Menu choices where on par, but I must say my dining experience not so much. Felt rushed and frankly a bother. Maybe I should have said, hey remember me, the "customer". In the end I just finished my process and gave a tip in spite of. I am a food industry girl and would fell bad not to tip, but... More

This is a good place to eat if you're in the neighborhood, although I wouldn't make it a destination. The strawberry spinach salad is wonderful. It's kind of a cross between a sports bar and a large chain restaurant. It's huge with seating capacity over 600 people.

We had Sunday morning brunch here and everything was great. I had the eggs benedict and a friend ordered the eggs chesapeake (think crab cakes instead of ham) which looked fantastic. Service was incredibly friendly. The little coffee cakes were incredible...I'd go just to have some of those again! Everything looked and tasted great and I would definitely go back... More

The location, the ambience and the gastronomical indulgence are perfect for a commemorative dinner experience with a larger group of friends and colleagues. Everyone in our group enjoyed very much the meals, the drinks and the professional and friendly staff of Clyde's. Great place to dine!

We visited Clyde's over Memorial Day weekend and enjoyed the atmosphere and the service very much. Our server was VERY attentive and kept good tabs on us. The food was good but I wouldn't say great. I had the ribeye which was more fat than meat and that is the only steak on their menu (surpassingly). My wife had the... More

10 of us had a reunion lunch at Clydes of Gallery place recently. My secretary, bless her heart, had made the reservation somewhere else, so they had no record of this large party. Kudos to Clyde's for finding a table at the last minute and accommodating all 10 of us, even though the restaurant was crowded, as it usually is... More

Restaurant was packed before a hockey game and we were still seated in a great window booth upstairs as requested when we'd made our reservation. Drinks and food were good, my husband loved the oyster selection. Great kids menu for our daughter, fun with a lot of variety. Some of the menu items seemed fancier than the atmosphere. Service was... More

We made reservations for Mother's Day and had a lovely lunch! We were seated and brought water very quickly, along with some delicious coffee cake to share with the table. I ordered a large salad and ate every bit of it, while my family went with brunch options. The menu isn't huge, but there seemed to be something there for... More
