    I had never been to the Yard before and found it on the internet. After searching through many restaurants, I booked a reservation at the Yard based on what I had seen on their website. In general, not as it seems. I reserved to eat outside in the court yard. Only to find out it is the sidewalk and no seat was available for what whatever the reason. I saw the tables but no chairs. Only had two people working our side of the restaurant. The hostess and the waiter. Needless to say it was a bit of a wait or our food, drinks and refills. Food, was very tasteful, but not hot, barely warm. Again, not impressed but disappointed in the Website to the actual dining experience. Anyway that was my take away from the YARD. Food had a really good taste.

    At first I was skeptical . The service was slow in the beginning, the drink menu had a lot of the drinks marked through that they no longer served but then…. Our waiter was very good, the drinks yummy and the food was absolutely amazing. I had the hamburger and asked for it to be just warm and pink in the middle and they fixed it perfectly. My friend had the ribs and they were delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    The food was great but the service was so bad. Our server was never around and it took over an hour to get our food when there were only 2 other couples in the whole restaurant.

    This was honestly the worst service experience I’ve ever had. The food was ok. It’s New Years Eve, and it was busy, but if you advertise a New Years Eve dinner, then staff for it? I’ve never experienced such indifference towards me during a meal than I did here. We were there for 2 hours and had at least 20 mins between each course and drink. We wanted a nice new years date night, and were so looking forward to eating here based on reviews, but we won’t be coming back. Better food and service elsewhere in Birmingham. Don’t waste your LITERAL time.

    The lobster bisque we were served on NYE was probably the best I've ever had. Overall, the rest of the food was good, but not necessarily worth the price. Our steak and short ribs were both a bit overcooked. In terms of service, it was fine, but the wine pairings for NYE did not come out on time and my husband received his entree about 15 minutes before I did. The server was polite, but it was just a bit disorganized for the very high price.

    The food was great! Parking was difficult, the wait staff was very slow, had to ask numerous times for the same items, did not remember drink orders.

    Absolutely amazing. Traveling from out of town but will be back. Enjoyed a wonderful dinner then followed it up the next morning with breakfast. Tried the Summer Ratatouille Gnocchi & the Filet! AMAZING! For breakfast the biscuits & gravy were also amazing. Great staff, great food, great ambiance.
