    The menu isn't extremely long, but the food is creative and excellently prepared. We had a new version of their chicken dish and I had the burger which was off the menu. Both were excellent. We also had wedge salad and beef tartar, all worthwhile.

    Our experience at Yhe Yard was good. Service was pleasant and efficient. Food was better than expected - especially recommend the loaded quesadillas and the chicken Caesar salad. The only problem was finding the place since their listed address on 5th is not where they are - actually on Graeme.
