We first visited just my husband and I to celebrate a special birthday. The food is wonderful...and that does not do it justice. We knew we had some friends coming in from out of town for the holidays and this was exactly where we wanted to take them! We first went as a party of two and returned as a party of 11. The food and service each time regardless of the size of the party was fantastic. Extremely courteous waitstaff. Hubby danced with me for the first time here at Claudio's! This will always be a favorite and one day I say "everyone knows my name"!!!

Claudio himself showed us to a table that was situated perfect enough to enjoy the music but also share conversation with our friends. The food and service was exceptional, each of us ordered something different from the menu. We were pleased with every entree. The ambiance is everthing you can ask for, no matter what it is your looking for. We look forward to our next visit and have told all of our friends and family about Claudio's Restaraunt & Piano Bar. NAME: The Casey Family SUBMITTED: 10/28/2007   LAST VISIT WAS: 09/20/07 FREQUENCY: Visited 4-6 times MY REVIEW: My girlfriend and I visited Claudio's based on its positive reviews. It was not what we expected. Parking was terrible. There was no live music near out section of the restaurant. We were assured that it would switch to the stage near our table soon . . . but it never did. The restaurant was cram-jammed with people and so noisy that it was difficult holding a conversation. The service was good, no complaints there. The food was OK, but not worth the money. My girlfriend got a 25$ steak. It was smothered in a sharp-tasting Italian sauce that ruined the flavor. This was not mentioned on the menu. (Was I supposed to know this already?) Overall, we were very disappointed. This is a restaurant that is over-priced, with poor ambiance, and average food. We won't be back.

It was truly the best party many of us have ever attended. When we want a special time out, you'll find us at Claudios. Claudio, you will always hold a special place in our hearts!! NAME: Michael and Marylee Cooley SUBMITTED: 7/15/2007   LAST VISIT WAS: June 2007 FREQUENCY: Everybody here knows my name... MY REVIEW: Claudio's was fun and the food was delicious. The service was impeccable, we were treated like VIPs! The music was good and we danced after dinner. The new chef is doing a great job and the food is much improved.

We recently purchased a home here and we've visited many, many places -- this was the BEST! I also planned a romantic dinner and was blown away. The food was GREAT! Not to mention the entertainment and staff -- all wonderful! Truly an evening I will never forget! NAME: Tommie D SUBMITTED: 4/5/2007   LAST VISIT WAS: March 2007 FREQUENCY: Everybody here knows my name... MY REVIEW: This is by far the best kept secret in Kemah! I had planned a romantic celebration dinner and was not disappointed. The fried Gulf shrimp were very large and tasty accompanied by rice and vegetables. My guest enjoyed the Chateaubriand and together we finished a very nice bottle of Italian white. The piano music began just about the time we finished our meal, so we headed to the bar. Glad we did. The entertainment was superb. We enjoyed a piece of cheesecake at the suggestion of the very friendly bartender. Danced and felt like I had been taken back to the days of Frank Sinatra. Will definitely go back again. NAME: Melissa SUBMITTED: 3/14/2007   LAST VISIT WAS: March 2007 FREQUENCY: Visited once MY REVIEW: This place is hands down fantastic. The free valet,the atmosphere, The waitstaff,the food,the drinks, the dessert. We enjoyed the live music,the bartender,the server, the owner,and even the chef! Everyone came out to ask us how our meal was. It was honestly the best meal I have had since moving from Chicago,home to some of the best italian restaraunts. I will take all my friends and family here. The saturday special with the veal and eggplant was spectacular.Very affordable for such a high quality meal. I had a bite of everyone elses meal and there wasnt not one that wasnt delicious. The tiramisu was awesome. Will come back again and again.The bathrooms were very clean and updated. There were people dancing everywhere. The dress code goes from shorts and flip flops to suits and ties. Stay off the boardwalk and go here. NAME: Timothy SUBMITTED: 3/3/2007   LAST VISIT WAS: march 2007 FREQUENCY: Visited once MY REVIEW: I was at Richard's 30th birthday at Claudio's and just wanted to thank the owners and staff for providing such an awesome experience on Saturday night. Claudios had it all and if I lived in the area I would make it my hang out for business lunches, first dates, fantastic dinners, and partying with my friends. The food is so decadently delicious and I appreciated the portions were not skimpy by any stretch of the imagination. It's also fun to meet and greet with singles in Kemah at Claudio's teeming bar. I live in Austin now but for the last 10 years have been in Malibu, CA and am spoiled on world class restaurants such as A*llegria, B*eaurivage, G*eoffreys and T*averna Tony's, who seem to take dining to a new level. I will add Claudio's to my list and I would not hesitate to point any of my friends or contacts to spend their evening there. Claudio's is world class and if it's not already, it will be world famous.

