Claremont Neighborhood Grill

Ginger was our server and she was wonderful. Very attentive and knowledgeable with the menu. She had great recommendations. The food was delicious. We got the beef tenderloin, Mac and cheese, burger and mashed potatoes. And also got the garden view and passion fruit margarita. I can’t wait to come back again now that the weather is nice to sit outside. Had a great inside and outside seating.

I had the chance to eat at Claremont Neighborhood Grill through the courtesy of the Family I am working for. I ordered Tortilla Soup was great. I am a soup person so whatever soup it may be, I would definitely like it. I ordered their Special for the night which was Ribeye with their special kind of sauce and on top of it were onion rings. It was good but to me it didn’t tickle my palate because I think the ribeye wasn’t really seasoned and their special kind of sauce was the one that gave the flavor to it. Maybe it’s just me that I am not use to have sauce together with my Steak.

Somewhat dowdy and in need of a renovation as far as the interior. Bartenders are super friendly. Food is - not to my liking. I was excited to see the crispy artichoke appetizer thinking they would be delicious bite sized artichoke hearts with a tasty dipping sauce. As you can see by the pic they looked like something out of a horror movie. (Or frogs legs?) I literally didn’t know what I was being served until I realized it was a baby artichoke with most (not all) of the tough leaves removed. It wasn’t crispy or seasoned. It was chewy and stringy. And the lemon ricotta and herb pesto were not complimentary. A couple next to me got the cheeseburger and to say it looked plain would be an understatement. I decided to try one more thing and that was the tortilla soup (being a connoisseur of tortilla soup) and what came out was the thickest, darkest and quite frankly strongest tortilla soup I’ve ver had. There was a heaping of stringy chicken, some fresh avocado, a sprinkle of cheese and tortilla chips. The soup was strong and almost had a BBQ sauce like taste in addition to the very thick consistency. A woman two seats from me ordered the salmon and I could smell the fishy smell 😩. Thank heaven I didn’t order that. I love FRESH seafood but strong stinky fish makes me gag. I guess the Claremont Grill isn’t my cup of tea, but you don’t know if you will like a restaurant unless you try it.

We tried this place recently for a guy’s dinner. The old fashioned and Jack in the box drinks were good. The deviled eggs, artichoke and burrata appetizers were all great starters. I would rank them in that order for flavor. There wasn’t as much burrata as we would have liked but it was good nonetheless. The pork chop, corned beef sandwich, ribs and burger were all great entrees. The burger was the group favorite. I will definitely be back to try more menu options soon.

Claremont is a fantastic spot that nails both atmosphere and quality. The standout for me was the steak sandwich—perfectly cooked, loaded with flavor, and easily one of the best I’ve had in Dallas. Pair that with their well-crafted drinks, and you’ve got a go-to place for a relaxed night out or a casual but elevated dinner. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the vibe strikes the right balance between refined and comfortable. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a memorable meal and excellent cocktails.

Great welcome from hostesses and Josh did a great job explaining dishes and suggesting choices. Loved the Tartar and Pimento Cheese. Rigatoni and Pork Chop were good. Bar seats comfortable (important to me). Excellent menu choices. Reasonable prices. Will return.

Claremont is a great new addition to the Dallas dining scene. The ambiance inside is fantastic in that it is warm and refined yet still has a casual flare. We started off with the baked meatballs which were fantastic. The bread that came with them was well made and paired perfectly. We then got a caesar salad and the burger. The caesar salad was excellent and the burger was even better. The french fries were similar to a refined McDonalds (in a great way). The burger was well balanced and had a great flavor. Although we did not get dessert. we were eying them as servers would walk by with them. Overall, this is a great addition to the neighborhood and we can’t wait to come back.

Elevated yet cozy neighborhood grill vibes. The mac and cheese was a hit and our waitress was delightful. We’ll be back! UPDATE: Came back and had the Rigatoni Bolognese and it was to dieeee for! The breadcrumbs were such a nice touch.

