Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Friendship Heights

Clyde’s is always my wife and I go to for a late night meal and drink. The service is always on point

When we arrived on Valentine’s Day place was packed and buzzing & despite reservation sent us to wait in the lobby. We are much older than their party/ bar clientele, one in wheelchair, thought we should just leave. But the waiters were incredible, brought snacks to the lobby,,found us the one relatively quiet table, and checked up on us during the evening. We were not staying in the hotel. No reason why we wd go again and it was a late choice on a holiday night, but the staff was so kind we will definitely recommend them.

My wife and I went here for Valentine's day. The food quality was overall very good. The salad we ordered was ok, but the waiter promptly offered a replacement for my wife. The oysters were (in my opinion - over 20 for 6 smaller variety ones) overpriced, but generally I expect that some in a restaurant like this. I do give them good marks for overall experience and ambiance. My wife prefers the high tables in the bar area, but this is no ordinary bar area, there are dedicated wait staff...plenty of them. The service is prompt, but not overbearing. The entrees were quite good, and the dessert special presentation was also on point. I put this in my special occasion category due to the price, but I would not call it outlandish. Really like the bar seating and vibe there...nothing crazy and not overcrowded. The main restaurant is well lit, but some of the seating is a little tight and normal height tables. Service throughout is consistent.

Me and my wife’s first time and it will not be the last thank you for a wonderful experience!

Everything we ordered was EXCELLENT! Every bite! The restaurant is expensive but it’s absolutely worth it.
