"If there’s one thing you have to order at Claud, it’s the chocolate cake. Think: the chocolate cake from Matilda, minus the trauma of public humiliation. This cozy wine bar feels like someone's very nice apartment, which makes it the ideal setting for a second or third date. It’s pretty tough to get a reservation here, but they do hold bar seats for walk-ins, so try to snag one then get a slice of cake and ask the bartender to recommend a wine pairing.
