Dinner at Tower Oaks Lodge
Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011 | 65 Comments 
FOLLOW UP ENTRY! 
hah! 
Some snaps from Monday night’s dinner. It’s funny the snow didn’t start until the moment we finished at the Restaurant and got in the car! 
We were going to go out to a few more places but instead went home. Turns out the storm wasn’t much. 
Some ice. Nothing bad enough to keep me from work 
This is an establishment of Clyde’s (Tower Oaks Lodge) located in Rockville. It specializes in more “home cooked” 
inspired dishes. Here’s the info because last time I blogged about it a lot of people asked where it was. 
It’s situated in the middle of a corporate park area so it’s not so obviously a Clyde’s xD
It’s hard to see, because the lighting is very low, but they’re decorated for Valentine’s!!
This was my appetizer as quoted from the menu:
Chef Clark’s Butcher Plate
duck duck…goose!
Duck prosciutto, duck rillette, foie gras torchon, flatbread, pickled turnips, dried cranberries and house mustard.It was PHENOMENAL!
I love duck, so if you love duck and are there try this!
The dish above was Mike’s appetizer. It’s basically smothered chicken livers, he gets it every time. I’ve tried it, I don’t like chicken livers but the cajun rice with gravy is authentically fantastic.
Above, Mike’s blackened chicken fettuccine dinner followed by my beef stew dinner. It was so wonderfully rich in flavor!
They change their menu with the seasons and what’s available locally so they’re ALWAYS something new to try.
Blazer, Skirt, Heels: H&M

Rustic romantic place

i like this restaurant! i often imagine ones like it when i read those old english novels about gentry getting drunk in hotel clubs ha ha ha
your food looks nommyy~
There’s fox hunting and polo gear all over the dark hardwood setting, this would definitely be the epitome of what you described!
that pasta looks so good
He said it was, a lot of people were ordering it and raving~
Yum I wish they serve that appetizer somewhere near me. I would eat it all the time.
Are all of the pictures in this post taken by your iphone? The food pictures look really nice.
They were, yup! Ah thanks, I left the food pics alone (didn’t run them through toy camera app or anything)
The outfit seems perfect for the setting~ Very romantic yet stylish~~
Why thank you
You look so gorgeous~! ♥ That skirt with those tights is just badical.
I love how you captured the atmosphere of that restaurant~ it looks like such a great place to relax & the food looks amazing ♥
It really is a relaxing sort of place. The server is great and there’s rarely kids
You can actually hear each other talking haahaa~
Looks so so yummy!! :9
This place never disappoints!
All of the food looks delicious. Your stew especially looks to die~ for!
It definitely felt like it! I was starved

&& wow the food looks delicious♥♥
Awe thank you so much sweetie
D
the food looks so good!
and i love your blazer!!! 
)) did you curl the bottom if your hair?
Yea I wear my hair like this a lot lately, I curl it tighter under in different layers with my flat iron and hairspray the crap out of it
Nice POOF
ahhh your pictures are so cute! I love the first collage-like one where there are pictures of you in motion
hahaha everyone seems so good at taking fullbody shots with mirrors but I just cant seem to do it properly! (I just get very blurry pictures 
D) Must practice more if I ever want to be able to post understandable OOTD posts hahaha
Ah my mirror pics can be blurry too because I get such bad lighting! It’s difficult for sure sometimes t_t I sometimes have to ramp up my iso setting to 1600 to get rid of the blur but then it’s all full of “noise” and speckled, blah.
omg duck, i so love duck!!!! i havent tried other duck dishes except the typical roast duck in chinese restaurants, but these sound delicious.. i have to try!!! and *drool* at the cajun rice with gravy..
love your outfit, you look so sweet and sophisticated! i love the touch with the striped tights
Aw thank you!
Yes! I haven’t gotten to try too much duck outside of roasted so I try to whenever possible. So far it never disappoints~~!
Your outfit is lovely and I love the way you styled your hair
The food looks very tasty ^^
Thank you so much~~

