What people say, in short
Clancy's is a frequent pick for dinner in New Orleans, described as an upscale, old-school spot with a loyal following. Diners single out the lemon icebox pie, the fried oyster and Brie appetizer, the lobster risotto, and the filet with Stilton. One visitor had an excellent lunch with great service, while another found the food only okay despite the lovely ambiance and great service, and one diner felt walk-ins without a regular's standing get less attention.
