Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in Brightwood

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

Yes to start off we was greeted and checked in a little before our reservations. We had a drink before our table I had the whiskey clover she had the cucumber gimlet. Both very good we then got seated our server was Erma she did an excellent job. As far as the food everything was great that we ordered has the jumbo lump crab cake and calamari for appetizers. Both very good. For entree we split the lamb chops and she had New York strip I had the 12 oz manhattan wagyu with a South African lobster tail stuffed with crab, everything taste amazing. For sides we had the whipped potatoes and asparagus would recommend both. Over 5/5 it’s worth it Erma did a great job would definitely come back.

My husband and I enjoyed our dinner experience. We went the day after Valentine’s Day. The restaurant was more crowded than I expected. The tables were too close to each other which put a damper on having any type of private conversation. It appeared tables were added in areas that would normally not be there to accommodate the number of people dining. That was the one disappointing part of our evening. The service and food was exceptional.

I am vegan and the server had no problem making sure my meal was dairy-free and meat-free. She even told me there was fish broth in the Miso Soup, which I didn’t order due to her honesty. I think the restaurant should include the fish broth on the list of ingredients on the menu. Every ingredient should be listed when it comes to meat, diary or any spice with heat (cayenne, chili, etc.). Good food, good service. I have never had a bad meal here.

This is the fifth or sixth time we've visited from Baltimore, MD and Et Voila just keeps getting better. We always order mussels, which are consistently sweet and well-sized. Love the onion soup and my husband is a huge fan of the goat cheese salad. Excellent service. The only quibble is the small tables! Merci for a lovely Valentine's Day lunch.
