Despite the Tday crowd, the wait was short and the food was great. We had the Thanksgiving menu and it was both delicious and filling. Enough for takeaway I’m eagerly anticipating. Traditional ingredients with a twist, juicy turkey, slightly sweet but traditionally flavored stuffing, cream soup. Only disappointment were the glazed carrots and green beans, either overcooked or still crunchy. By the way, the cranberry sangria was wonderful! Tart and smooth.

Despite the restaurant being packed with people and having worked all day and all night, the chefs and servers and hosts at Clydes delivered exceptional food, environment, and service on Thanksgiving night. We were blown away. One of the best Thanksgiving dinners ever.

We enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving in your joyous and beautiful restaurant. We ordered the turkey dinner, which was marvelous. Everything was perfectly cooked. The only improvement would be to have more people to bus tables as our plates sat on the table after we are finished for a good 25 minutes. I know that this is probably isolated to the busy holiday. That would be the only thing that I would improve great meal thank you.