Had a good time here. I am trying to lose some good ol baby weight and I quite enjoyed the roasted chicken. it's often hard to find yum non-salad options at restaurants, but this one was impressive. Nice ambience too.

Claremont is my newest go-to restaurant in Dallas for a guaranteed great time. Impeccable service. Enchanting patio; attractively decorated and comfortable dining room; and, cozy is their private room. Everything tasted has been perfectly prepared, beautifully seasoned, and absolutely delicious. A few favorites of mine include their Caesar Salad, Pan Roasted Crab Cake, Blackened Redfish, and, Olive Oil Cake. Can hardly wait for my next visit! CHEERS!

When I read in D Magazine that "people describe Claremont as family-friendly", had I thought that meant "families who feel it's acceptable to bring their screaming kids to a restaurant like this without even the slightest attempt to quiet them", I would have gone somewhere else. The head-turns and disgusted looks at nearby tables assured me it was not just "grumpy old me" feeling this way! Service from "Miguel H" and team was fantastic. Drink (La Verdita) was good. I was told the frozen watermelon margarita did not compare to "Far Out's" in both taste and potency, but in their defense that's a very high bar! Food was a miss. The nightly special, grilled redfish tacos, was fishy tasting and very saucy (greasy?). I was told the roasted corn ragout was not fresh tasting, as if it came from a can. The seasoned fries were decent as was the tortilla soup in a tomato-soup-like base. Was hoping I'd like coming here as much as I have enjoyed Suze over the years, but I think I'll leave this "family friendly" place to those who apparently struggle to find babysitters for the evening.

This was recommended by a co-worker and I would definitely recommend to others. I went with 5 friends for a ladies night/mom's night out. I had reservations and when we got there it was such a nice night we asked if they had room outside- they made it happen and the patio was so peaceful! I truly didn't feel like I was in a shopping center! They had big umbrellas and lots of shade. And it was also somehow pretty noise free from any cars. Our waiter, Dylan, totally understood the assignment and took great care of us! He didn't rush us and was really good at determining when to check in and just let us hang out. He also played up the girls night which we appreciated! The food was so good, the burger, the Mac and cheese and the pimento cheese I would highly recommend! This is a spot that could be cute as a casual friend hang or a date! The atmosphere was very welcoming and neighborly. Would come back and if you're in the area I suggest stopping by!

Love the patio on a cool day. Enjoyed just hanging out with the family. Kids were everywhere, but contained in the patio. Just enough service and not rushes. Not the same as other super busy spots. Will go back. Food was tasty and we will go back.

We started off with oysters and they were very good, especially with the sauces they provided. The cocktails were good, but not strong enough for me ha ha! The cheeseburger was one of the best I've had in a long time, flavorful and juicy. The french fries were also seasoned perfectly. Be sure to check out their happy hour with reduced pricing!

He's done it again! Another great concept.....service, food, ambiance - all elevated while not being pretentious - hometown cozy vibe. That patio is killer once it gets warmer!!!

