Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

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

Seeing a Broadway show and want a special place to feel special and have an amazing drink? This is your place. The Peninsula is legendary for service and style. WARNING: the drinks are not cheap, but this is NYC and one of the best hotels...in the world. This cocktail stop is a full on experience from the decor, the service, the people watching, and the drinks. The cocktails are amazing and a work of art. Our drinks were made and brought to the table, but completed at our table with the topping of champagne. The service is attentive, friendly, and they make you feel special. You do get an assortment of gourmet nuts that are delish. We sat at the communal table that has a huge window overlooking 5th Ave. The decor is dark, warm, with spectacular flower arrangements. You are not rushed, and can enjoy your drink, the people you are with, and the NYC vibe.More

We came here for a Christmas dinner which was billed as having a number of little extras such as Carol singers and a visit from Santa. As a fixed price meal (without a welcome drink even) at over $200 per adult) it was a huge...let down. So there were Carol signers but they were outside and surrounded by tourists taking selfies. The music inside was preset nondescript Muzak. There was some random guy walking around as Santa but he skipped over whole tables repeatedly (including ours) unless waved down. If you were lucky you might get a photo with him - we saw some children getting a sweet but mine didn’t which was disappointing for them. As I mentioned, there wasn’t a welcome drink or any offer of a drink except tap water. The starter selection (from a buffet) was pretty good -although nothing except for a really inedible pumpkin soup for a vegetarian. The entrees were actually pretty good - I had the roast turkey which was very tasty if a little too meat heavy and missing something to make it less dry like a decent gravy. The desserts were quite frankly awful. I like my puddings but there was not a single thing that was even remotely appetising so I had to revert to the cheese from the starter buffet. This wasn’t great either - no crackers and the entire selection consisted of random hard cheeses - no blues, goat or other flavours. Outside of the restaurant, the one toilet available for women only had two stalls. Apart from this being completely inadequate for the number of clients, the fact that one stall was permanently being used by a succession of women all taking drugs meant the queue of mothers and children waiting to use the remaining stall stretched round the corridor. All in all a meal for three with only one drinking came to well over $1000. It was absolutely not value for money and - apart from a very depressed looking Santa - completely un-Christmassy and probably only of any I treat to anyone else wanting to take drugs on the restroom. Avoid for any special occasion.More

The only good things that go for the Clement are its location and the cozy style of its interior. Aside from that, the service was below average, and paying over $75 incl. tax and tip for your average American breakfast meal (two eggs + two...bacon slices + one coffee) with a side of avocado (half one mind you) felt outrageously expensive… Definitely not worth the trip.More

This is in a hotel beautifully decorated for Christmas. But the restaurant was sub-par for such a classy hotel. We wanted to sit at a table in the bar but they couldn't seem to get it cleared. So, no prob, we sat at nice table...in the restaurant. My husband ordered Cobb Salad but got a Caesar. I ordered a club sandwich which was ALOT of mushy white bread, with very little of the delicious fillers you order a club sandwich for, like bacon and lettuce. French fries came with it, but I swear they tasted just like McDonald's fries -- cold and hard! We had one glass of wine and the lunch cost $100+tip. We don't recommend it. Or, if you choose to go, lower your expectations....ALOT!More

Had both breakfast and lunch here. Really felt the prices were outrageous for the portions. Especially the breakfast …four sausages on a plate, 4 pieces of bacon on another. Warm bread (supposed to be toast) on another. No ambiance. Disappointingly average.

Didn't eat at the restaurant but had a drink at the bar while waiting for the roof bar to open. I was pleasantly surprised it was such a small and intimate bar in a midtown hotel. Nice craft cocktails, cool velvet mini-booths. Dark and inviting...decor. Quiet and exclusive feel. A nice place to pop in and disappear for a little while.More

Unexpectedly outstanding dinner experience in the landmark Peninsula Hotel, just a few blocks form Rockefeller Center and Central Park. The service staff was perfectly attentive in a friendly way, not overbearing, and not snooty. Menu choices were curated to a relatively short list of eclectic...choices, including vegan options. Food was outstanding including a rare perfectly prepared soufflé for dessert. Wines selection was excellent but on the expensive side. Overall, good value for the midtown Manhattan location and we will plan to return for special occasions.More

We booked months ago to have a family Christmas lunch at Clement and were rewarded with an amazing memorable experience. The Christmas decoration in the whole hotel was fantastic and the food, service and wines were of the very highest standard. The menu selection was...just right - plenty of seafood and other selections form the starter buffet, an excellent range of choices for main course then the most amazing desert buffet to finish. Staff were very efficient and super friendly.More
