    The ambiance, menu choices and service were all perfect. I highly rate Clyde’s Lodge and will continue to go there regularly. If you have not been you should definitely try it out.

    This was my first time visiting and it had a nice relaxed atmosphere. I was the first customer to arrive for the evening. It wasn't very busy due to the recent snow. My biggest issue was service. Although not very busy, the food came out at a slow pace. We ordered the oysters as a starter and a couple of cocktails. It was probably 15 to 20 minutes before getting our drinks. The oysters took a little while as well. However, they were delicious once they arrived. Once the entrees finally arrived, my companion was missing their entree. A waitress came by and asked what they ordered and made an excuse and that it would be coming right away. Thankfully, we ordered the macaroni and cheese and brussel sprouts sides. The macaroni and cheese was tasty, but the topping was a little burnt. It was at least another 20 minutes with no entree, when we finally asked the manager to just send it back and we were done. She said she would bring it out and take the charge off. That was the last we saw of her. Finally a server brought the order of scallops and risotto after I had finished my entree. The risotto was rushed, liquidy, and inedible. The manager never stopped back by to check to see how we were doing. No one apologized for the missing order. It took almost 2 hours total to get all of our food.. Like I said previously, it was it wasn't a very busy evening and I was the first to arrive. We couldn't enjoy our meals together and put a damper on the evening. There are no prices on the cocktails. I personally thought they were a little overpriced for what you got. They were tasty, but weak. Expect to pay $20 and above for each drink.

    This was our first experience here. Let me start by saying the service was excellent. The wait staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a most enjoyable experience. The risotto was delicious. But the main course was even better. I had a delmonico steak that was five stars along with potato puree. My wife had a filet that would absolutely melt in your mouth. We would definitely recommend Gordon Ramsay’s to anyone. Very impressed.

    Excellent location for a celebration. Best drinks around - though the beer menu could be expanded! Adequate selection of wines… but that’s all drinks! You go there for the FOOD… and GOOD it is. Not high brow but a use of spices that is tantalizing without tongue-numbing as some places. The best evidence is the subtle smoke flavor of the Baba Ganousch…the BEST! Only fault was we were not forewarned of the 3% surcharge on using credit; had we known we would have brought cash… next time, for sure. ;-)
