The Scene – This secluded waterfront eatery just off the Causeway has been pleasing regulars with friendly service and unpretentious elegance for more than 20 years. Photos of satisfied celebrity customers line the walls. Owner Clary Milburn is a constant, smiling presence as couples chat softly over candlelight and the catch of the day. – – The Food – Gulf Coast seafood with Cajun touches dominates the menu, but Clary's home-cooked flavors are oceans apart from the generic seafood served at many local chains. Start with generously sized crab balls or spicy seafood…

A rare treat
by littleconnie at Citysearch
Clary's is one of our favorite restaurants because of the excellent service and wonderful food. When we go to Clary's we are treated like a king and queen. Mr. Clary himself brings us a delicious assortment of appetizers ranging from baked oysters, crab claws and fish. His son Dwayne is the best waiter in town. He always picks out our wine for us and his choices are great. Their cold shrimp salad is scrumptious. Go to this restaurant when you have the time to sit back, watch the sunset and enjoy a very relaxing, delicious meal. You will not be disappointed.
- Pros: Delicious food, excellent service, romantic setting
- Cons: none

An excellent independent seafood restaurant.

The food is excellent. We tried everything from the shrimp gumbo to the grilled oysters, lump crab meat, and boiled shrimp. I prefer my seafood straight up -- no sauce that could hide the taste -- and it was all fresh and very tasty. The restaurant must have gone through a remodel since some of the other reviews were written; I couldn't find shag carpet anywhere. The service was polite, formal (white linen table cloths and fresh plates and silverware with each course), and appropriately attentive, i.e. they gave us time to enjoy our food and talk. There was a time that dinner was supposed to take time. The view was pleasant with calm water and I saw at least six different kinds of birds during dinner. So now for the bad news... seafood is not cheap dinners and a fair number of drinks for two were a bit over $100 and in my opinion well worth it. Given that it was an off-season Tuesday night there were only a few other guests. I don't need a restaurant to be packed, however, I want a place I enjoyed this much to continue to be successful.
- Pros: The food, the service, and the view.
- Cons: Pricey