I dine out a lot. When I decided to try Claremont, I wasn't sure what to expect. Dallas is saturated with Vandelay restaurants, and they've really taken over the dining scene. In my neighborhood, Preston Hollow, there are several Vandelay restaurants within walking distance of my house. If I head a couple of miles south to Snyder Plaza, the density increases exponentially. There are seven or eight locations there alone. Go north past LBJ to Beltline? More. Around SMU? Again, more. It seems like everywhere you turn, there's a Vandelay concept. Don't get me wrong--they're good. I wouldn't call them great, but they're solid. Claremont, however, brought clarity and elevated the dining experience that I think Vandelay is trying to achieve. From a service perspective, Claremont was superior. From a food perspective, it was leagues better--while still delivering that trendy, upscale-casual vibe reminiscent of most Vandelay or Hillstone-owned spots. If I have one complaint about Claremont, it's that the food came out too quickly. They were so dialed in that there was very little time between courses. For two people, we were in and out in about 35-40 minutes, with one cocktail each, two appetizers, and a $130 pre-tip check. That's quick--almost too quick. A dinner experience like this should take closer to 45 minutes to an hour to feel more balanced. So, what did we eat? We had the burger, which I'd rank in the top three in Dallas. Seriously. It was perfectly crafted. They clearly either bake their own buns or source them from a quality bakery. The meat filled the bun with perfect proportions, and the flavors--thanks to the jam and grilled onions--were unreal. The patty saturated the lower bun, but the top bun stayed intact, creating an ideal balance of textures and flavors. I'm a tough critic when it comes to burgers in DFW, but this one blew me away. Oh, and it includes fries--something every $18-20 burger in Dallas should come with but often doesn't (looking at you, Vandelay). With them, fries are à la carte, and your burger ends up being $27. Next up was the tuna tostada. Fresh, crispy, and bursting with the right flavors. The bolognese was another standout--a total hit. After spending a week eating Italian in New York City, my bar for Italian food has been raised significantly, but Claremont knocked it out of the park. To test my theory, I'm going back this Friday to see if they can replicate the experience. If they can, I'll be singing Claremont's praises to everyone I know. For now, this is a must-try if you enjoy the vibes of places like Hillstone, R&D, DLM, Hudson House, Honor Bar, Il Bracco, or Bobby's. Honestly, I'd pick Claremont over all of them right now--and I already did by making another reservation this Friday!

Quick funny tip: if you tell Google maps (via microphone) to direct you to "Claremont," it will route you to California. So, y'know, stay alert out there, everyone. Ok really though...Claremont Neighborhood Grill. Where to begin... Vibes are great, much better in person than in photos. The comparisons to Vandelay restaurants (it's not a Vandelay spot) are on point, though honestly, it's missing that sort of Vandelay je ne sais quoi, which I think is a GOOD thing. Claremont feels a little less perfectly polished in terms of the decor, which in turn feels a little more authentic and unique. Like a real neighborhood grill -- although to call this place a "grill" is hilarious, because it doesn't have "grill" vibes or prices. The large number of Parkies who've ventured out of HP in their cutesy dresses further detract from any "grill" vibes. It'll feel more "neighborhood" once the hype dies down, hopefully. I'd love to see more people here actually dressed like they're just out for a quick meal a few blocks from home. Can we please have upscale decor and prices AND be a little less dressy / more "neighborhood"-y in our attire? I think that's what Claremont Neighborhood Grill would want. (...she shouted into the void.) Service was, on the whole, lovely. Our waitress was adorable. We did not feel rushed (on a Thursday evening), and in fact we pushed back against ordering several times and never felt that we were annoying her. She was super happy to take everything at our pace. We stayed for just over 3 hours and had a lovely time. The only miss on service was that after we paid our check, we were allowed to linger for another hour, but our waitress completely vanished, and our water ran dry. After spending a decent amount of money on a multiple-course meal (appetizer, entrees, dessert, and alcohol), I'd love to see that acknowledged with at least the bare minimum of water refills until we leave. Food was solid. The pimento cheese appetizer was definitely the star, and it's an ample serving size. If I came here for happy hour drinks (do they have a happy hour??) and that pimento cheese, I'd walk away happy with just that, even though their wine list leaves a lot to be desired, and the cocktails were fine but nothing to write home about. I had the redfish, which was perfectly delicious but also a dish you've had at ten other restaurants. The beets-and-yogurt side dish was safe but still nice. The burger got rave reviews from a dining companion, but the fries were WAY over-seasoned (and this from a girl who loves her seasoning). The brownie dessert was solid but, again, nothing you haven't had before. The patio looks like a lovely place to spend a warm summer night talking about the days that this place was Ball's Hamburgers and we'd run around the arcade room in our YMCA jerseys after a game. Claremont isn't quite that sort of uber-casual "neighborhood grill" (as almost nothing is in Dallas anymore), but I hope people will embrace Claremont in a more "neighborhood" way before too long.

