Best Lunch Restaurants in Gaithersburg

Oh my! I’ve been going to Clyde’s restaurants for decades. They’ve been special in their own ways: very good, mid-priced food, nice decors, and excellent service. This was my first time at Tower Oaks and, as soon as I walked in, I wanted to spend the week! Though that’s not possible, I do think their setting and ‘lodge’ decor are like the most exquisite National Park or luxury lodge I’ve been in. In the same Clyde’s fashion, no detail is spared and the tables are spacious and not at all crowded! Dawn was our server and she was top-notch; including when we wanted mussels but couldn’t eat the spicy preparation on the menu, she volunteered to speak with the kitchen about using the lemon butter on the cod and throwing in some garlic. It was divine! And we complemented it by a market salad with greens, apples, and pears and a white Balsamic dressing. We were seated in a large booth overlooking the forest. As we walked out, I saw a formal dining room with large round tables. I’ll be sure to bring our family group of 6-8 to enjoy what a round table offers. Could not have been happier! Since covid, we’re still not eating out a lot; this was a rare and perfect treat! Kudos!

We had a wonderful experience last night. Our Server, Canaan, was terrific. He was always available but not intrusive. Canaan has a great personality and even enjoyed our kidding with him. All our food from salad through dessert was great!!!!!

Food was great. Waitress knowledgeable and professional!! We had a great time!

Michael was our waiter and was excellent. We had a lovely meal and it was nice and quiet sitting in the sunshine by a window, food was delicious. Thank you!
