Five ladies having a reunion? What could be better than Clyde's! Our choices for lunch were numerous (we ended up with the delicious burgers and Reubens). The libations were abundant (I won't disclose what and how many). And the freedom to talk, laugh, and enjoy ourselves with a marvelous waitstaff that was there when we wanted them but not when we didn't. We weren't rushed, and it was a glorious time. Thank you, Clyde's, for providing a great venue for our reunion.

This is a great restaurant. I love the atmosphere. The wait staff is fantastic. I will say the Tower Oaks location is a cut of above Chevy Chase when it comes to the quality of the food offered. I ordered the crabcake sandwich today and was somewhat disappointed and the Faroe Island, salmon salad is so much better at Tower Oaks. The food today just didn’t meet Clyde’s usual standards. One of our party did say the burger was good.
