I used to love Clamato, but I think popularity has ruined the resto or just a loss of direction.
Today I left hungry and disappointed. First off, more than half the dishes on the menu were cold or raw, and some like ceviche in the name you know will be raw when ordering. But others like the scallops had vague descriptions and I assumed they were cooked. Same with the fish. But what I ended up with was a bunch of similarly raw seafood dishes. Small plates of basically sashimi. Look at the photo of the scallops. 45 grams?? Of scallop for 24 euros and I ordered 2 of these not knowing. Nothing else. All tasted similar- dressing with olive oil + acidic slight variations. The worst? No accompaniments or greens. For the price of the dish, at least put some accompaniments with it. Or offer a salad on the menu so guests can order it.
Also the coques came lukewarm, which was a bit unpleasant. After our meal, I was not satiated and wanted to order some kind of salad or vegetable. But how can you order something that does exist on the menu? My options were courge or eggplant, which I did not feel like eating. I ended up eating a lot of the bread. This menu was a complete miss.
Interiors are still very cute, and quality of food is very good. But they need to rethink the menu. More hot food please!

A great opportunity for those who failed to book a table at Septime.
Good food (the sea food obviously, but the vegetable dishes were great too), good wine, reasonably priced.
Loved it.

We've had a perfect dinner! It was lovely! The food is amazing and the workers are super nice!
High quality of the food, highly recommended. It was not too expensive for the offered quality and taking into account the location. The server was really nice and took care of us. One of the chefs, Emil, if I remember well, was really nice explaining to us the dishes
Amazing and fashionable place to eat. The neighborhood is beautiful and there are other spots to eat and drink vine around. The service was great, they spoke English and even had the menus in English. The waiter really explained every dish to us and the food itself was truly delicious. The plates are smaller so I’d recommend sharing multiple between people (one plate is too little for one person). Also, don’t hesitate to ask for bread (it was included in the bill and they filled our table with bread all the time). Highly recommend!
Nice and cosy location in Paris for oysters and seafood. There is no advanced reservations allows and you have to come early to put your name down. Good selections of oysters and clams.
An amazing meal, and one of the best we had in Paris. We had Monk Fish, crab, oysters and asparagus and a great sparkling bottle of red. All the food was amazing, but the monk fish really was something special. The wine was great, and after our meal we carried the bottle over the road to the cave to finish it off.
