   We ate outside due to Covid precautions on a very cold night. The plastic tent and gas heaters kept us comfortable for most of the time. Towards the end of the night we were chilly but then it was time to go. Service was very good as was the food. For those of us who can not eat indoors during Covid times it is nice to have an outdoor option. Thank you Clyde’s!

   Clyde’s advertises up front that it is going to up-charge 3.5% for Resturant Recovery. This is just another large resturant compromising quality over making money. We we seated and waited almost ten minutes before being offered water. From there a second server popped by to take a drink order. Bread arrived with entrees. A third server stayed long enough to order a second round of drinks but not long enough to get the entire order. Ordering that last glass of wine took ten minutes. The glass of wine finally arrived after 15 minutes with dessert. Guests are treated to good food in an understaffed environment of disorganization. The cherry on this sundae? Every table is paying for it with the 3.5% up-charge. Makes you wonder what the quality would be if the restaurant just did it’s job and worried more about service than increasing their bottom line. A dismal meal all around.

   Disappointing. We have been customers for many many years. This was a very bad experience- what happened to the Clyde’s we loved? Food was not up to par- from the calamari ( dry, hard) to the fish- rockfish was ok but surrounding food- was that a warm salad? Not tasty. Pasta dish was good, Grandson liked it. Service was very slow and waiter seemed untrained- he was nice though. We were seated in the back and outside door kept opening- very cold night with air coming in. Not sure we will return to this Clyde’s.

   Comfortable, relaxing atmosphere with a nice variety of dependably good food and service. A great “go-to” place to meet up with friends.

   We brought a big group to Clyde's for lunch. The host team and the servers did an awesome job of putting up with our circus. Plus the food was excellent.

   The food was excellent, as always. But the service showed evidence of not being back to normal yet. There was a long delay between putting in our drink orders and actually receiving our libations. And when they arrived at the table, with apologies from the very nice and efficient server, our martinis were only slightly chilled and served in a champagne glass (without the 3 olives requested). Apparently, the bar had run out of martini glasses (and olives?). Two of the lamest martinis we've even been served anywhere. On the good side, the warmed bread was excellent, my oyster Rockefeller were fine, the calamari was fresh (though a bit salty for my taste) and our entrees (rockfish, a burger and a pasta dish) were all up to par. The server did comp our desserts to make up for the earlier wait (and the champagne glasses) and they were delicious. The small add-on "recovery fee" was annoying. Your menus are printed on paper; just print up new menus with revised prices. That recover fee brought you only about $7.50 extra on our bill but left us with a last-minute negative impression that may delay our return. Penny wise and pound foolish. We still love the ships, the planes, the cars and all the transportation posters and memorabilia, but it's been a long time since we've seen the train in operation. I was surprised and disappointed to learn that neither Courvoisier nor Grand Marnier was on your cognac list, but Remy Martin made an adequate substitute. We'll be back with hope for a continued return to normalcy.

   Nice atmosphere; very pleasant server. The prices are too high for what you get. Plus you tack on the extra % for restaurant recovrery (or whatever it's called.

   Clyde's has revised its menu, with more fish dishes, less plain meat - - like it a lot. Had the Icelandic cod with a very mild curry sauce, and it was delicious. The other fish dishes looked nice as well. Recommend.

    Clyde’s menu, quality, and service are consistently excellent. I love the grain bowls that have been added to the menu. They’ve added a “restaurant recovery fee” but it is small, and I hope it is going towards wages. All the staff there are excellent.

    Weeknight dinner with an out of town guest brought us to Clyde's. We had a lot of personal news to catch up on and were slow to decide on our dinner choices. Our waiter was patient and attentive and gave us the space and time to make our decisions. We ordered the Lorraine Burger with added mushrooms, the crispy chicken sandwich and the Steak salad. Both of the sandwich eaters chose the small market salad which was outstanding. Each of the dishes was prepared in the manner that was requested and all 3 of us were delighted with our meal. We will return again and again!

    Went for lunch and had outstanding food and atmosphere. Only drawback was the slow service. Server didn’t check back to see how our meal was or refill drinks. Then we waited over 15min for him to stop by so we could ask for our check.

    Service was not the best. Waitress acted like she could care less. We were one of the first groups at the restaurant when they opened and our food took a long time to come out and we had a toddler. Some food was warm some was not. Overall disappointed in the food, service and experience.

    Dependable service in very comfortable setting-not edgy or stark. Menu covers the basics with a few variations depending on the seasons. Burgers of various types remain the best choice for the value.

    Our waiter was completely clueless.....he literally took our drink orders and then 20 minutes later we flagged him down. How are those draft beers coming? We are busy making the beer. Given that it ended up being about 40 minutes until the Manager got flagged down and brought our drinks, himself, I'd suggest that waiter find another job. Worst I've had in years. The really good food made up for it and fortunately we weren't in a hurry, so it ended well.

    Clyde's of Chevy Chase can be counted on for good food, cheerfully served in a fun environment. To their credit, they lived up to expectations on a hectic New Year's Eve. I'll be glad to have a reason to return, hope that will be soon.

    It was our anniversary and they made it special for us. Our table was perfect and our waiter, was great! The food was wonderful. There was a little confusion with my hubby’s plate coming out with mine but it ended perfectly. The manager kept checking on us and our waiter was wonderful. They even served us champagne!🥂

    Waitress great very accommodating, been coming to Clydes and will keep coming back, the kale and bean soup was way too salty, should have asked for oil and vinegar for the great small mixed green salad, all the vinaigrettes were very tart and went right to my head for a migraine, ate the salad with no dressing, no words for the creme brûlée it wax out of this world delicious. I appreciate that Clyde’s has incorporated vegan and vegetarian options in their menu!

    The restaurant was very helpful in accommodating a guest with a broken knee cap, who had to keep her knee straight, but it went way downhill after that. The restaurant was very cold and we were told there was something wrong with the heating system. Our waiter took our order and then disappeared for about an hour. We tried three times to order a second glass of wine and didn’t get it until after our meal was over. We also asked to have our empty plates removed several times but they sat there for about 45 minutes after we finished eating until we moved them to an empty adjoining table. That is when our server finally showed up and admonished us for doing that. We could hear her walk away complaining loudly about us. It was a miserable experience.

    Current menu is not terribly exciting… old favorites like cream of crab soup and crab cakes are not worth ordering- Icelandic cod with coconut milk and lemongrass was good if you like fish.

    Christmas Eve 2022 enjoyed by husband with Clyde's Breakfast and my daughter enjoyed chicken tenders and fries. Unfortunately the steak and eggs were disappointing. I was set for steak and eggs I don't think I gave how I wanted the steak and the waiter didn't ask. The cold weather and the air in Clydes was chilly especially as the waiters walked by so I take the blame for not saying anything about how steak would be cooked / served. Egg shells in my scrambled eggs and the steak had a tendon that didn't allow me to enjoy my steak. I'm proud to be able to eat at Clyde's and one bad meal will not stop me from enjoying Clyde's restaurants.
