    A defining new moment for me trying hookah for the first time on Friday. I can tell you that it is…read moredefinitely not my choice of a fun or relaxed time but my experience was nonetheless great. The lounge is next door to Class 520 and caters a very small, private lot of up to 15 - 20 cars at a maximum. The establishment is dimly lit but well furnished with several tables, chairs and couches. There's a single, gender-neutral bathroom in the back of the lounge for anyone to use. Everything is clean inside and outside the lounge and I appreciate the sanitary measures the employees take with wiping the areas and equipments. Their menu has extensive choices of flavors. I tried their Strawberry Mint which tasted subtle with a hint of sweetness. I don't have much to compare it to since it was my first time, but I did enjoy the flavor. You also have the ability to mix flavors which is a cool add-on. Service here is outstanding. The moment you walk in, you're immediately greeted and seated. My friends and I informed the staff that this was all our first time and they made the effort to explain their recommendations, most popular flavors and how our experience would work. I appreciated their patience with answering our questions and that they were continuously checking up on us. Yelp also has a 15% code available for use which ultimately brought our total to $20 amongst 4 people. Totally affordable and such a great deal. I personally would recommend this place to anyone looking for a hookah lounge in the area.

It's intimate and music isn't too loud, so it's easy to talk. Service is always good, and their menu always has good flavors. Last night I had mint & orange and it was very very good! One of the things I like most about this place is that they do not serve alcohol, so the crowd and energy always feels relaxed. Now unfortunately my rating is due to the bathroom.... Like it was BEYOND gross last night. I haven't been in a while so this had me in disgust.

My son wanted a kids burger with no cheese and extra pickles, they had to remake it because it had cheese and then it came without pickles. We had to get attention to get some finally. I ordered a crab roll which was great and my husband enjoyed his food. He was here for work and we tagged along, so it was nice to have in the hotel.

    The Corby Kitchen is a pretty relaxed environment, inside the Marriott in Bethesda. We've had…read moredrinks here before, as well as lunch and dinner. Some of the servers are super great, and some are not so much. When a burger without certain ingredients was ordered, one waiter rudely said "then what do you want on the burger" however, the burger still had plenty of ingredients listed, that the person ordering didn't ask to be left off. It's difficult to order a plain burger with the only burger on the menu has bacon and cheese. The food is standard fare. Burgers, sandwiches, salads. The chef pays attention to allergens. I've tried the shrimp roll, the Caesar salad, and the turkey club. All of these can be made gluten free, although the menu doesn't denote it. Another in my party enjoyed the shrimp tacos and the burger. Being inside the Marriott, it is a little overpriced, but the food is good, just hit or miss with service. Great for a quick bite if you're staying in the Marriott.

The…read morefood was okay, w soft the crispy shrimp, Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, and the buffalo chicken dip. the crispy shrimp was too oily but tasted decent. The egg rolls were the best item we got, had a decent sized filling. The buffalo chicken dip wasn't great, could be better and a larger portion. The food items took a while to come as well. They have large wall sized TVs which I love to see at sports bars. We watched the basketball game and had a good time. There were very few people late afternoon and didn't seem to mind we had a baby with a stroller. The place seems good to also host events and is spacious.

Second time here and surprised I never did a review intially. Maybe because that although the wings are big, they're unflavored and unseasoned. We got a round of 24 wings with... 6 lemon pepper, 6 honey barbecue, 6 old bay, and 6 sweet thai chilli. A couple Long Island Ice Teas and some beer to top everything off. Service is on point and bathrooms are super clean. Somebody needs to care more about the food though. I shoulda got a burger instead. Decor and Ambiance is top tier- lots of flat screens for catching a game or sporting event. Skip the food unless you like BASIC. Parking in the attached parking garage.

