    The Clarendon/the Hyde, was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. The food was out of this world, menu is small but they have beyond mastered the items. Drinks were fantastic, Koby was our server/bartender he was attentive, fun and always happy to chat with us and the drinks were outstanding. We will definitely be back!

    There was a very long wait for our food, and then the rice in 2/4 dishes was still kinda crunchy.

    A favourite place of ours. This time we were a group of 6 and had a great time. My wife and I shared a Ceasar salad (very good) and the Margarita pizza (kind of ordinary)
