Clyde Common's chic, comfortable and open atmosphere adds a glimmering facet to the great downtown Portland restaurant selection. The fresh, eclectic menu changes daily and includes twists on old standbys such as albacore tuna salad with hardboiled egg and aioli, and ventures into epicurean creativity with items such as scallop crudo with pepper jelly. Desserts are creative, like a fig and cornmeal cake with sweet corn ice cream and almond tuile.