    Well, we were back in DC visiting family for the Holiday, and before we headed back to Philly, we…read moremade, what's becoming our 'usual' destination for lunch. I ordered the Maryland-Style Crisfield Stew. Let's start with what this is - Fish Stew - commonly known as Cioppino. We were in SF last Aug - in one week, I had Cioppino at 4 different restaurants. Yes, I have an obsession with the dish. What's important here is 'Maryland-Style' - having lived in MD for several decades, I had more than my fair share of Maryland Style Crab Soup. A tomato based soup, loaded with fresh crab, and an underlying mild spice, it's very good - not the depth of the broths in SF (ex. Scoma's), but tasty. This was Clyde's - it was very tasty, served hot, which is important for fish stew, and it wasn't too spicy. The star of the dish, of course, was the sizable portion of crab, shrimp, mussels, oysters, and cod. See the attached picture-it's a large bowl filled to the brim. I let the two pieces of grilled bread soak into the stew and devoured them with the fish! I want to be sure to point something out - I asked to have additional broth, if possible, added to the stew, and they were nice enough to oblige! While those stews in SF are in a class by themselves, Clyde's is as good as any I've had on the East Coast. My partner ordered the Fried Chicken Rice Bowl. We're both lovers of fried chicken. Clyde's cuts up chicken breasts into squares, tosses them in a honey-sriracha mix and deep fries them. The chicken was delicious, combined with the rice, apples, cucumbers and scallions - it was a good bowl. Last, was the dessert - Key Lime Pie. My standard for this 'pie is very high'. I had Key Lime Pie at Joe's Stone Crabs in FL several times - that's my gold standard. This pie fell quite short - not that richness I look for that's offset by the tartness of the lime. However, we both really needed to have dessert (for reasons unknown) and we're glad we got the pie!

    First, I must say this is not the service I am used to receiving at Clyde's Tower Oaks Lodge…read more Normally, we have excellent service and delicious food. So, this experience was even more disheartening. Today, I found out that we were overcharged for two of our meals. I called and asked to speak to the manager, but he wasn't in. This is our nightmare lunch. First, we waited about 15 minutes for our drinks. When, our waitress was about to disappear again, I asked her to take our order. My granddaughter has severe food allergies and is diabetic. So, we had to order special items. Normally, Clyde's is very good about honoring special needs with food preparation. We waited 30- 45 minutes for our meal and then, we were told that they were out of my granddaughter's birria tacos. If they didn't have her food, we should have been alerted 5 minutes after we ordered, not 35 minutes later. So, my granddaughter ordered wings. We had ordered French fries as an appetizer and they never made it to the table either. So,after asking for a 3rd time they finally put our order of French fries into the kitchen. That took additional time, but finally made it to the table. They were delicious! It took another half hour for our food to come out. At that point, we had been waiting for an hour and a half for lunch. The salads and my granddaughter's wings were mediocre at best. But, I was charged an additional $13 to add chicken to a Caesar salad. But, two hours for lunch, being overcharged and extremely bad service.... This is not the Clyde's I am used to and have written previous glowing reviews. I hope the management sees this review and takes steps to correct the problems. Especially, the server who was not trained and did not do her job properly. I am so disappointed!

So many different flavors in a small bite! I sat at the bar and got the best service from the bartender! I love that this place is lowkey and in the cut. They're also open late!

    Overall, this is decent sushi made much more appealing by its extensive happy hour…read more We visited during happy hour, which featured a strong selection of seafood, cocktails, sake, and wine. The discounts were quite noticeable. The seared salmon normally costs $10 but drops to $4 during happy hour. Service was not the fastest but our server was very kind and accommodating. *Lychee Cosmo: sweet and fragrant. Although it was advertised as lychee forward, it leaned more toward a cherry blossom or floral profile and tasted somewhat artificial. *Kusshi Margarita: refreshing with a solid pour. *Seared Fatty Salmon: a nicely thick cut of salmon that was evenly seared. I did wish the mayo topping had more flavor as it felt more textural than impactful in taste. *Nigiri and Sashimi Combo: came with three pieces each of sashimi and nigiri, featuring tuna, salmon, or yellowtail. I was impressed by the thickness of the cuts. The tuna was tender and clean, the yellowtail was rich and fatty, and while the salmon was leaner, it was still fresh and not fishy. *Toro Crispy Rice: the tuna was very rich and fatty. The rice was well prepared and not overly oily, but the dish could have used something acidic or herbal, like shiso or pickled radish, to balance the richness. *Salmon Avocado Roll: the avocado complemented the lean salmon well. The roll was generously filled and the rice did not overpower the ingredients. *Spicy Tuna Roll: the tuna was quite mild, so the roll lacked strong flavor, though the fish itself was tender. Structurally, the roll was well made and evenly filled. *Salmon Sushi Bowl: came with six slices of salmon over plain rice and pickled vegetables. I wish the rice had been seasoned with vinegar. The pickles added a nice crunch and contrast. *Scallop Nigiri: not part of the happy hour menu. The scallop itself was large and soft, with more natural saltiness than sweetness. It would have benefited from a more acidic rice base to balance it out. The sushi itself is not particularly memorable, but it is solid across the board. I would not pay full price, as there is room for improvement in flavor, but the happy hour value brings this closer to a four star experience rather than a three and a half.