Hands down it was the best birthday I ever had in large part to Claudios. We had 20 people at our table and every guest raved about the delicious food, great wine and first class customer service. We were treated like the kings of the castle! Thanks Claudio!!!! NAME: Richard SUBMITTED: 2/5/2007   LAST VISIT WAS: February 3, 2007 FREQUENCY: Visited 4-6 times MY REVIEW: This restaurant is fantastic, my entire experience from the time I called to make the reservation until the time I picked my car up from valet was truly a wonderful experience. The food was outstanding, I had the filet and it was the best I have ever had. The manager came by the table and introduced himself; he explained that they are in the process of remodeling and are bringing in a world renowned chef from out of state. I thought the restaurant was great now I can't wait to return to see the upgrades. NAME: Franklin SUBMITTED: 2/2/2007   LAST VISIT WAS: January 27, 2007 FREQUENCY: Visited 4-6 times MY REVIEW: On the night that I was there, there was terrific non-stop entertainment from Claudio and his wife, plus Phil Johnson. The food was fresh, delicious and extremely well presented. The service was excellent and the staff were only too willing to please. The overall ambiance rivaled any of the down town restaurants.............. So, if it is a great night out that you are looking for, head for Claudio's. NAME: Julia Ward SUBMITTED: 1/9/2007   LAST VISIT WAS: 01/07 FREQUENCY: Visited 4-6 times MY REVIEW: I tried Claudio's out on a Wednesday evening recently because it has music and dancing even thought it was a long drive for me. The bar was active and friendly. The bartender made me feel like an old friend. The music was great and non-stop. I enjoyed myself so much that I stopped back on Friday and had dinner at the bar. The menu had great Italian, fish, and meat choices for a reasonable price for the quality. Music and dancing was non stop, alternating in the bar and a dance floor in the dining room. The meal was delicious. I came back on Saturday night, tried a different meal choice and had another great time with the friendly people there. Claudio made me feel personally welcome. I'll be there often in the future.

We take all our important foreign and domestic guests to Claudio's. I can depend on a class atmosphere with dependable quality and service every time. I'm very critical of most establishments, but Claudio's has never let us down. NAME: John H. Voll SUBMITTED: 2/22/2006   LAST VISIT WAS: December 2005 FREQUENCY: Everybody here knows my name... MY REVIEW: My wife and I went to Cluadio's for the first time a week ago, on open mic night. The music was great and the food remarkable, the lil' blonde bartender was the nicest person we've met since moving to the Seabrook area. She was not just friendly but made us feel like long lost family. We have been back since and were instantly made to feel just as welcomed as on our first visit. We look forward to spending alot more evenings there and will be bringing all our friends down for a great time of music, food, and fun. NAME: Mark S. SUBMITTED: 1/26/2006   LAST VISIT WAS: 01/24/06 FREQUENCY: Visited 2-3 times MY REVIEW: A wonderful experience! Claudio, Crista and Will were absolutely great with non stop music until closing. The new chef should be complemented. We had 3 different entrees that were all superb. Prices very reasonable for this quality. We took out of town visitors for a Sunday Brunch in November and this is the best in town. Enjoyed Horace Grigsby and the food was excellent and extremely well priced. We'll be regulars now that they are back in the original location. NAME: Maurice & Beth SUBMITTED: 12/12/2005   LAST VISIT WAS: 12-10-2005 FREQUENCY: Visited 4-6 times MY REVIEW: If you like going out to Sunday Brunch and listening great Jazz (performed by Horace Grigbsy) you need to go to Claudio’s in Kemah for a special treat! Mimosas and Bloody Marys are served with a smile. The brunch menu is varied and reasonably priced. The Eggs Benedict were some of the best I’ve had in Clear Lake area. My wife and I are defanatly coming back for more good times. NAME: bill c from houston SUBMITTED: 11/14/2005   LAST VISIT WAS: 11/2005 FREQUENCY: Visited once MY REVIEW: Great atmosphere, great and I mean GREAT food. We went in the evening and it was so romantic sitting there listening to the music. I am not even a big piano person but it was just so lovely. The drinks were fantastic! The bartender was funny, nice, and very quick to get our orders. She made great martini's and told us about Martini Night. We are planning on going back often (whenever we can get a babysitter for our three kids that is)!!!! NAME: Brittany and Jacob SUBMITTED: 10/18/2005   LAST VISIT WAS: 10/05 FREQUENCY: Visited once MY REVIEW: Went there to try it out based on some reviews we read. We first decided to have a cocktail. The bartender was not very helpful and the drinks were extremely weak and pricey. Although it was July it was so cold in there we could not fathom being able to enjoy our food (and I grew up in the North and like it cool). The menu appeared very basic with little detail. We told the hostess that we were too cold and she couldn't care less. Therefore, we decided to go elsehwere (and we are so glad - we ended up at F*ranca's Real Italian and it was a surprise hit). NAME: eriol SUBMITTED: 8/25/2005   LAST VISIT WAS: 07/2005 FREQUENCY: Visited once MY REVIEW: Love Claudio's new format – food was super – and the music was great, and non stop. When Claudio took a break we were able to continue dancing in to the band that was playing! Claudio now has guest musicians every night. NAME: New to Kemah SUBMITTED: 7/19/2005   LAST VISIT WAS: july/2005 FREQUENCY: Visited 4-6 times MY REVIEW: Drinks are proper, atmosphere is eclectic, everything from shorts to suits. My wife's filet was absolutely to die for, she asked for rare, that is what she got! I ordered the Veal Marcella. The Veal was great, the sauce was wonderful and the mushrooms were to die for. The Veggies bright, crisp and tasty. And the bread... if you go for nothing else, order a drink and the bread. The piano music was good, when the gal left and the guy took over, the place lit up! Dance floor was full and deservedly so, his music is excellent. We were looking for piano music, drove 40 miles.... We will do it again. Oh yes, very reasonably priced..... NAME: June n bill SUBMITTED: 5/8/2005   LAST VISIT WAS: May 8th 2005 FREQUENCY: Visited once MY REVIEW: If you are looking for a romantic dinner and a opportunity to dance with your better house, Claudio's is the best place in town. Claudio is a gifted musician and boy can his wife sing. My parents are regulars and know I know why. What a great night!
