    Amazing meal from the beat shared app to the Fluke and Beef Bourguignon entrees. Perfectly done. Great atmosphere, lively but not loud or overcrowded. Fantastic service by everyone who steps in to deliver your food. Gratuity is included in the bill but well deserved. Will be back!

    You could say: “Yardbird is hands down one of my favorite restaurants to dine at. The ambiance is incredible, the service is always impeccable, and the food? Absolutely stellar. My go-to dish is the St. Louis Ribs—they’re perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The collard greens are exceptional, reminiscent of my mother’s cooking, and the skillet cornbread is the cherry on top. As a food critic, I pride myself on honesty, and I can confidently give Yardbird a 10 out of 10. They consistently deliver an outstanding dining experience and never miss the mark.”

    I loved my server she was so sweet and checked on me. Highly recommend the Sancerre Bordeaux as well as the chili karaage, and 1970s garlic noodles. They both had so much smokiness and umami, and flavor. ALSO great vegetarian options for your vegetarian friends! I am definitely coming here again!

    This place is absolutely phenomenal! The experience kicked off with amazing appetizers paired with incredible drinks. The drink selection was massive, offering something for every taste. The bone marrow appetizer was a standout—rich, flavorful, and perfectly executed. I also loved the twist on the selection of tequila; it was creative and refreshing. To top it all off, the dessert was both delicious and a visual masterpiece. Every dish felt like a work of art, from the flavors to the presentation. A must-visit for food lovers
