The filet Oscar started with a U.S. prime beefsteak that was cooked exactly to order on the restaurant's specially built broiler. It arrived sizzling in butter and sauced with a silky hollandaise that contained pieces of crab meat. My sweet, delicately flavored lobster tail was another taste sensation, even without the drawn butter. It weighed in at a generous nine ounces. Hearty eaters who don't mind splurging can opt for the restaurant's 24-ounce tail.
Whole lobsters are also available, as is the perennially popular surf and turf.
Serious carnivores will find New York strip, filet mignon, prime rib, sirloin for two, porterhouse - even chopped sirloin. Several fish and chicken round out the bill of fare in addition to two pastas. At Cloyde's there are no vertical presentations of fusion foods with international undertones. But we've always found the wholesome, traditional cuisine above reproach and the service superb. This is the spot.
