    Clyde's is a classic restaurant in the DC area and there is no doubt about that. We generally frequent the Ashburn location and used to go quite frequently to the one in Reston (which shut down) and came to this location in Alexandria for a quick lunch and were not very thrilled with the service. Although the waitress seemed very friendly, she assumed that even though they got the order wrong, I would still eat it. After notifying the waiter that brought the food to our table that the salad I ordered was incorrect- nobody came to our table for the next 10 minutes and thus I ate the incorrect item as I didn't have much time to waste and wait. The food is expensive, which leads to a pretty big tip, but the service definitely isn't at the level that it should be to warrant returning customers.

    On a late Saturday night mission for good drinks and bites, a quick Google search led my best friend and I to Clyde's. And I must say, we were not disappointed. The ambiance of the restaurant is something of a cozy lake house, with a beautiful koi pond outside. So I was automatically thrilled by the looks of this place. We sat at the bar, and were promptly greeted by the bartender with waters and menus. I have been craving a Lemon Drop Martini with passion fruit for AGES and so I asked the bartender if he could make one and he absolutely delivered! Also, the Oysters Rockefeller were so yummy that we ordered two rounds. I will absolutely be back to try out more beverages and food items from Clyde's!

    Great vibes and atmosphere, though the food didn't quite meet expectations. The atmosphere: The restaurant is beautifully decorated with an outdoorsy theme, unique signage and animal details, plus a lovely pond outside. The food: For starters, we tried the Point Judith Rhode Island Calamari and the Crab and Artichoke Dip. The calamari was the highlight of the meal with a bright lemon flavor and tasty dipping sauce. The dip was just okay, and the bread was a bit tough. I ordered the Steakhouse Burger, but the bleu cheese and overall flavor weren't my favorite. My parents had the Maine Lobster Fra Diavolo, which had a watery sauce and unevenly cooked noodles. The service: Service was pleasant and attentive.

    I have to reflect on a review left by my friend over 10 years ago. This place *could* be a big deal, but based on the elaborate 'golden age of sailing' dark themed decor and prices, I'd have expected just a bit better. First of all out server, I believe Robert, was very friendly. He recommended the happy hour oysters, but then I told him I was from Maine. Then he said they had Maine oysters... well, he didn't get where I was going with my snooty comment. Anyway, we did end up getting an OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER, and I thought it was very good. My mother got the CRAB CAKE, and it was something that I knew I *should* have got based on our proximity to Maryland waters, but I couldn't justify the spend. I did have a few bites from Mom's plate and it was very good. Try the summer variant for something a little different on the side. For myself, in hopes of repeating my outstanding experience at Street & Co., I opted for the SWORDFISH but was very disappointed. It was kind of tough and dry, and the seasonings didn't do anything for it. Type of thing you could get at Ruby Tuesday's or something. Would love to give this place a chance, because I can tell they have potential, but based on price and the swordfish, I can't give it more than three stars.

    My wife brought me last night for birthday and Clydes didnt disappoint! The server was amazing he made sure we had everything we needed to celebrate the evening the food was also amazing. I have to say they really made my birrhday very special.

    Faroe Salmon salad

    Clyde's at Mark Center really came through! I ordered the Faroe Island Salmon Salad and buffalo wings through Uber Eats, and everything was so bomb. The salmon was fresh and perfectly cooked, sitting on top of a flavorful, well-balanced salad. And the buffalo wings? I didn't even get a chance to snap a photo because I scarfed them down instantly--seriously that good! Everything arrived well-packaged and still hot, which is always a win with delivery. Now my partner is taking me to the Clyde's in DC so I can try the double fried wings, and I cannot wait. Clyde's has definitely earned a new regular customer!

    I don't recommend any of the pastas or dips. Extremely salty. Their burgers and fish & chips are very good. The services are great though.

    3.5 I stopped in for dinner at the bar and had a mixed experience. The service was friendly (albeit slow) and the atmosphere is what you'd expect from this Clyde's. A lot of what I ordered was good, but one item really missed. The wings were flavorful and overall solid, even if the texture was a little off and they took longer than expected (17 minutes). The fries, coleslaw, and tartar sauce were great. The real disappointment was the "Jumbo" Crab Cake. It was small, and the flavor leaned more toward stuffing than crab. For the price, I expected something with real lump-crab taste and texture, and it just didn't deliver. Everything else on the plate was good, which made the crab cake stand out even more as the weak spot. And for anyone who jumps in with, "Well, what do you expect, it's seafood in Alexandria?" That's not a real explanation. Plenty of places around here manage to serve proper crab cakes without tasting like stuffing, so that excuse doesn't hold up. I'd go back for the wings (maybe), oysters, or other dishes, but I'd skip the crab cake at this location. I'm open to giving Clyde's another try, but if you're looking specifically for a great crab cake, this isn't the place.

