    It is now a many year tradition that we come for Christmas Eve dinner and our visit this year was outstanding as always! The hostesses that greeted us were so kind and accommodating. Our waiter Henry was wonderful at his job but more importantly just a lovely man! The food was delicious and the energy at the restaurant was really fun! Thanks again for an amazing Christmas Eve, see you next year, we’ll be back soon!

    My husband and I decided to grab an early lunch while we were picking up a Christmas dinner order in the area. I had no idea that there was a sister restaurant to Clyde’s. I have been to the location in DC, and I really enjoyed it there. So, I figured I would have the same experience, and I was right. The food is delicious, it was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and our server was knowledgeable and friendly. We didn’t even need to ask for refills; a replacement drink was on the table before we could even think to ask. Now, that is some stellar service! We will return with friends, and I have already recommended to a friend who is also a fan of Clydes in DC. Happy holidays!

    On a busy holiday night, they were able to seat us ahead of our reservation when we were early. The staff was attentive and accommodated an indecisive preteen:) Mussels, crab cakes, rollentini, Alfredo, arrabiatta, bruschetta, as well as a wood fired pizza were among the orders. All were delicious. If you’re in the Rockville area, you can’t go wrong with this place!

    Interesting mix of Maryland and Spanish tapas. Definitely ask for the large Paella which isn't on their menu.
