Clyde's is consistently good whether for lunch or dinner. The garlicky lemon appetizer mussels I had as my main course were outstanding and the warm crusty bread is much too good!!! Yes, I ate more than I should have of it. Try the autumn salad - wonderful flavor combinations. This was a small group to celebrate my son's 40th birthday and at the end of the meal a lovely fudgy cake with whipped cream & lighted candle with chocolate birthday mini-banner was placed atop the cake as a surprise for the "birthday boy". Never hesitate to make reservations either in Maryland or Virginia - this was the Virginia Clyde's as my son lives nearby.

Clyde's is always a great place to go for excellent food, good service, quiet environment, and reasonable prices. The brussel sprouts appetizer was fabulous for sharing! Our party also enjoyed the pork schnitzel, burger, and salmon meals.

We were seated promptly and the wait staff was appropriately attentive. The side salad with the Quiche has improved greatly in size and ingredients. The eggs with the Benedict were lusciously runny. All our food was delightful!!

Historically the service at Clydes has been amazing but I would imagine like with all restaurants attracting good talent is difficult these days. That being said, we’re not willing to pay for the level of service that we received going forward. Service was very nice but often failed to fill water without being prompted, allowed coffee to go cold, and the dessert came out with nearly completely melted ice cream.

We were happy our request was granted to be seated in the Adirondack room for our 5:30pm Thanksgiving meal. Ordered Manhattans, straight up, no ice, the taste was fine, but definitely watered down. Sigh. Shrimp cocktail was good. Shrimp size smaller than expected though. Meals, Turkey dinner and Ham dinner, were tasty, though temp was lukewarm to cool. We noticed other diners sent their dinners back for that reason. We should have, too, but were hungry, so did not which we regret. Pie accompanied each meal. Slice size was OK, though one of us received the tiniest pumpkin pie slice anyone's ever seen. So, three out of four. There was a meal surcharge on our bill. Guess that's becoming routine at some restaurants. Service was good; we tipped well. Atmosphere very nice. Meals tasted good. Food temp. could have been better. Drinks shouldn't be watered down. Sign of the times?

Chicken was dry. Had a drumstick and two weird-looking pieces. Chicken skin was not crisp. Chicken tasted warmed over. Companions had pork Schnitzel. Also dry with a heap of arugula on top with a few apple slices. Apple slices were the best part. Apple crumble for dessert was okay but very small portion for the price. Did not feel the price of the meal was worth it. (They actually have a 6-oz. filet mignon for $42!!!) Very disappointed Definitely will not be going back.

We went back for more Maine lobster—love it! Especially when someone else cooks and cracks it for me. And, since we don’t enjoy their French fries, we were happy they allowed us to substitute potato gratin, which is offered with another entree—very good. Service was friendly and fairly prompt at the start of the meal, but seemed to fall apart toward the end—getting our bill and paying took a LONG time, hence the 4* instead of 5. Don’t know if the problem is a result of general deficiency of available servers, or if a problem with pay or management at Clyde’s. The staff all seemed happy, so I suspect some combination of higher pay and better training/new process for paying bill might help.

Clyde's is one of the few places that is consistently very good -- food and service and overall care. They change the menu each season which keeps things interesting. It is great to know that you can expect and get quality all around.

Absolutely the worst experience at this Clyde's ever. Had no idea when I made the required phone call to reserve for 4+ party that I was supposed to know to specify the type of seating I wanted; certainly the person who took the reservation did not prompt me to. Bland food (crab-artichoke dip that tasted of neither; Oysters Rockefeller minus the advertised Pernod; clam chowder with potato chunks standing in for the clams). But the very worst was the slack service. Long waits (bread took one hour!) Slow on drinks and failure to ask about refills. Mix ups on orders. Serving burgers and fries with no ketchup in sight (had to find some on another table). As the restaurant emptied out, service did not improve. One could always rely on Clyde’s to have well-trained, coordinated service staff. Apparently no more.

Clyde’s in one of our favorite restaurants, but the service last night was the worst we have ever encountered. We sat at our table for at least 20 minutes before our waiter came to take our order and and waited even longer for drinks and food.

Ordered 6 oysters but sent them back. They were tiny, not the large and plump ones I had been promised by the waiter. Service was terribly slow, due in large part by an inexperienced waiter. And the prices are ski high. This had been one of my favorite restaurants. No longer!