    The food was amazing as always and our server Daniel L was excellent as well. The sangria and Brussels were my favorites but we would have ordered everything we had again! This is our go-to spot for amazing buffalo wings.

    First of all, the place is beautiful! We ate in the maritime room which is tastefully decorated. The ambience is of walking into a fine home where your manners need to be on display. It's not stuffy by any means. I love looking at the koi in the pond outside the restaurant. There is plenty of parking, There is also a bar. I ordered a classic daiquiri (not a blender one) and is was perfectly made. The food is delicious. I got salmon and it was cooked perfectly. My salad was fresh and the dressing was homemade. Our server was attentive and friendly.

    Walked down from the Hilton to Clyde's. Five minute jaunt. Cozy atmosphere on entry. Met quickly with a smile. Seated and had water within minutes. Server was and efficient. Food was well prepared and excellent quality and quantity. Worth the walk. Price to value was spot on.

    Early Mother's Day dinner with my kids and Grandson. Clyde' s look like a restaurant made just for an outdoors person-dark woods with a theme heavy on fishing, animals and boats. My Grandson loved the boat replica that was inside the building and the animal heads mounted on the walls. The feel was cozy and comfortable with booths or tables (we had a booth). We had early dinner reservations at 5 which was perfect timing as it was quiet when we arrived but got busier as the evening went on. We started with Calamari that everyone shared which were perfect. I had the Bell and Haven Half Chicken and my Husband had the whole Roasted Rainbow Trout. Both were well-seasoned and delicious. This is saying a lot for my Husband who generally only eats his fish fried. Dessert was strawberry shortcake that was shared and it was delicious. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and our waiter was very attentive. 10/10. Clyde's is on our list for future restaurants.

    A great meeting spot--plenty of room. No one was in there. Fast service. Food was okay. I was told the other Clyde's locations are way better.

The focus of this restaurant is on food and art. I saw a man painting when I walked in here and it was very detailed. It is a lively scene in here. Palette is a nice play on words for the art palette and palate for taste. They serve tapas (small plates) for a reasonable price. There is an all you can eat option in which your entire table has to order, or you can order a la carte. I ordered primarily off the happy hour menu which included the chicken slider, shrimp tacos, jerk chicken skewer, garlic wings and for dessert, I got churros. Most of the food here were extremely salty and did not agree with my palate. The shrimp tacos were the best thing I ate as the veggies gave the taco a refreshing taste. Not the most sanitary either as I found a piece of hair in my food. There is a parking garage nearby a block away.

Karaoke is hopefully back to stay on Fridays from 9pm-1am. When it gets busy, the service can be slow. However, it is usually good. They have a private back room on the ground floor for hosting private parties, holiday parties, birthdays, corporate events and happy hours. The rooftop patio has a full bar and is very nice to eat there and relax in warmer weather. Bathrooms are usually clean. There are two entrances -- one sliding door without stairs near the ground floor outside patio and the main entrance does have stairs. There are no elevators. The ground floor is massive and able to hold hundreds of people. This is a great spot for sports, brunch, karaoke, and just socializing.

Samuel Beckett's deserves extra points for NOT raising prices to the same degree as some of its Shirlington neighbors.

Very cool vibe: dark, cozy, and date-night ready. Drinks: 4/5 I ordered their take on an Old Fashioned, and it was definitely the highlight of the night but sweeter than I would have liked. They served it over a stamped solid block of ice (a small detail I ). My friend was abstaining from alcohol that night and asked for a non-alcoholic cocktail. To our surprise, they didn't just hand her a lemonade like most places -- they actually made her a crafted virgin drink, which she loved. Food: 3/5 We ordered fries and a slice of pepperoni pizza. The fries turned out to be waffle fries (not mentioned on the menu) and were overly crispy, so not really our favorite. The pizza was fine -- clearly sourced from the shop downstairs -- but it leaned oily and didn't really wow us. Service: 5/5 Pretty standard -- nothing over the top, but not neglectful either. Drinks came out reasonably fast, food followed, and we were checked on enough without it feeling pushy. Vibes: 4/5 The speakeasy itself is definitely the selling point. Dark, intimate, and stylish -- you feel like you've found a little hidden spot. All in all, the cocktails are the reason to come, especially if you're into whiskey. The food was forgettable, but it's convenient that you can order pizza upstairs. We spent about $30-40 for drinks and snacks, which isn't shocking for Old Town. Would I go back? Maybe if I was already in the area, but for a dedicated whiskey night, I'd probably head somewhere else.
