The Yard is the place to go if you are looking for casual, down to earth, and personable experience.
I found the food choices limited, but overall, it was good. Ambiance was great, management was flexible with our seating needs. We truly enjoyed ourselves.
We were going to try out a newer restaurant to celebrate a milestone event, however, decided to dine at Pompeii. Why? Because it is our favorite Italian restaurant and we can always depend on outstanding food and service. In fact it is our favorite Los Altos restaurant.
One of us had the Daily Special, Osso Bucco that was absolutely so tender and served hot. And the other had their Veal Parmesan which is not always listed on the menu but if you ask for it they will serve it. If I am not getting seafood I many times will opt for the veal parmesan as it is so tender and a very generous serving.
Having food allergies I find they are so very accommodating and willing to substitute side dishes or adjust the main course.
Their calamari as an appetizer never disappoints - always tender and delicious.
We were too full for dessert however their Tiramisu is one of THE BEST!
We also like their selection of wine by the glass.
