I went to Pilsen Yards for my yearly birthday dinner! The food was really good, hot, fresh and great portions! I would recommend getting a reservation since it's very crowded on weekends after 5 pm. I will definitely be back!

I was there with 4 other people, host was super nice and welcoming. Waitress seemed nice but not genuinely happy to take care of us. She seemed annoyed when we asked to order appetizers after she brought us our drinks. Food came out at a decent time, it was good! The bus boy kept coming around to pick up our table.. which is good but he tried clearing up my plate which I wasn’t even done with.. and clearing our salsa and chips which we also weren’t done with. Almost like the minute he saw us paused from eating (because we were talking) we’d dash over to clear our table. The waitress brought us the receipt right away. I understand there’s usually a time limit- they went to get people in and out but there were so many tables open… it wasn’t full at all. We left feeling rushed out which is why we didn’t go to Del Toro and came here instead. Food and drinks are good but nothing that you can’t find somewhere else, where they possibly won’t rush you out on a non busy night.
