    From the point of arrival throughout the entire dining experience, everything was perfect! The House manager sat us promptly and offered complimentary champagne. The food was amazing, and our waitress was awesome- she was professional, knowledgeable, offered great recommendations, and was attentive throughout the evening. We tried 4 different appetizers and different entrees. Everyone enjoyed their food and the ambiance with music in the background made it a great experience! A $600+ bill- would gladly do it again! You definitely get what you pay for here.

    Very busy night for FF! We went there tonight on Christmas, which also happens to be my birthday. There was a mix up with the prime rib and they ended up being out of it but didn’t find out until my family had their food. I work in a restaurant so I know these things happen sometimes. They were extremely accommodating. The manager, Chris, and our server (her name just slipped from my mind!) went above and beyond! They made sure that we left feeling happy and that’s all we could really ask for! The food was delicious as always! P.s- Please add a nonalcoholic beer option to your menu! 😁

    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!

    Yet another lovely evening celebrating the holidays at chez Francois! A Christmas tradition in our family; we look forward to it every year and are never disappointed. Indulge in the Christmas specials (the Wellington is to die for), and enjoy the festive and perfect service and atmosphere. 10 out of 10!

    This was the first time we came to the restaurant for breakfast. It was delicious! My sister and I ordered the Vanilla French Toast and we both loved them an almost finished eating them. She did order some bacon and it was cooked perfectly too. Our brother ordered the Breakfast Club Sandwich and he loved his meal too! It was a great day at the Breakfast Club! We will definitely go back to eat!
