Had such a great experience, as always at Yardbird. But tonight was special. Took my mom out, which she isn't often up for these days. But she had a delightful time. The staff was so accommodating, rushing over the moment we walked in, to the attentive service throughout the meal and the friendly interaction we had with all the staff. The fantastic and yummy food and incentive drinks and over the top key lime pie was just perfect.
