Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Ashton

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!

Nice Fixed Prix lunch menu and such a diverse menu overall! Always an excellent dining experience.

Refreshingly simple yet effective. Could use a little less pepper but I love the menu, great value.

Great food and gracious service at the food market! Generous portions are a bonus. Loved the crab soup with a little crab cake and the beet salad was fantastic.

Great to see this place so busy! My wife and I were pleased with all aspects of our dining experience. Happy hour menu was solid (that smoked old fashioned is fantastic!). Entrees were delicious. Service was slightly slower than expected, but that was probably due to how full the restaurant was. Server was helpful and responsive.