Whoa the mega bob!! Hsaahaa thanks! I’ll keep it as long as I’m not bored with it
Nice!!
I like the ‘collage’ outfit shots you’ve been posting lately, too.
Thanks! It’s an app that quickly takes 4 snaps in a row and pastes them like this automatically
The beef stew looks delicious
The restaurant seem very nice, the atmosphere looks really romantic and… oh man, the stew is too irresistable ;______;
It really is so good. Sadly they change their menu depending on the season so I probably won’t get to order this next time!
I’d probably say those pics are making me hungry but I just ate. (lol) the butcher plate looks really interesting~ Never tried duck before..hmm
Lovely little outfit snaps. Your hair looks so cute!
Duck is definitely a different tasting foul
i keep forgetting that valentines day is coming up! omg what to do oAo;;;
those tights are amazing, too. i love the whole outfit! but i want a pair of tights like that so badly…
Does Korea celebrate it at all? I was surprised to learn how many foreign countries picked up V-day (I’m a vday lover, though I keep it low key.) You guys try to do stuff for vday!
SERIOUSLY took me AGES to find tights like these! I could have kicked myself for not buying a pair when I saw them 2 years ago!
I just went to a Forever 21 store ….hmmmm about two weeks ago. It was actually split into two stores on two stories. The cosmetics/jewelry was on floor two, and the clothing on floor 1…and they didn’t connect. Weird! But I absolutely loved them! And is that beef stew…with mashed potatoes?! =O!
I’ve been into a F21 like that! It was divided in the middle and clothing on one side, accessories on the other. It’s easier to find accessories that way but looked less pretty
Yes! There’s a plop of whipped potatoes in the middle!
Awww! I love it when there’s Valentine’s decorations around, especially at a nice restaurant! The food looks delicious, and you look gorgeous. ♥
I love Valentine’s Decoration! Yay another person who does too! Sometimes I feel along in my love for v-day
I like the stuff you got. The rice in Mike’s dish looks so good but I don’t like chicken liver either. My bf loves it. So gross haha.
Ack, I’ve tried chicken liver before, it’s that horrible horrible texture that just grosses me out!
Looks de-lish! Love your top. =D
Thanks
Fantastic outfit and LOVELY MENU!!! DO WANT EAT!!
Thank you thank you~~ This place has never turned us wrong! I try to get something different every time and it’s always good.
*drool* I love everything duck & liver. I can’t believe Valentine is coming soon!
YAAAY another non-traditional meat eater
Insane is what that food all is!
I’m going to explode with yummy just looking at the screen!
Valentine’s Day is on it’s way!
SOD.
I haven’t got my boyfriend anything YET.
SOD SOD SOD.
We’ve stopped doing exchanging ‘actual’ gifts for vday. Well, that is, I get the traditional gifts of flowers, chocolates, & balloons now and sometimes I get him a candy he likes but he hates chocolate so it’s his fault he gets so little LOL
LOVE LOVE LOVE.
I’m so jealous at how beautiful you look. >:3 hahahah. xD
And all the pictures came out looking great! Are these all pictures taken from your iphone? Wow. all these foods are making me hungry.
Yeah they’re all iPhone taken! I’m glad they’re still good enough to post compared to me old Blackberry’s photos
all that food looks amazing! especially the duck plate hahahaha and I love your vintage lacey top! lovely!
Thank you thank you
YUMMM~ The ambience looks so romantic and homely.
I love duck and hates livers too. But the bf looks liver. I’m surprised that Westerners eats livers too (other than goose livers).
Yea livers aren’t as popular here as they were in the southern US. In Southern USA they eat lots of things like livers and “gizzards” more commonly \

its almost 2am and im reading your blog and the photos of food are overwhelming me!!! THEYRE MAKING ME SO HUNGRY OMG!!
my favourite meats are duck and lamb! to be honest im probably the only one in my family who likes both of them the best haha and all your food looks sooo appetising!
make sure you stick to not going out too much to eat
have you made plans for valentines yet?
haha im sure balloons will be part of it?
Haahaa at 2am!? Oh I get so hungry if I’m up that late :(
I LOVE LAMB OMFGGGGG
I haven’t made plans yet. Though I love v-day, I sorta like chillin at home with balloons, chocolates and something goofy like a heart-shaped pizza
But I think Mike wants to go out o_o
The food looks so yummy grrr…. I’m getting hungry
And cute outfit 
Thank you so much
Oh, the food looks yummy! And I think it’s great when restaurants go with the seasons, it makes you feel like the ingredients must be fresh.
Also I love your outfit, I think the tights are very classy.
Exactly, VERY fresh ingredients this way! Thank you, I keep forgetting I have these amazing tights :(
*droooool*
The food looks so yummy and the restaurant, pretty! And your hair is so adorableee
Thank thanks!
CUTE outfit - those tights are great! And I love your short hair
