Clyde's - open!



Same location! Private dining! Menus! Recipes! A pantry!

They say, simply:

Clyde’s of Columbia was our second property in the DC area and the first to shuttle our neighborhood concept outside of Washington, D.C. Set against a lakeside community, our expansion to Columbia was a true and successful test of the Clyde’s reputation.

What I love about perusing their website is one of the things I like so much about Chef Jenna at Amore: they are generous with their knowledge. They have a recipe page devoted to teaching fans how to make their signature dishes - I want to make a crab tower! And for a property so close to the D.C. area, I'm surprised to see how affordable their menu is. 

And that seafood? OMG, lobster, scallops, shrimp or crab? Delicious. 

Adapting with the times we are living in, of course the menu is available to go, and this includes a market pantry to get your recipe provisions. 

Since the pantry includes Virginia strawberries, and we are appropriately in the month of May, I think I know what recipe to feature.

May Punch
  • 6 oz. May wine, chilled
  • 6 oz., brut champagne
  • 1 brandied strawberry (edit: you soak a strawberry in brandy for a half hour)
Pour wine and champagne into big chilled wine glass. Garnish with strawberry.
