French onion soup equals what you’d get in France. Wolf fish was excellent as was the veal scalloping. The chef did a fabulous job.

Sunday Brunch is excellent! I enjoy the extravagant Bloody Mary and Mimosa bar that comes with the meal. The three course brunch has lots of good choices and never disappoints. We were able to add an extra appetizer of Irish Soda Bread that was scrumptious. I can understand why it is difficult to get the Lemon Raspberry Cake when you come later in the day, but THIS time they had it. Although it took a while to arrive, it was WORTH THE WAIT! Can’t wait until the next time we go!

From start to finish, the Clyde's experience is so refreshing and enjoyable. I would highly recommend making a reservation. We arrived 15 minutes early, but still shown immediately to a table. The ambiance at Clyde's is charming and rustic, with plenty of space to accommodate large groups. I never had to wait for a drink and the wait staff is on top of everything. I highly recommend the fillet-mignon. It is always cooked perfectly. The Whipped Yukon gold potatoes and triple Mac n cheese are probably ly our favorite sides. The portions are perfect for sharing as well. As a final thought, I would heartily advise tasting the crab and artichoke dip. All in all, a perfect place for a nice date night, or bringing a group of friends and family. Nice and formal without being austentacious.

Angela was wonderful as always, and able to accommodate moving us to another table because the music was a little loud for our ears. She is absolutely wonderful and Customer eccentric and super talented as well. Our server Catalina was amazing, professional, knowledgeable, charming, and absolutely delightful. The Château O’Brien Vintners reserve line was incredible. Truly outstanding. And the cheesy bread is irresistible ! Such a wonderful evening thank you all !

Excellent food — creative mix of flavors and ingredients! Wait staff friendly and not pretentious. Beautiful romantic setting. Our Valentine’s Day favorite!
