This venue features local, fresh, and sustainable foods across our menus. Long ago, Clyde’s Restaurant Group chose to bypass traditional commercial produce routes and opt for locally-raised, farm-grown vegetables and fruits. Not only does this provide fresher ingredients for the guests, but it is considered part of our ongoing collaboration with the local economy to design dining experiences that support the region’s growth.
History The antique timber buildings on the Clyde’s Willow Creek Farm property were purchased by Clyde’s Restaurant Group in the 1980s. These structures were slated for demolition before they were saved by the restaurant group. Renovated and reopened, they became part of a vintage restaurant and event venue, complete with museum-quality 18th-century horse-drawn carriages.
Due to COVID, we decided to postpone our larger wedding to 2021 and to have a smaller intimate wedding on our original date with our family and closest friends. As fellow brides planning a wedding during a pandemic can attest, it's even more stressful as you want to ensure you pick a place that's safe and following protocols. We worked very closely with Tara throughout the entire planning process, and she was an absolute joy to partner with. She was steps ahead to ensure everything would work smoothly and we heard from countless guests how amazing the food was, and how safe they felt at the venue. Thank you so much Tara and team for helping us to have the most beautiful wedding. We appreciate you all so much!

Rehearsal Dinner
Clydes at Willow Creek was our top choice for a rehearsal dinner and made for a perfect evening dinner with family and friends. Tara was an amazing event planner who was flexible and accommodating when we had to postpone our wedding rehearsal due to the pandemic. She worked with us to create a perfect new plan and even the night of made sure it went off without an issue when it rained! The food was amazing and service was top notch. Our guests continued to talk about how wonderful it was the next day. I highly recommend Clydes at Willow Creek for a special dinner or wedding!

A dream venue!
We got married December 12, 2020 and thus dealt with never-ending changes to the state rules and restrictions along the way. Tara, the events coordinator, handled all of our anxiety and questions immediately, calmly, and professionally. Clyde's was exceptionally flexible with our guest list and ceremony spaces as the restrictions changed and offered a multitude of options for us to make sure we had the wedding we had been dreaming about. The venue itself is gorgeous and has such a wide range of spaces perfect for photos! The food and service was amazing and the bar packages can't be outdone by any other venue in the DMV. Their commitment to safety throughout the pandemic made us more than comfortable holding our event at the restaurant.
Capital Celtic performed live Irish music at Clyde's Willow Creek farm on St. Patrick's Day this year. Paul McGuinness and everyone on his team was incredibly friendly and professional, and the venue is absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend Clyde's Willow Creek Farm for their setting, great food and drinks, and highly friendly and professional management team.
A perfect match of clean and modern with a historic flavor that seems to have been there since the 18th century. Of course, you start out with the great food that is the hallmark of Clyde's, and then get plenty more besides. Lots of privacy for your event, and a wonderful ambiance.
