2023 SURCHARGE

Our restaurants have been operating with extraordinary increases in the cost of doing business. High inflation, rising wages and supply chain challenges have continued beyond the pandemic creating a difficult operating environment. We have reluctantly chosen to implement a separate 3.75% fee for 2023 with the hope that it can be eliminated in the future as conditions improve. We appreciate your support and understanding.

We have been many times to your restaurant and have always been very very happy with our meal. However on Saturday we all chose the pork schnitzel which was featured on the menu. Unfortunately it was terrible. Not at all like a schnitzel but the worst part was that all the meals were overcooked and completely burned on the edges. My husband sent his back with the waitress to show the chef the problem

Lobster dinner was good, but coleslaw has been downsized to a tiny cup of chopped cabbage and potato side was small. Crab dip and bread and rolls were good.

This is my go-to choice when having lunch with friends since we gather for conversation as well as food. The back dining room is pretty quiet even when full. The bacon cheeseburger and the turkey panini were exceptional, and our server was fantastic. We lingered for 2+ hours and never felt rushed. Parking is easy and the setting is attractive. The lunch crowd skews older together with groups of all kinds. Large roomy bar area where I noticed several people working on their computers so this may be a place to have lunch when you need to get out of the office but still do some work.

Tower Oaks is a a regular lunch spot and has been for several years now. I don't know how they do it, but they provide consistently good food and service -- and am very grateful that they do. This visit was yet another perfect one. The chicken cobb salad was great and the pumpkin-pecan pie is back!! Kudos to the entire staff for a great time.

Been coming here for years. For the first time we noticed that the portion size of one our favorite appetizers, the crab and artichoke dip. Was MUCH smaller than before. One order used to be enough for four, now it was not enough for three. We also ordered a dozen oysters for an appetizer, and they never came. The ribeye steak was good, it was a thick cut ordered medium rare and the center was a bit rare, but still good overall. The sautéed mushrooms were fantastic.

Another outstanding meal at one of our favorite restaurants. Upon entering at the check-in desk, my bride asked the fellow for a suggestion. The GiGi burger, he said. I had it and it was magnificent. Also enjoyed the crab soup, which could have come in a gallon pail and I would have scarfed it. Wife had a green salad with chicken added; she was pleased. Beers were excellent. Dessert was to die for; baklava cheesecake. Our waitress was tremendous, both of us connected well with her. I'm looking forward to our next visit.

Upset when presented a bill with an added surcharge. We are too long past the pandemic for that BS! Waiter was very pleasant but inattentive. I think he may have been too husy in another room. Food and drinks were very good

The food was excellent. The ambience lovely. But the best thing about Clyde’s Tower Oaks was Malakai - our server. He was attentive, funny, knowledgeable, focused, and added so much to the experience for us. We shall definitely visit again and be sure to ask to sit in Malakai’s section.

We just moved to the DMV (just learned what this means - lol), and we were looking for a quality restaurant to have our first night dining out in the area. Wow - this place blew us away for ambiance, service and most importantly, fantastic food!!! I highly recommend Tower Lodge for couples, families and parties. This place is a definite gem for us in the neighborhood now. We plan to go back soon when fresh lobster is added to the menu - supposedly starting a week from today's review. ;-)

Kelly our server was outstanding, perhaps the best server we have had at Tower Oaks in years. The oysters at Tower Oaks are always excellent; those from Prince Edward Island are standouts. Overall we thought the food (burger, steak salad, bread, gazpacho) was significantly improved from our recent visits. Thumbs up, especially to Kelly and the chef.

Clydes used to be one of our favorite restaurants: good environment, good food, good service and reasonable price. The quality of food and service seem not quite close in recent 2-3 years. The dinner last night shows some of the trend too.

I have been eating at TOL for almost as long as they have been open - things were a bit rocky after Jeff Eng left, and went downhill a bit when the Washington Post /Graham Holdings bought out Clydes. The food is back up to par, and service is pretty good too. We had a very tasty lunch in the Great Room, which was a bit empty due to the holiday weekend (which made for a very comfortable noise level). The only gripe I have is this - how is it that a restaurant that consistently serves creative entrees and appetizers serves mediocre coffee, even worse teas, and overly sweet desserts that look like they belong at the Cheesecake factory? C'mon Tower Oaks - you can do better!

Great one ofa kind restaurant with upscale "great outdoors" decor. Food and service are always superb. Wait staff is friendly and helpful with making substitutions (if the included side is not quite to your liking). The charcuterie board is an excellent starter. And the cupcake of the day was just enough to finish off the excellent dinner.
