   The raw bar is always excellent. This time we had littleneck clams, which are always small but perfect for starters, and the fried calamari with delicata squash which was crisp and wonderful with a great sauce. My companion had the cod entree - a sizeable hunk of fish for luncheon but looked delicious. I had the salmon which was perfectly cooked. Desserts are naughty... had the cupcake of the day and it was well worth it. Our servers, Cliff and his son Cliff, were cheerful, helpful and always at the ready without being intrusive. Absolutely perfect. Thank you!

   The ambience of the Tower Oaks Lodge is fabulous. The service and the food is always great and this time the oysters were particularly delicious.

   I had a delicious hamburger last night! Cooked perfectly. My husband had the Cobb salad. He said it wasn’t as good as the last time. I found that with the market salad the last time I had it for lunch. It wasn’t as good as the past several times. Perhaps the chef has changed? It’s very important that the salads be consistent & outstanding.

    Had such a great experience. Was able to snag a Saturday night reservation. Arrived at 5:15 pm, not too busy then, but definitely busy when we left. Server was stellar! Good kids’ meal choices. Adult meals and drinks were A+. Even my very-picky mom was pleased! She is excited to return during her next trip!

    Clyde's Tower Oaks is consistent in good service and tasty entrees. WIne is getting better. Clyde's is our "go to" place when we don't want to be disappointed.

    As usual, everything excels at Tower Oaks. I love the food, especially that Lamb Burger. But the menu changes often enough that I could go every week without repeating a choice.

    This is a dependable destination restaurant. We have always experienced cheerful, attentive service. Rotating craft cocktails are fun and the menu selection is quite good. Veal osso bucco and the warm goat cheese tart are satisfying winter meals. Seasonal desserts are outstanding, particularly the pear sticky toffee pudding (more crisp winter pear than pudding), and a sensationally smooth creme brûlée. Coffee and coffee drinks, often an afterthought, are excellent and will end your meal on a high note.

    We are “regulars“ at TO. Typically go once a week. When available we like to sit in Chris’ area. He knows us , always provides friendly and prompt service. We love everything about TO - the lodge style environment, the food, the service. We’re well aware of challenging times that restaurants have been experiencing; having said that, the implementation of a “recovery fee” on our check was very disappointing . Patrons have already had to accept raising costs. We ourselves are dealing with “recovering and frankly surviving” in these challenging financial times; it was so very disappointing to see this added fee to an already more expensive dinner outing. We supported during Covid times, we continue to support now during financial trying times, please show your patrons some value and courtesy for that! It may not seem much (in $) but it’s the principal.

    Even though we asked him to bring it with our appetizers, our waiter forgot to bring our coffee after he dropped off our appetizers - and he then “disappeared.” Had to flag down another waiter who then brought our coffee.

    It’s been a long time since we have been in Maryland but this was one of our favorites when we lived in the area. It did not disappoint. The trout is always a winner. If I was being hyper critical I’d probably suggest that they improve their coffee. After dinner coffee has been our thing and can make or break a meal. Since they put so much attention to the details of their menu, service and decor, Why Not The Coffee? Having said all that, I will return and it is till one of my absolute favorites in the area.

    We have been going here for many years and this is the first time we were disappointed with the service. We didn’t receive a warm welcome at all when we arrived. Our server wasn't very attentive throughout our dinner. Our meals were excellent as always but more attention is needed on improving the service. Also it was noted on the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday and the server never acknowledged it.

    Came in right around 4:00 during a shift change. Took a little while to get seated as wait staff was still coming on dury and tables needed to be cleaned up prior to new guests sitting down for indoor dining. Our server was excellent. Food was delicious. Ambiance was relaxing and overall experience was fantastic. Will be back again in the not so distant future.

    The dinner was fabulous, very tasty. We both had fish dishes and they were excellent. However the dessert, the pear sticky pudding was overly sweet. The pears were great and the whipped cream too, but the walnut whip just tasted like pure sugar. I guess some people like that but not me.

    Loved the atmosphere, our waitress was very nice and attentive, however food was average. My friend ordered a Bloody Mary and traditional Eggs Benedict and I a glass of wine and Chicken sandwich with fries. Bloody Mary was lacking as well as my chicken sandwich and fries… lukewarm at best. We didn’t want to complain because everything else was nice. We will give it one more chance

    They greeted us with our reservation and then forgot us at the bar. The reservation got cancelled by the system. After an hour we went to see the hostess and we’re seated. It was a disappointing experience, though it was a very busy night.

    Clyde’s offers a very good menu appealing to all tastes. Appetizers are excellent. We shared the calamari, which were succulent, and the trout and salmon entrees were both generous and perfectly prepared. A pear martini was priced at $17, which is way too much, especially when very little alcohol was detected! Overall, Clyde’s has great ambiance for a date night or dinner with family .. lighting is soft, and the service was prompt and efficient.

    We were there without children and wanted a date night. The restaurant is so big that I didn't think to ask for a table away from kids. I thought it's common sense. Well, a toddler was back to back with us and he was cute but he was coughing badly with a raddled sound and peeking over a lot. We got moved and got a discount so that was good but wouldn't it be common sense when a couple makes a reservation to sit them away from kids.