I have been dying to check out this new spot! Finally made it last night and it did not disappoint! Food was delicious, service was impeccable! Highly recommend!

Let's start with the food is good and the bar staff is great. Here's where management needs to get it together. You're a neighborhood restaurant, not out for a Michelin star...which will come in later. To your customers, the only thing more irritating than the person at a host stand asking 'is your entire party here' is seeing open seats at a bar and being told you have to get on a list. BARS ARE FOR OPEN SEATING. Houston's - I mean Hillstone is the only other place I've seen with the attitude to take up this policy. Which had me drop my visit count from ~25 visits a year to zero. If you're going to have this moronic policy, you should be on the ball and seat quickly...nope...the staff had open seats for 13 minutes before 'allowing' us to sit down...and yes, I counted. I did this because, not having a seat gave me the free time to catalogue their lack of competence. The deviled eggs are spectacular...I mean amazing, but most of the other food is just average for what I would expect at the price point...not earth shaking, just what I would expect. Oh oh oh...I even asked about this policy and managements glib response was 'well...we noticed that this is how some Michelin star restaurants handle bar seating. My friend, I've been to Michelin Star restaurants and you are NOT that. Stay in your lane, be the best version of what you are and embrace that neighbor restaurants live and die by customers who come in and drop $150 on any given Wednesday.

This was our first time and we loved the vibe! Sat on the patio and it felt like a little oasis outside Dallas. Dylan (our server) was very friendly and was great with our 3 year old! Felt like everything was priced appropriately and the food was delicious! We will definitely be back! My order: 6oz beef tenderloin perfectly cooked with a side of Claremont sauce, the most amazing side of greens I've ever had, and delicious buttery whipped potatoes! Wife's order: Blackened redfish, grilled asparagus, and whipped potatoes 3yo order: Kids chicken tenders & fries (sans the dill seasoning for the kiddo)

The food, ambience and service with Easy were amazing. We met friends & had a great time. My husband and I had the roasted chicken which was delicious. Our friends had the cheeseburger and wings they said their food was delicious as well. My husband also enjoyed the chicken tortilla soup. We definitely will be back

It is the week of my wife's birthday and our choice for dinner was the Claremont. We were excited, ordered drinks, and sat at the bar to wait for our table. We were not prepared to be asked to take our drinks and get off of the bar chairs. They have a waiting list for the bar chairs. That was new to us, and we immediately walked away with an attitude. After being taken to our table, Carlos, the GM, came over to introduce himself, and find out what happened. We explained our shock, and he understood our feelings. Carlos took a table of frustrated guests with attitudes, and created a table of guests who cannot wait to come back. Carlos made our experience an experience! We are grateful, the food was great, and Carlos epitomized what a good GM can do to calm a crowd and create a wonderful experience. We will be back!

Great customer service right from the moment you walk in... attentive hostesses . Great bar vibe with personable bar tenders and fun cocktails. Food and wine did not disappoint. Great for sharing. Be sure to make a reservation!

Incredible dinner. One of our favorite new spots. Everything was perfect from food to service. A must try for sure!!

Great food and great menu. Service was great. A surprising replacement to Suze. Make a reservation and enjoy

DELICIOUS MEAL but wouldn't go without a reservation, it's not a huge restaurant. We shared everything and my favorite entree was the rigatoni bolognese, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu quite frankly!! I can't wait to go back and try more!

Great food and vibes! Got the tuna tostada to start and handhelds for entrees. The burger and sliders were simply the best. Brussel sprouts were crispy and so tasty! Such a great place and will be back to try other items on the menu.

Food was fantastic - large portions, with layers of flavors and textures, well-balanced, but still very refined. Service was impeccable, fast, personable, and with a high level of attention to detail. Ambiance was great - cozy and "Dallas casual." The tuna tartare tostada, pimento cheese, and bolognese were especially amazing. We ordered a ton of food and finished everything but weren't miserably full since everything was light. We will definitely return.

