The quality of the food was excellent, and we truly enjoyed our meal. However, there was one detail that disappointed us. Even though lemonade and sodas were listed on the drinks menu, they were not available, and the server instead guided us toward ordering a non-alcoholic cocktail that cost more than twice the price of the sodas.

Every year before 2025, Clyde's is decorated for the season and very beautiful. This year a small tree by the door and that was it. What happened to all the beautiful poinsettias? Disappointing. Service was a little lacking in comparison to my other many visits as well. Duroc Pork Milanese was terrific though--great job in the kitchen and from the bartenders.
Bernard
The food and service as amazing. We had a variety of brunch options. It turned out very well.
Kristin
I treated my staff to lunch for Xmas. They were very happy about everything! They told me it was a great choice! This was their first time at Clyde's.
Keviana
It was such a great experience for my dad's birthday. The service and food were awesome and really appreciated our waitress.
Kelsey
Overall good experience, however price seemed a little high compared to the amount of food we were given. We ordered wings and the sliders. The sliders were meh for presentation and quantity for price however the wings were good for price and quantity. Still had a good time dining though.

Food was amazing per usual. Started with half order wings but when asked for double dipped still received regular wings. No harm tho still great taste. Highly recommend the calamari too and our oysters were so fresh! Server was a bit aloof and the young lady that brought our drinks almost wasted on us and not too long after drenched another guest while delivering drinks. We had steak, crab cakes, more wings and salmon and everything tasted perfect. Our sorbet and ice cream dessert was a wonderful finish although I don't remember being recommended anything from our server. We had picked a few drinks of the cocktail menu as well and the winter sidecar was insanely good. Not many pics taken bc our conversation was too good but good to come back again. Amber collected our checks but wasn't our server but her energy was great n we hope to sit with her in the future

Love this place! Everything about this restaurant is top notch! I appreciate the many Gluten Free options available!

CLyde's is one of my go-to's. Always good food and service. Reasonably priced (especially for DC).

Been here twice. Service and food are top notch. Love the meatloaf! One of our favorite places to eat near the Klein Theater & National Portrait Gallery.
Waiter--DJ--was very kind and attentive. Menu is more limited than I would like. But my wife had the crab cakes and I the Norwegian Benedict and they were fine. The glass level on my Old Fashioned was a little skimpy. It's an extremely attractive place for a couple like us to come and to bring D.C. visitors.

We had a pleasant lunch experience. The calamari was delicious and the service was attentive but not overbearing. Thank you 🙏

We arrived at 3:15 and were seated promptly. After a short wait, we ordered drinks and sandwiches. The drinks came fairly quickly. However, our sandwiches did not come to our table until 4:35 despite assurances they would be coming fairly soon. The waitress said the manager would come to speak to us. He helped bring food but didn't identify himself as the manager and dismissively said sorry . On the way out, I discovered he was the manager and asked him to explain why it took almost an hour for a sandwich. He didn't apologize and only said there was a big party (despite place being empty at that hour) and maybe ticket was misplaced. I am not a complainer and often go to Clyde's Tower Oaks and Friendship Heights but I won't go the Gallery Place again.

Clyde's is consistently good with one of the best salads, burgers and crab cakes anywhere. I have never had a bad meal. Service was excellent, server was friendly, prompt and kept drinks filled. Great experience as always!!

The restaurant appeared to have a staff shortage issue. I came in around 4:30pm. After 20 minutes my order was not taken. Upon looking over at other tables, it was clear to me that they hadn't ordered or received their food either. My child had enough time to complete all of the activities on her children's menu and was very hungry. Knowing that after 20 minutes and not ordering yet, the wait time to receive the food would be significant, we simply left and went to chick-fil-A across the street. I use to be a frequent patron when I lived in the DMV, it's sad to see how far the establishment has fallen.
