  Hyde park is keeping their 5 star review in my books, I still love the food and its one of my favorites in the area.
  
  We got the short rib mac and cheese, which was so creative and delicious. The short rib was phenomenal, I'd definitely order the short rib with potatoes dish next time I come given how delicious it was. The mac and cheese was actually not very heavy, it was well sauced but somehow wasn't heavy. Everyone who tasted it loved it!
  
  My wife shared a pizza with pepperoni and jalapeño. The peppers are fresh and spicy, these aren't your average pickled ones, and they were delightful. The pizza here is one of my favorites in the area, anything you get is sure to please.
  
  My mother in law ordered the hamburger, which she seemed to enjoy, but the hamburger didn't seem to be one of the better ones in the area, but is a good option if you're eating here and not craving Italian.
  
  We got the beet terrine again, which is so delicious! I would love a little more goat cheese relative to beets in the dish, but I love the presentation of the dish, and its very creative.

  This is our first time to dine here we've been wanting to try it for quite a while we had beef, brussel sprouts, pretzel and an appetizer that was very unusual but delicious.
  The presentation of the food was absolutely superb the only drawback is they only had one server and I actually had to wipe off my own table.
  The short ribs with the grilled potatoes was very flavorful the brussel sprouts were too big green not really cook through I asked for lemon it was missing something not sure if it's maybe some sea salt or some other kind of spices but I didn't much care for it.
  The appetizer with pate and salami and prosciutto and olives and green beans was very tangy. The best thing I think that we had was the pretzel.

  Great place. The chef has some creative dishes, including a very unique best salad. Sandwiches, pizza, all good. The appetizers are also very interesting.
  
  I'd love to see this place grow. One thing that I think would fit the vibe of this place is to take the corner with the chairs and couch thingy and make a little area for live music. I think live music here would be a great fit.
  
  Also, and more importantly, something MUST be done about the giant, unsafe potholes at the entrance. These things are huge (seems like 6 to 7 inch hard cliff on one of them). And when it rains and fills with water, you can't see them at all (ask me how I know). Now, the parking lot as a whole is not great, and it does flood (it needs drainage improvements), but at the very least these potholes need to get filled in. If someone takes that entrance at a higher rate of speed and hits those things they could lose control and someone could get really hurt, not to mention the damage to the vehicle. I'm sure adding drainage is expensive, but unsafe potholes could be filled in an afternoon with concrete from home Depot. Someone please take care of this!

  I was pleasantly surprised by this place!  I expected it to be super crowded, as we came here on a Sunday. However, it was Father's Day so who knows where everyone was at!
  
  Had a glass of sparkling​ rosé and ordered the cheese board for starters. It has 2 different kinds of cheese, bread, pecans and some sort of candied apricot.  Really tasty!
  
  I was really​ on the fence about doing a build your own type pizza or doing the Nice to Meat Y'all.  I decided if I was going to undo the 650 calories I had burned earlier that day that I may as well go all in!  I had them put the borrata cheese on it.  For $5 I would not do this again.  I am not saying it wasn't good, it was, but it didn't seem worth the extra scratch.
  
  Hubby got the Pepperoni Pizza and some mac n cheese.  He was happy with both.  
  
  This is a nice place to come for something different or if you want to consume more calories than you burned that morning. LOL!!

  Clear Lake is up and coming in the fancy pants drink scene - finally!  After venturing for years into town to places like Pastry War and Anvil, i'm happy to say that Lyft bills will be getting less painful, thanks to additions like Hyde Park.  
  
  The aesthetic is mid-century modern meets old-school speakeasy.  Drinks are consistently $9-10 during non-happy hour times ($5-6 during hh and they also have a hh food menu. m-f 3-6pm). bartenders are itching to make things off the menu, so feel free to tell them what flavors you'll like and they'll whip you up something awesome.
  
  they have lunch specials, including a giant 1-topping pizza for $10 and huge warm sandwiches.  Everything is cooked in a wood-fired oven which makes it extra delizioso.
  
  This is a great place for a team lunch or a girls night out.  
  
  Bonus - you can also bring your dog and sit on the outside patio.  If you sit on the outside patio you can also buy beers/food from Nobi and eat them there because it is a common area between the two restaurants.  Great if some of you want beer and some of you want cocktails.
  
  Cheers to Hyde Park!
