M
y first impression upon arriving at
Clover, is that it is very clean, quaint, and
cozy. Everything is made fresh, with ap-
propriate seasonings and efficient service.
Clover is located inside a renovated home
and you can eat upstairs, downstairs, at the
bar, or on the patio.
I would recommend the “Dungeness Crab
Spinach & Artichoke Dip” and “Reuben
Sandwich.” All of their bread comes from
a local bakery, Bellacrosta, which bakes
its breads and pastries fresh daily. We tried
their garlic Parmesan bread complete with
garlic chunks baked in the bread and served
with onion butter. This is so much better
than the typical side chunk of plain bread
that comes as filler with soup and salad.
You can buy your own Bellacrosta loaf to
take home with you.
Clover is located near the Gonzaga
campus. They have some great salads and
soups if you want a lighter meal. The main
dinner entrees include “Seared Scallops”,
“Grilled Rib Eye”, “Chili-Rubbed Tri-
Tip”, “Spring Pea and Ricotta Ravioli” and
more. You can tell that the staff at Clover
cares about their food and their service.
The environment is laid back and low key,
but the food will make any special occasion
extra memorable.
S
o, happy birthday, happy anniversary,
happy graduation, happy “you survived
another day at the office”! Whatever it is
that you are celebrating, I hope you find the
time to enjoy your celebrations with good
company and great food. Don’t forget your
dessert, you deserve it.
