    Phenomenal staff, and great recommendations. We had short ribs, shrimp and grits and the fantastic pasta after a unique fried burrata appetizer. We got to try wines before drinking and got the chocolate martinis for dessert. It was a perfect dinner! Will go back and explore anything on the menu!

    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.
