Clyde’s is our go to place in northern Virginia for good food and outstanding cocktails! The service is always top notch and the bartenders are fabulous. Drinks are a bit pricey but honestly they’re worth it! The bartenders here are experienced and take pride in their craft. On this visit we had the Faroe Island Salmon Salad. It is outstanding! Perfect blend of greens and toppings that were light and filling at the same time. We also added a side of onion rings, crispy and tasty! For cocktails we had a maple old fashioned and a dirty martini, perfection! Our bartender Sam makes the absolute best drinks but you’re in good hands no matter who is creating your cocktails. The atmosphere is warm, relaxing and always clean.

Great atmosphere. My salmon tasted good but my husband’s fillet was a little too charred and dry. The service was very bad though. Our server hasn’t approached our table after taking the food order - no drink refills, no asking how the food tasted, etc. I don’t even remember seeing him around, so maybe they assign tables in different areas. We even had to ask another server for the bill after waiting 15-20min after we were done eating. We initially planned on getting dessert but decided that we’d rather get it somewhere else.
We were looking for something close and local when we found this place. It was definitely different than we expected but had a quaint home vibe that felt nice. I did wonder if there was a dress code after seeing others so I’d suggest maybe wearing your Sunday best at least. ;) The food though is what matters most - delicious. I ordered the Chicken Casarecce Pasta which was light and refreshing (without capers per request). My sister ordered the Trout Parmesan which was the best of the dishes - the fish was cooked to perfection and it was the largest fillet I’d seen in my life. My mother ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger and she raved about it too! Their greens salad has a unique but great dressing that was worth a try. Also… the Brussels sprouts were top tier! We randomly shared a side on a whim and it was the best choice. I highly recommend them! The server and the server in training were very sweet and had appropriate timing. All in all, we were all impressed!
The food was impeccable and so was our server. He recommended the deviled eggs as an appetizer (new appetizer as of 3/21/25) and it was a hit. We got a 2nd appetizer which was the crab and artichoke dip. It came hot and tasted great. It could’ve use a little seasoning for my taste but was still very delicious. He also recommended the pork chop which was extremely thick but very well cooked and not dry at all. I got the mushrooms as a side and the chimichurri on the side. The mushrooms were delicious. They were cooked with a thick gravy and topped with crunchy bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. We also got the 16oz ribeye which was flavorful and cooked perfectly.
Excellent service and ambiance; however, the food doesn't measure up to the description on the menu. They were overcooked, heavy on salt and the flavor lacked luster. I had a turkey sandwich, it looked just thrown together and it was dry and tasted old. Mac and cheese, where's the cheese? The dessert and bar drinks were good though.
