Food quality and choices are exceptional. Everything was unique with tons of flavor. The Gumbo, short rib, pork steak and mac and cheese are all divine. The service was mostly reasonable. The staff are all exceptionally nice but our drinks came after our food, we had to ask multiple times for refills. We ordered family style, which was great, but the food arrived and we had no individual plates to serve the food and had to flag someone down to get them. Overall I highly recommend it but for the price I would expect better attention to detail from the staff. I will go back because the food is that good!

This was my first time at Yardbird and we had a great time. My bf loves bourbon and we opted for the “Dealer’s Choice” bourbon flight. Leni our server was amazing and she took the experience seriously. It was a joy to watch her and her crew select the options and even more of a joy for my bf to try them. When we go back, we would definitely request her service.
