    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!

    Yet another lovely evening celebrating the holidays at chez Francois! A Christmas tradition in our family; we look forward to it every year and are never disappointed. Indulge in the Christmas specials (the Wellington is to die for), and enjoy the festive and perfect service and atmosphere. 10 out of 10!

    This is honestly the best Italian food around and the price was phenomenal. It’s a long reservation list and almost impossible to get a reservation on the weekend but it’s 100% worth it. Food was amazing, pricing was great, service was great, everything was great. Will be coming back

    My experience was great. The serves were kind. The jerk chicken lollipops and Caesar Salad were my favorite. The croutons in the salad melted in my mouth.I enjoyed the Snow Crab Asian Garlic noodles. I wish it had more crab meat and that was it a bit more spicier. I had a mango mocktail , it was sooo good! I wanted to take it home.
