    ASK for Edwin R. He is the talent on the floor and a great ambassador for the Cordelia’s as Clyde’s group. His genuine enthusiasm made our dining experience exceptional. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offered fantastic pairing suggestions, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time. The more I tried, the more we wanted to order. The tribute to Seafood and charcoal is illustrated on every single dish delivered to your table.Lots of restaurants led by big-time chefs don’t run so easily right out of the gate. Clearly, Cordelia’s fish bar, launched in November, wasn’t Clyde’s first rodeo. The same thought that goes into the food seeps into the beverage program. After one meal, I just want to become a regular.

    We are frequent visitors but this visit stood out! Rice’s service was top tier. He was attentive and very helpful. Ngong put the icing on the cake by also making sure we were pleased with our food. It was a nice complement to have management equally concerned with our satisfaction and experience.

    My husband and I started with one of the specialty cocktails and ordered a salad each. The iceberg wedge salad was enormous and could’ve been a meal in itself. My husband had the crab cake appetizer as his entrée, and I got a side dish of lobster mac & cheese, which was to die for! Even sharing that with my husband we packed some up to bring home. On another night, we might have tried one of the entrées, but we were not in the mood for a large meal, and the salads and appetizers were more than satisfying. The decor was classy and the noise level was muted even as the crowd picked up following the Commanders game. Rafael was our waiter and service was attentive and friendly but not intrusive.
