    Very busy night for FF! We went there tonight on Christmas, which also happens to be my birthday. There was a mix up with the prime rib and they ended up being out of it but didn’t find out until my family had their food. I work in a restaurant so I know these things happen sometimes. They were extremely accommodating. The manager, Chris, and our server (her name just slipped from my mind!) went above and beyond! They made sure that we left feeling happy and that’s all we could really ask for! The food was delicious as always! P.s- Please add a nonalcoholic beer option to your menu! 😁

    My husband and I decided to grab an early lunch while we were picking up a Christmas dinner order in the area. I had no idea that there was a sister restaurant to Clyde’s. I have been to the location in DC, and I really enjoyed it there. So, I figured I would have the same experience, and I was right. The food is delicious, it was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and our server was knowledgeable and friendly. We didn’t even need to ask for refills; a replacement drink was on the table before we could even think to ask. Now, that is some stellar service! We will return with friends, and I have already recommended to a friend who is also a fan of Clydes in DC. Happy holidays!

    Met a friend at NYAJoe for lunch. Zach, our waiter, was personable and enjoyable to chat with. He was there when we needed something and gone when we didn't which was great. My guest got a bloody mary and a sandwich - she enjoyed both. I got a delicious Proseco, one of the best I've ever had and I order them often, and a flatbread with bacon and blue cheese. Flatbread was delicious but so big I couldnt finish it. The big surprise was the $64 check which came to $76 w/ tip. So almost $100 for lunch for two w/ one drink each and $18 each for the food we ate. Next time we'll drink before we go! Seriously, why is it IMPOSSIBLE to find a full menu online. I like to try to decide what I will order ahead of time so time spent w/ a friend is not taken up w/ looking at the menu. The groupings were odd online - Group Meals, Family Meals, but nothing for just 2 people coming for lunch. Also no lisiting of drinks and prices. While I commend the noise level as being lower than almost any restaurant I have gone to in years, it was a bit aggravating that the TV that was pointed to where I was sitting had a soccer game on. Would much rather have had nothing on or news and leave the soccer game for the guys at the bar to watch. Last, but certainly not least, the ladies bathroom needs a refresh. The paint on the inside of the doors has peeled. Wouldnt be much of a dollar investment to sand the doors a bit and put a new coat of paint on.
