    From start to finish, the Clyde's experience is so refreshing and enjoyable. I would highly recommend making a reservation. We arrived 15 minutes early, but still shown immediately to a table. The ambiance at Clyde's is charming and rustic, with plenty of space to accommodate large groups. I never had to wait for a drink and the wait staff is on top of everything. I highly recommend the fillet-mignon. It is always cooked perfectly. The Whipped Yukon gold potatoes and triple Mac n cheese are probably ly our favorite sides. The portions are perfect for sharing as well. As a final thought, I would heartily advise tasting the crab and artichoke dip. All in all, a perfect place for a nice date night, or bringing a group of friends and family. Nice and formal without being austentacious.

    We had an amazing experience at Ivy by the Lake! We stopped by on Valentine’s Day after a concert and were warmly greeted and seated right away. To start, we ordered the hummus with lamb, which was absolutely delicious—rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. For hookah, we went with the waitress’s recommendation, Poison Ivy, and it did not disappoint! Smooth, well-balanced, and truly elite. The DJ was phenomenal, playing a mix of music that kept the entire place vibing. I found myself dancing in my seat all night! The atmosphere, service, and overall experience were top-tier. I’ll definitely be back for more great food, hookah, and vibes!
