    We had a party of six on Christmas afternoon and it was lovely. The food is great, centralized location, great plating, wide array of menu choices. Jasmine was a terrific waitress. We even asked to change table locations and it was accommodated with no stress. I can’t wait to visit DC again and come back to this great find!

    Will was a fantastic waiter. He was so helpful with our daughter’s food allergies by checking with the chef regarding ingredients. All 6 of us enjoyed our food and the specialty drinks were yummy. Clyde’s was the perfect choice for our Christmas Eve dinner.

    I’ve eaten here multiple times and the food is always excellent. The service is wonderful, professional, and attentive. But the food is stand out! It’s priced as you would expect a high-end restaurant in DC. I would recommend it to anyone. Beautiful restaurant decor as well. Great spot for lunch. Enjoy.
