| A whitewashed main dining room of mirrors, bentwood chairs and tuxedoed waiters sets a somewhat austere tone at Clancy's, but the place seems anything but dowdy once it fills with the Uptown swells who treat it like their own private club. Table-hopping is common among the smartly dressed crowd, and the tiny bar up front has a surprisingly robust cocktail culture all its own. The kitchen produces updated Creole dishes, such as a light, crisp sautéed trout with pecans, grilled chicken breast enlivened with pistachio-lime butter and a topnotch filet mignon in Madeira sauce. An appetizer of fried oysters each topped with a knob of melted Brie, is among the mainstays, while the lightly smoked soft-shell crab with a sprinkling of crab meat is an indispensable entrée here. Proprietor Brad Hollingsworth's personally chosen wine list is a commendable blend of expertise and more than reasonable prices. The fine dessert pies include a towering wedge of peppermint ice cream under a frothy meringue and a lemon icebox pie that many home cooks would be proud to call their own. |
