Clyde's of Columbia

This place really has a great location and nice atmosphere. The outdoor seating is large and right next to water. The menu has a great variety of food, pretty much can satisfy your craving. Prices are a little high but the quality is very good. Salads were fresh and so good, esp the steak salad. The wings were small but tasty. The BLT was excellent and the chicken sandwich was also very good. The inside of the restaurant reminds me of the old dc steakhouses, which is fun and also dark. The waiter was friendly. I wished they would have timed the space between the appetizers and food, they came on top of each other which is not how it should be. The outdoor seating was nice cause folks could bring dogs and there was live music. It's a nice place to go and enjoy outside, good music and good food. I was rather impressed. I hadn't been in a while and it's not close to where I live , but worth it . Mixed drinks were good and deserts tasty..they offer items from sweet to savory.

I think I caught this restaurant on a bad night. After spending $80, this experience did not sit right with me at all. I went to eat Friday night around 10. We were able to get seated quickly. Before we got seated, we went to the restrooms which were kind of tricky to find but they were clean. After sitting, we waited at least five minutes for our server. During that time, I switched my glass with a nearby table's as my glass was dirty. My silverware was not any better. It seemed we weren't a planned seating as our server rushed by us with full hands, telling us he would be right with us. Nate wasn't horrible but he was definitely "weeded" with his section which seemed ridiculously large. He had to have had at least five tables. I could literally see the stress on his face. He greeted us and got us some water. He took our drink order, asked me for my ID when ordering the Pear Sangria and said it would be right out. I received my drink, which was the best thing I had all night, but my friend never received his Sprite. He didn't get his Sprite even after we received our appetizer so I flagged down another server. The $3.59 ($3.69?) Sprite itself was somewhat flat but my friend said it was fine. The crab and artichoke dip was alright, it was room temperature though. I asked our server for more bread but we never received it. The dip got cold pretty quickly so we stopped eating it. Our server checked on us after we were already finished. An out-of-place moment was when a busser just randomly sat diagonally from us at an empty table around three other tables. Our appetizer and app plates weren't cleared until the food runner brought our entrees. My food was piping hot which was great. My friend's food was room temperature but the plate itself was hot so not so great. The entrees were alright, nothing amazing but maybe we just chose wrong. Nate checked on us after my friend was done with his food. He had been busy running back and forth between his tables. My friend did not really like his food and Nate offered to replace it with something else but my friend declined. We then asked for the check after he cleared the table. It took him 10-15 minutes to get our check so yikes. We watched him drop off drinks to a new table and walk the other way. Consolidation saves lives. I honestly think his section was too large for him to authentically dedicate his time evenly amongst his guests which sucks for him and the restaurant because I don't plan to ever come back. As we were leaving, he thanked us. I went to the host stand to ask about the manager on duty but the host was sitting at a table on her phone. Another host came along and I spoke to her. Shortly after, she joined the other girl and she was also on her phone. Needless to say, it was a bad experience so I hope my review can be used as a learning opportunity. The sangria was yummy. Happy Holidays.

Decent place for dinner. Make sure you sit outside for a nice view. Entree’s are relatively closer to high range also the portions are slightly smaller. But food tastes good. I had Atlantic Salmon which tasted good but Eggplant parmesan was really good there.

Amazing food every time, fantastic atmosphere and a wonderful place to dine. So glad I could stop here on our way home(in another state). Highly recommended! Pictures of my delicious salad and the view from the restaurant.

Great view of the lake in Columbia from this restaurant. It seemed like an older clientele frequents this place. They had a good selection of craft beers. We only had an appetizer and sat in the bar area. The crab and appetizer appetizer was a disappointment but the beer was good.

Can't go wrong with steak. Came out perfect. Service was alittle spotty but delicious overall. Sad to see their sister restaurant Tomato Palace go though...😫😭😭

My food was excellent. The server was friendly, and made good suggestions. The sides were interchangeable, so I was able to customize my meal to my personal taste.

Is a very nice place, I loved the style of the place. The service was awesome. I loved the shrimp with Siracha sauce and the Mediterranean dip trio. I tried the fig and arugula salad but the vinaigrette could be better.
