    Wow! I've been to many steakhouses over the years, multiple times; Ruth's Chris, Morton's, Smith & Wollensky's, Shula's, The Palm, Arthur's (if you didn't spend time in Jersey, you won't know), McCormick and Schmick's, Annie's Paramount (a special DC place), Fleming's, The Capital Grille, Voltaglio Brother's, Sam & Harry's, Delmonico's, etc. This was, by far, the best steakhouse I've ever been to. My wife started with the calamari and I had the oysters with caviar. Then, she had the salmon and I had the bourbon rib eye. I also ordered truffle fries and creamed spinach. Then, for desert, a peanut butter and chocolate plate of decadence (and cream brulé for my birthday) along with some champagne. Oh, and I had a manhattan that was easily the best I've ever had. Francesco provided us the most incredible service I've ever experienced eating out anywhere. We will not hesitate to go back there, though my wife requested we wait six months so as not to overdo it (though, I'm thinking, every four months?). There's only about 12 of them in the entire country. I highly recommend going there if there's one near you.

    I love the comfortable, cozy ambience at Clyde’s Willow Creek. So many places around this area are loud and crowded, but the spacing and furnishings in all the different rooms at Clyde’s make it a treat to relax and enjoy great food and service while spending quality time with friends and family.
