    We always have a wonderful time at Yardbird. We requested a specific table that accommodates our family for our annual family reunion and they were able to accommodate us which was great.  it was very crowded so it took a while for our food to arrive but our server did a wonderful job and was as efficient and friendly as she could be considering the big rush of people that came the same time that we showed up for our reservation! The fried chicken and short ribs were wonderful and the vegetables were great as usual.. street corn, fried okra & yummy mashed potatoes. We were happy to see that fried okra was back on the menu after a lengthy absence! We were sad to see that the mango salad was taken off the menu. The biscuits were great and the only Item we got that was just OK was their rather dry Caesar salad which could use some anchovies & homemade croutons in my humble opinion! The bourbon lemonade is delicious too! We will be back soon. The complimentary chocolate candy at the meals’ end was a nice touch. Overall, we all had a super time at Yardbird!!!

    This is the seaside restaurant for the standard hotel, and I would recommend eating here whether you’re staying at the hotel or if you just come to eat. One of the best hidden gyms in all of Miami. The food was fantastic. And our server Luis was even better
