Clyde's Prime Rib Restaurant & Bar

I can't say enough positive things about this place. I grew up in Portland, Oregon, and had never visited this restaurant until now. Don't judge a book by its cover because it's unassuming from its exterior, and then you enter into a beautiful old-school steak house dining room. We had the most friendly, attentive waitress, and she was a saint to endure our large group. The food was amazing. I had a shrimp salad, prime rib dinner, a cocktail, and dessert for just under $65. You can beat that price for the quality and excellent dining experience.

Thursday night. We received Great service in the lounge. The Old Fashioned drink i ordered during happy hour had small cubed ice, and shredded maraschino cherry? Very loud in the lounge. The dry aged prime rib i ordered, even though it was medium rare, it was tough, but there was a lot of it. I'd try it again just to compare.

The atmosphere is low lit with a lounge type vibe. The live music is ALWAYS excellent, from blues to soul to 90'S and today. The staff is usually very helpful and kind! It's a very busy place on a Friday or Saturday night, so u need a little patience, but overall, the wait time is not bad for service. Get there early for dinner to get a seat by the music. The other side is the Restaurant section and is elegant dining with a reasonable to moderate price tag. Ps my favorite is the prime rib french dip!! A great steakhouse for the heart of Portland and a guaranteed good time! There are always on lookers who stand by the dance floor, but no worries! People are polite, and if u don't wish to dance with them, they let you be! Parking is a bit limited to their parking lot, which is the only challenge, so being your good parking Karma!! No dress code but most wear casual to semi formal.

Just moved here and past this place several times, my daughter was coming to town and we both love Prime Rib. Walking in was immediately inviting, warm comfortable lighting and atmosphere, the fireplace is jaw dropping with wonderful chairs to sit in while waiting. The bar was a blast from the past, had that upscale Vegas ambience and was packed with cheerful patrons. Dinner could be had in bar or dining room so we walked around but my daughter chose the dining room as only two of us and we didn't want to take up a huge booth. Once again the atmosphere was very enjoyable, Tyler was very knowledgeable and a fun chat. We had the mushrooms to start, shared a bowl of clam chowder which was loaded with clams and delicious. Our prime rib came out rare as requested, garlic mashed potatoes and veggies. Food was delicious, Tyler made sure we had everything we needed and was very attentive checking back on us throughout our entire visit. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

Heard that Clyde’s had been purchased sometime in recent months (apparently I was misinformed), so decided to try it. It was quite better than expected. I had the Louie salad to start that was very good. I also enjoyed the cranberry mule cocktail I had. The main event prime rib was good, along with the shrimp. Baked potato was a bit disappointing because it was small and wasn’t really loaded as promised, very little toppings. One member in our party had the chicken sandwich they really liked. Our server was excellent and very attentive, but the host at the front desk was a bit surly upon entry and leaving. Over all was a good dinner and I would go again when needing that old steakhouse fix!

The food and cocktails are great!! Most of the dishes contain dairy, without many non-dairy options to substitute, which is the only reason I gave them a four for the food. The prime rib and the fries are both fantastic, and the French dip is quite good. Impossibly, the prime rib is even better cold the next day. Wait staff is attentive and responsive. It's elegant, but plenty of folks dressed casually. It's an open dining area with a lot of comfy booths. Sometimes it can be very loud.
