From Co-Owners Joshua Pinsky and Chase Sinzer, Claud is a restaurant in the East Village. Claud is inspired by the European style of dining and seeks to replicate that vibe here in the city.
“One of the best meals we have had in NYC. Claud completely delivered: intimate room, great energy, excellent service, a serious wine list, and food that was creative without feeling forced. The scallop skewer with lardo, spinach and artichoke mille-feuille, chicken liver agnolotti, and Dover sole with Chartreuse and lemon were all outstanding. We also loved the Boisson Rully, which paired beautifully with the meal. The devil’s food cake was a perfect finish. Easily a 10/10 date-night spot and one of our new favorite restaurants in the city.”
“Came here for a birthday dinner and had a wonderful experience. Our server was really attentive and recommended us some delicious wine to go with our meal. I would say the service was a 5/5 -- they made sure to swap out the water pitcher even if it was pretty full. For the food, we ordered the: 1. spinach and artichoke mille-feuille (3/5) while it was delicious and the puff pastry was incredibly soft and flakey, we didn't feel like it was worth the price 2. chicken liver agnolotti (5/5) so delicious. i will say that you can definitely taste the liver so if that's not your thing, i wouldn't recommend it. we absolutely loved it and thought everything blended well together 3. pork chop with smoked onion jus (5/5) our favorite dish for the night. the pork chop was SO juicy and cooked well. the smoked onion jus was such a compliment on top of the pork chop -- highly recommend! All in all, we had a wonderful time there and would definitely go back to try more of their dishes”
“Great food, wine, and dessert! Ordered the chicken liver agnolotti, half chicken, chips, and devil’s food cake. We also enjoyed excellent Spanish white wine and a few mocktails. The service was great from the moment we walked in. Every member of the staff was incredibly attentive and helpful. We had a reservation, arrived on time and were seated promptly. We never felt rushed but we were just two people and dined on a weekday night so that could be why.”
“We went here for my birthday dinner and I just wanna say from the start. The interior of this place is adorable. It is super cozy feels almost like a very rustic cavity. Feel kitchen is wide open for you to see everything that we were cooking which I love I had pretty high hopes walking in here and it has a pretty good reputation. They also own the sister restaurant a penny upstairs who I think has one of the best desserts in New York City so I put this place pretty high on my expectations. Everything my hand was decently good it was good. Nothing was mind blowing though. The pit was a starter. It was strong good portion for you get for pate and went great on the bread The jamon or prosciutto was also really strong and delicious. However, after that, I forgot what these dishes were I can’t even name them looking at the pictures anymore. The pasta was decent. The problem is after I left this place. I almost forgot this meal totally if it wasn’t for the atmosphere. It wasn’t for the space that I loved so much. It would’ve been quite forgettable for me. Of course, the one of the most famous things they have. Here is the chocolate cake. It is huge decadent delicious I’m not really a chocolate cake person and we definitely have to take home, but I really love eating it the next two days. I do remember also having some kind of steak with blueberries on it. It felt great Thanksgiving and I don’t know it’s like berries on my steaks personal choice. It’s a personal choice.”
“(We did reserve online. I recommend people to check that out as well!!) Red Shrimp with Olive Oil and Garlic - the best dish of the night. The shrimp was sweet and tender, and the oil underneath it added great aroma and richness. We had like 3 plates of bread to eat w the oil. Beef tongue w salsa verde - The presentation was nice, but the slices were very thin so the texture was not very impressive. The sour cream in the center was actually good and helped balance the acidity. Veal sweetbreads w pepperoncini aioli - This was the weakest dish. The frying was very oily and heavy, and the portion was quite small. The flavor did not justify the texture, so I would not order this again. 🐟- This came out last. The flavor was mild and the fish was tender, and it did help us feel full by the end. The lemon 🍋 is an extra bonus. Very refreshing.”
