    Fantastic meal. We’ve done Thanksgiving dinner here a couple of times. Plenty of food and all the fixings with traditional turkey or ham. Emily, our server was amazing. Always book ahead because they get busy. Love the Georgetown location. You can always also order off the regular menu. Great clam chowder and crab cakes. We always eat at Clyde’s when visiting our daughter in DC.

    Wow, as advertised, great host, server, manager!!!! The food we ordered was all superb!!! Crab cake to start, wife ordered the meatloaf, I had the short rib stroganoff. We had reservations and thankful we thought ahead, the 1330 lunch rush was visible on the weekend. I ordered a bloody mary, only portion of the meal which I thought lacked attention. Manager passed by the table and was very nice!!! Thank you for the Carrot cake, it was phenomenal. Highly would recommend and glad we came!!!

    What a great place to dine! I have been hearing about Chef Tobias and the Honcho House for a long time. Living in Bmore, I don't make many treks to DC to dine, but I was definitely up for the experience. Drinks were great. My friend loved the Dragonfruit Margarita. We both ordered the Chesapeake and while I could see my reflection in my bowl, my girl opted to take hers home. If this was brunch, I'm definitely returning for dinner. #HappyDining #HappyEats
