This was Valentine’s Day and the service was excellent! They were really busy, kitchen a bit backed up, however the restaurant was quaint and quiet with everyone from families to date nights. My son enjoyed the small train that travels through the restaurant. The food was delicious and arrived hot. Our server was attentive. Clyde’s rarely disappoints. It’s good to know we can depend on them for a superb experience no matter the holiday!

Service was not great. The gentleman that helped was either was too rushed (which I don’t think so) or really lacks customer service and basic serving training or skills. 2 examples out of a few more: I had to ask for my wine as he never came to ask if I wanted another glass, moreover we had not finished our desert, check was right there at our table for us to pay.

Perfect restaurant for my toddler. Lots of space for him to stretch his legs if needed and lots of entertainment: model trains running, ships, old car models, etc. Food is great, reliable, and service is consistent. Oysters are the best!

4 out of 5 meals came out cold. And the fifth was a salad. Sunday night must not be staffed fully.
