    Yardbird is one of my favorites! This location did not disappoint! Our waitress Shujana was super friendly and helpful. Excellent service. The food as always was great. I had chicken and waffles. Definitely recommend. Super classy atmosphere and vibe. We had a party of 10 and the restaurant had the perfect set-up and accommodated us moving up our reservation by 1.5 hours. All around 10 out of 10!

    We had a lovely dinner to celebrate my father’s birthday. Elyse our server was very nice and attentive, she comped our drinks because the coffee machine was broken and we had ordered coffee because it was so cold so that was really nice. Gabby the manager even came over several times to make sure we were having a terrific experience. Gabby was so sweet and made us feel like we were family and kept checking on us to make sure our food was perfect, she even brought us togo containers before we needed to ask because she saw we were going to need them. Gabby even made sure that my Dad was brought out a delicious birthday dessert! Elyse & Gabby provided excellent service and we will definitely be back very soon. Sauced BBQ & Spirits will be added to our regular restaurant rotation now!
