Service

"The staff was outstanding. Extremely knowledgeable."
"The service was very attentive and discreet."
Cons:
"A 300 dollar deposit was required to make the reservation and instead of it being deducted from the bill we were told our credit card company would notify us of the refund in a few days."
"They were rude, lacked empathy and their general lack of care for customers and staff made a terrible first impression."
"After we were seated, we waited at least 10 minutes before I finally flagged down a waitress to ask for a menu."
"It’s $10 a bottle for WATER…plain water…and they REFUSE to serve tap water."
"I told them I was thirsty, but water was empty for 3 courses!"
"Because of the complete lack of leniency in their policy, my boyfriend went from Midtown to Brooklyn to dine alone as he was told he wouldn’t get any of his deposit back if neither of us showed."
"The staff is very attentive but pretentious in their over gushing descriptions of each course."
Ambiance

"The entire restaurant felt as we were all friends."
"In a beautiful, laid-back candle-lit space."

"It was intimate, dim but well-lit, the best music but not too loud, clean dining room and clean restrooms, smelled good, very high-end and yet also inviting and comfortable."
"Beautiful place."
"Clover Hill offers a charming, intimate dining experience with its beautiful, dimly lit ambiance that evokes a cozy European vibe."
Cons:
"It's a small space and the table next to us was having a high volume discussion - at certain points we couldn't hear each other talk."
"The restaurant is very small and our table was in the window and uncomfortable."
"We were forced to leave! The reservation was at 6:30pm... I guess we had to be out at 9:00pm, as the next couple was already waiting for the table."
"Music was weird too – not sure what they were going for."
"From the moment we arrived and we’re asked to wait outside in the rain for 20 minutes, nothing went right."
"Not sure how much room this restaurant has."
"This restaurant has a very cozy interior that makes you think you’ve just walked into any brunch spot."
Value
Pros:
"I'm more than happy to pay any amount for any food if it lives up to its reputation... I'm afraid neither the service nor the food did, and it certainly wasn't worth traveling to the heights."
"I would welcome the opportunity to dine here again; although, my bank account would not!"
"If you ever travel to New York I recommend saving up and eating here as they hold nothing back."
"Will cost you, but it is worth every penny for a very special, memorable evening."
"Pricey but absolutely worth it."
"Sure it is very pricey but it was the best meal of my life, no regrets."
"This place ranks among some of the best meals I’ve had - in terms of delicacy, precision, flavour combinations, attention to detail - and value for money."
Cons:
"At the end of the meal, we were stunned to receive the bill at $650."
"Outrageously overpriced!"
"They still charged my card for reservation for 2 people full price, plus tax, 20% service charge, $5 order fee, (which totals to $800)."
"The cost of the meal was 1500 dollars with tip with two glasses of wine and two drinks was outrageously expensive."
"The lack of price disclosure was extremely off putting."
"Fairly disappointed with this restaurant. Felt overcharged for the portion sizes."
"Cute space in a special location, but you’ll have a better meal at River Deli on the same block for 1/6 of the price."
