Restaurant Review
The Clinton House is an historic restaurant circa 1743, located in the heart of the Historical Community of Clinton, serves up traditional American food in a rustic country setting. It has recently been renovated to restore its 18th century atmosphere.
The ambiance is warm, cozy with old beamed ceilings, dark wood, and a stone fireplace
The patrons tend to be 50+. If you get there on a busy weekend and need to wait for a table, they have a cocktail lounge to enjoy a pre-dinner drink.
The restaurant is especially festive during the winter months or the holiday season when the stone fireplaces are lit.
The food is well prepared using fresh ingredients. Steaks are USDA Certified Black Angus, all natural & grass-fed.
Save room for dessert, they have a good selection of well prepared choices. Try the Bread Pudding with Bailey's Cream Sauce. It's sumptuous.
The Clinton House is open daily from Monday to Saturday: 11:30am - 2:30pm and Sunday: 12:00pm - 8:30pm with Dinner served All Day! And during the evening from Monday to Friday: 5:00pm - 9:30pm, Saturday: 5:00pm - 10:00pm and Sunday: 12:00pm - 8:30pm
They are also Open on Thanksgiving
They are family friendly with a children's menu.