The first time I went here it was good. The second time was a disappointment. I pulled a piece of metal out of my mouth from the meatball appetizer. The waiter apologized and comped the dish. I think more should have been done but whatever. I then had the rotisserie chicken which was not good, but my appetite was gone after the metal. When you spend $$$ on a meal and leave disappointed, it never feels good.

We decided to try this restaurant for an early dinner on New Year's Eve. It was AMAZING! The service was spectacular..we seriously had three different people serving us, we felt very special. The pimento cheese appetizer was delish! Everything was so yummy! I'm very excited to have this wonderful restaurant right in my neighborhood!

So glad they opened up. Food was great. Highlights for me were the grilled chicken lollipops, the salmon of the grill, and of course the burger. The bbq sliders were a hit with the kids. Would happily go back for dinner or even just drinks at the bar

Very new... restaurant decor & concept are good... food is tasty, pork chop is great. Personally, like Beverly's more... but would go again.

We live nearby and are so excited to have Claremont in the neighborhood. We are long time fans of Beverley's and Green Point, and Claremont has delivered in the same great way. Service is quick and very warm, and all the dishes we've tried have been delicious. This will be a regular for us!

Claremont is an absolute triumph and a much-needed upgrade for the rather limited Bluffview and Old Preston Hollow dining scene. Replacing the abysmal and inhospitable Suze, Claremont delivers everything its predecessor could not: stellar food, flawless service, and a truly modern and refined atmosphere. The pimento dip is a revelation, and the tuna tostada hits all the right notes. Entrées like the crab cake (perfectly portioned in a European style) and the Ruben sandwich were equally delightful. Cocktails and wines by the glass were well-curated, with the hibiscus margarita standing out as a tart, refreshing gem. While the hostess's insistence on having us stand awkwardly next to the table whilst clearing extra flatware at the start was a minor misstep, the impeccable service from our warm and enthusiastic server thereafter more than made up for it. Hats off to the Katz brothers for finally giving the neighborhood the restaurant it truly deserves! Our next visit cannot come soon enough.

Our server was exceptional and responsive. The food was good. We had the corned beef sandwich and the wagu hamburger. All came with french fries. I'm not into French fries so next time I'll order some type of vegetable. Everyone was very pleased. Sound was a bit loud but what restaurant is not? Nice need for the hood. PS. The tortilla soup was great as well with just the right amount of heat.

Great new spot. The burger is phenomenal... one of the best in Dallas. The Caesar salad was pretty bland and needs more acidity. I'm sure they're still working out the kinks. We will def be back soon.

Visited with a friend who really wanted to try this new restaurant. My friend liked it, but I was not impressed. Burger was overcooked to well done despite asking for medium well. I've learned that it's not worth sending such mistakes back to the kitchen in any restaurant. Pimento cheese appetizer felt like someone trying to dress up basic country cooking that was good on its own. Restaurant is your basic Preston Hollow/Park Cities restaurant with lots of flash but no real substance. Not impressed. I'll go back if my friends want to eat there, but not a place I'd pick myself.

Very nice addition to neighborhood restaurant scene. Severed a solid cheeseburger, fries ( little salty) in a classy but unpretentious atmosphere. Also impressed with professional attitude of staff. But very much looking forward to the cornbeef sandwich next time I visit.

Went for the first time to celebrate my wife's birthday, the food was superb, we had the blackened redfish and a burger, along with tuna tartare and the pimento dip........ all were outstanding. The apple crisp was incredible for desert. Our waitress (Ginger) was the best, she made the evening extra special, and even chased us down in the parking lot to bring us my wife's sweater, which had been left behind in our booth. We can't wait to try some of the other menu items on our next visit. A great meal, with a wonderful waitress, in a very cozy ambience....... just what we were hoping it would be.
