Food was very good and the restaurant is nice and clean but the service was so slow and the lack of interest from the waitstaff was just shocking.I hope they improve the service to attract more people and stay in business bc the food is very good and prices are not bad at all...

Pleasantly accommodating. Moved outside as music too loud to carry on a table conversation. Food good! Server accessible and willing but hesitant in finding out answers to food/drink questions. Overall very good experience!

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!

Food was good but the gluten free options or how they show gluten free options on the menu are a bit confusing. The waiter was not as knowledgeable about what was gluten free but did check with the chef. Overall a nice place.

Service was friendly, efficient and fast. Delicious Caesar salad with plenty of excellent quality Parmigiana cheese. Fish and chips was notably crispy and fresh- with the fries particularly good.

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.

The food is a bit of a hit or miss - Pub favorites are always good but if sometimes specials are a bit off the mark. but I go for the friendliness and good service and the good drinks. Late night at the bar is fantastic a well.

We had mothers Day brunch. Service was average. It took quite a while to place our order and it was a long wait to get drinks refilled. We sat outside and it was hot. The food was under-seasoned. We had two club sandwiches and the chicken was bland. Same for the Cobb salad. The avocado toast was a large portion but equally underseasoned. We ordered the soda bread and were surprised to get some type of sliced bread from a loaf. Not all the traditional soda bread we were expecting.

Came for a casual birthday dinner. Our first visit, and it was very good. Had the burgers and the fish and chips. Both excellent (and discounted for happy hour.). Lovely dessert was a freebie for the birthday. Wait staff was accommodating. Plan to return soon. Very pleasant and food surprisingly good!

The place was not very busy, so don't rely too much on my noise level analysis. We had a very green server (this was her second day as a server) who was well coached and learning fast. My salmon was superb also. My only regret is that I do not live closer to them.

The service was inattentive, at best. The server did not check with us about our food until we were finished! The salad did not have any dressing--or very little. The lettuce was basically chopped iceberg--less interesting than expected. The server was doing something on her phone at the kitchen and couldn't be bothered. We had to leave the table to ask her for the check. I won't return to Hunter's Hound again.

We had a terrific time, good food, friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. Beautiful day to eat outdoors. The fish and chips and mussels and salads were perfect. The smoked white fish is nicely smoked and flavorful. The tuna tartare was overpowered by fresh ginger. The Irish bread excellent. The service was friendly and attentive. Somehow the main course was served well ahead of the appetizers so we did dinner a bit backwards. But overall very good.
