Michael Bauer does an update on Claudine (8 Claude Lane), two months after the departure of chef de cuisine Caleb Jones. He finds everything just fine, but not quite as good as it was when he reviewed the place last March and gave them three stars for food. His favorite meatball soup isn’t quite as perfect, the chicken was over-sauced, and the service was extra-slow. Still he lets them keep their two and a half stars. [Chron]
