The waiter - smarmy, overbearing - said "no" when my host asked if the corn soup had...any nuts in it. The waiter who brought the soup was a different person. He started pouring the soup into my host's bowl and my host noticed something chunky in it. "Is that just corn or is there anything else in there?" "Just corn, sir," he said. "There aren't any nuts, are there?" "No," he said. "...Well, maybe just a trace of nuts in the granola - there is granola that they put in the soup." "Well could you please check?" my host asked. A minute later the waiter returned and picked up the soup off the table. "The granola has pistachio nuts in it. I will get you a different one." Host has a severe nut allergy. Yikes. Good he asked several times! It went downhill from there. Undistinguished Cobb salad - utterly bland except for the bacon, not mixed together with the rest of the ingredients (a style thing, I presume). Undistinguished sole. Watery beurre blanc - should be rich and velvety. Wasn't. Should be poured over the fish. Waiter did not offer. The only thing that had a real taste was the espresso after the meal. Other than that, yuk. And the prices! $27 for the Cobb salad. $76 for the sole. Stay away!More
