   Excellent. Only complaint is the parsimonious size of wine serving at all Clyde's group restaurants. Tower Oaks had clean seats/floors unlike Chevy Chase.

   Our dinner here was amazing. Dawn and Jacob are the best servers. Dawn gave us her recommendations for our meal and she was spot on! We started with the market salad. I understand that the croutons are made in house! Soooo good! The crab and artichoke dip was so tasty. For our meals my husband had the pork chop which he said was very tender and cooked and flavored perfectly. I had the steak frites. The house steak sauce is made from them, which I couldn’t get enough of! The meat was yummy and the fries were crispy and delicious! My compliments to the chef! We also shared the shrimp linguine. The shrimp was so fresh and melted in our mouths. The butter sauce was so delightful. Thank you so much Dawn for your professionalism, charm, and recommendations. And thanks to Jacob. He also made sure everything was perfect. On our way out, we walked by the bar which was flowing and very vibrant. A nice night out and we will definitely be back. Dawn you rock!

   This was my second time at Tower Lodge in one week. I came earlier on Saturday with my sister and ordered the steak salad and glass of Grenache/Syrah red wine. The wine was wonderful but the pours were small compared to what we are used to and enjoy so it would be nice to have an option for a couple of ounces more at a higher cost. My steak salad was terribly bland. The steak was unseasoned and not charred outside which I really like. The rest of the steak salad was just as unmemorable- pickled onions and odd little heads of iceberg type lettuce. I called manager Max and gave him my feedback on our meal and he gave me a $25 gift card and asked that I try them again. That was very thoughtful and appreciated so kudos to Max for his kind response. I came back for lunch on Monday, I had just an hour, and I ordered the single crab cake with mashed potatoes and broccolini because reviews said their crab cakes were a favorite dish. I really appreciated being able to substitute the fries and coleslaw with mashed potatoes and broccolini. However, I was really surprised at how small the crabcake was! I am a petite person and even for me it was a too small portion for lunch which tends to be my biggest meal in the day. The server offered to bring me another crabcake, which I agreed to, but didn’t realize how much more the double crabcake was, $44.00, vs price of single $26.99. I wish the server had gone over the additional cost when she offered to bring another crabcake. Also, by the time it arrived, I had finished the broccolini and first crab cake. Luckily I still had some tartar sauce and mashed potatoes remaining to accompany the second. The Chardonnay I ordered was very good. Overall, lots of other places with better food and better prices. I would come here for the novelty of the lodge atmosphere and drinks!

   Clyde's at Tower Oak provides a cozy lodge-inspired atmosphere for dining by offering a numer of selections of well prepared dishes, along with helpful servers and staff. My family has enjoy a number of gatherings here in order to celebrate birthdays, Mother's Day, and graduations.

    The welcome guy was vulgar. We waited for 1 hour for the food to be served, but the ambiance was very cozy. The waiter was okay but he needed to be smiley and more friendly.
