Chicken liver agnolotti, pork chop, and devil's food cake.
"Each visit here reveals a new must‑order, and this time it was the shishito peppers ($17): fried in a light, airy batter, stuffed with duck sausage, and served with dill sauce for a kick—like a larger, greener cousin to Via Carota’s sausage‑stuffed olives. They were an absolute stunner for our first bite of the night, followed by many more wonderful dishes across the late‑summer menu; for the record, my ongoing list also includes the sizzling shrimp, the chicken liver agnolotti, the foie gras terrine, and the chocolate cake." - Bettina Makalintal
"Mentioned as one of the lauded siblings of the team behind Stars, Claud is described as a well-regarded bistro from the same chefs." - ByKate Kassin
"A buzzy European-inspired restaurant and wine bar, Claud feels like the cozy-yet-chic East Village apartment of your chef friends who don’t make a big deal about how talented they are. The menu changes seasonally, but if they're available, make sure you order the razor clams, tomato mille-feuille, and swordfish au poivre. Finish with a dish of ice cream and the devil’s food cake for two." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang, neha talreja
"Opened in 2022 and initially billed as a wine bar, this spot functions as a restaurant that has become known for dishes like its chicken, sizzling shrimp, and chocolate layer cake. The project is one of a trio from chefs/operators Chase Sinzer and Joshua Pinsky, whose neighborhood successes have earned heaps of accolades and helped create strong local demand." - Emma Orlow
"The half-chicken is a standout — juicy, deeply savory, dressed with lovage and finished with a shower of pickles that adds briny lift without overwhelming the meat. The dish pairs well with the housemade bread, and you may want to leave room for the restaurant's famous slice of chocolate cake." - Eater Staff
