Clyde's Restaurant - Georgetown

With 14 restaurants throughout the Washington DC area, each having their own unique style, but keeping the same high standards for cleanliness, fresh produce and the finest meats, Clyde’s is a favorite among the natives and a must-stop for visitors. 

If you are in DC for a tour of our Nation’s capital, be sure to click to Clyde’s website prior to your stay.  A complete history of the restaurant and the founders, detailed information on each of the locations, including directions, hours of operation, methods of payment accepted, photos, customer reviews, special events, recipes and a downloadable menu with pricing! 

Before I tell you how wonderful the service and my meal was, let me just express my gratitude for the reservations I was able to make, via the Clyde’s Restaurant website. I made the reservations 3 days in advance of my trip and instantly received a confirmation email with the address and phone number, should I choose to change anything, such as the confirmed time or the number of people in attendance. On the day of my visit, I received a phone call to remind and confirm once again, which came at a perfect time… I was able to let them know I was running late due to the traffic during rush hour on the B-W Parkway (Baltimore Washington Parkway.)  And, since it was my first visit to Georgetown in DC, I was able to pull up the email from my iPhone and grab directions with ease. 

Fast, friendly and knowledgeable service set the stage for a wonderful dinner at the Clyde’s Georgetown location. Seating is somewhat tight but if you are visiting from a big city, such as NY, you are more than accustomed to making new dinner friends with the up close & personal tables.  Our dinner neighbors were very friendly… they even offered to take our picture. 

Now on to the good stuff… DINNER! We started with the fried green tomatoes, which have a crispy cornmeal crust and pancetta, sitting on a bed of shredded lettuce and buttermilk bacon dressing. Our main courses were the penne with Italian sausage and rapini, which included garlic and parmesan cheese with marinara sauce; and my partner enjoyed the BBQ pork tenderloin with asparagus and collard greens. An added bonus was the semi-sparkling glass of moscato, which in my neck of the woods is hard to find on a restaurant menu. 

Dinner was devine, the service was superb, the drinks were delightful and the company was captivating!
