Food is really excellent, fish and chips, beef tenders, salmon and their Brussel sprouts side are all well prepared. Guiness is good and the service is excellent. It's a large open space but we asked for a quiet table and got one in the corner which was not too loud. Highly recommend the place.

Best thanksgiving meal! I love this place and take my kids here for all sorts of occasions. We went for thanksgiving and they had a fabulous meal of Turkey, Ham, two types of potatoes, stuffing, peas and carrots. My goodness it was amazing. My kids opted for the pigs and blankets, and after, they had soft serve made just for them. The service was top notch, the people who work there are so incredibly lovely and we always have a fabulous time. I am so happy this place is near by.

Ate lunch at this restaurant for Thanksgiving. They offered their traditional lunch menu plus a Thanksgiving meal option with turkey, pork, ham, dressing, carrots, and potato. The butternut squash risotto was amazing--party in your mouth. Very rich. The Thanksgiving meals were tasty. The apple crumble was disappointing--little flavor and apples were not quite cooked enough. Service was ok but a ltitle stingy--asked for gravy and got a tiny bit extra--had to ask again for the other diner. Same with requested whipped cream--teeny tiny bit. Atmosphere is lovely, as always, plus festive with tasteful Christmas decorations.

One of our go to places. Food and service usually wonderful. Last night my husbands burger was well done instead of medium rare. As well as my sons. My meal was delicious as usual. Kitchen a little off their game. Overall, Love this place. Host was great and great pace for holiday meals.

This was my first experience with The Hunter's Hound. We were meeting a couple of friends who had recommended the restaurant and had had a good experience in the past. I have to say my first impression was pretty disappointing. The entire bar was reserved for two parties, and the bartenders would now allow us to order a drink while we waited for our friends. We were then seated in a back part of the restaurant with a server who hardly visited the table. The food was good overall. They have a decent happy hour. It took forever to get the check and to have our plates cleaned. Overall, service is lacking.

Visited for lunch. The bun on my burger and the bread on my friend's club sandwich fell apart. I ended up eating the burger with a knife and fork. Our other friend enjoyed his risotto however and we all appreciated the beer menu. Our server was pleasant and efficient. Maybe just come for the beer and some starters the next time?

Such a breath of fresh air to walk into an Irish pub that is reflective of modern Ireland - bright, spacious and stylish but with old fashioned hospitality and service. Loved it! The “nosebag” was top knotch too!

I had fish and chips which was good. The fact that the fish was cut up into several portions meant that there was more batter than I would have liked. Not too big a deal but having the option of one piece of fish would have been appreciated. I will return and ask next time!

All went well. My first time. Was surprised that I had to pay for parking although I had obtained validation ticket from our waitress. Thoughtfully marked “2.” I have never had to pay for parking at Clyde’s.

Very enjoyable brunch with Irish plates that were delicious and ample. They made a mistake with my order (a larger version of what I ordered). They came back and apologized, and assumed the up charge. Very pleasant pub-like environment. Really charming servers; very reasonably priced. A coffee bar and Irish specialty store (candy, condiments, and dry goods) adjoin the restaurant. A keeper!

I ordered a club sandwich with some chicken in it. If the chicken was real pieces of chicken. It was really dry so I did not enjoy it too much. I think a regular club sandwich would’ve been better. Also I had to request some mayonnaise and some mustard. I might come back, but certainly won’t choose this dish.

Had wanted to try this new addition to the neighborhood and glad I did. Sat outside on a beautiful night with prompt and friendly service. Nice ambience and while not in the inside for very long, it had a warm feel to it. The food was very good and portions of good size. I just wish the menu was more extensive. Will go back and try some other dishes... My friend had the fish and chips - they were ample but breaded a little too heavily but tasted great.
