   Tower Oaks is our favorite Clyde's location. I have loved Clyde's for over 30 years.

   I had always liked the soft shell crab at Clyde. Clyde advertised availability of soft shell crab in Clyde restaurants, but Tower Oak Lodge was not listed. I had to call Tower Oak Lodge to confirm it was available there the soft shell crab at Clyde was always very meaty, but not this time. They are like the soft shell crab appetizer available in Japanese restaurants year round. Hope they will bring back the meaty ones.

   Always a pleasant experience dining at Tower Oaks. Excellent service, food, and atmosphere. I miss the Cod dish—its my favorite.

   My family goes to Tower Oaks regularly. The food is hit or miss, but the service is almost always very good. The only issue we have with the ambiance is the temperature, as we have seniors in our party who cannot tolerate the cold. Mother's Day was lovely, though my mom ordered the trout, and it was so over-fried that there was hardly any fish -- it wasn't good, but she never sends things back. I wish the staff would take a closer look at what they are serving, though it was pretty busy for the holiday, so I'll give a pass.

   The spring menu, with its addition of the Halibut/Asparagus/Yukon Gold potatoes entre, is excellent. Of course, old stand-bys such as the Clyde's Burger are great, too. You'd never go wrong with the Oysters Happy Hour, either. Service is attentive, there is a very good flow to the arrival of dishes. Ask for Clifton if dining in the Bar booths area, and Cody if you are seated in the large lodge room (with the taxidermy and canoe).

    Our lunch was superb. Excellent food, service, ambiance … everything … was top notch. A little noisy but we were there at the top of the business lunch hour so that noise level was to be expected. My husband and I met with an old g/f and her husband and we had just the very best meal for lunch (and Bloody Mary!)! Everything was great!
