   Food was too salty and not that great for the price. Service was good but we won’t be back.

   The Thanksgiving Buffet was not the quality for which we had hoped. I’m pretty sure the creamed corn was from a can and the dressing tasted like stove top stuffing from the 70’s with pears added. The Brussels sprouts were soggy with water and had no flavor; I could not eat them. They had desserts that were not house made and the pumpkin pie crust was burned, bread pudding was very dry with no sauce. The only salad offered was finely diced beets with a small amount of cheese. We suspected the beets were canned and if you don’t like those there wasn’t one more salad option. And the gravy was runny like water and tasteless. I think they could have attempted to do much better. The Yard for Thanksgiving is a big NO for me and we do not recommend.

   We enjoyed the yard burger and steak and greens (though the avocado pudding was practically non-existent on the steak and greens). The appetizers were not very good -- skip the oysters and the plum and pepper toast. Nice ambience in the bar area and service.

   Quick night out for Mom and Dad. Much needed “us” time. Excellent ambiance. Giant window. Food was absolutely full of flavor and satisfying every expectation. Two thumbs up!

   Do not go! No one working, took over an hour to get our food. Drinks never arrived. Tables rocky and sticky with syrup from breakfast. Greens wilted and dead. Server tried her best but know it was a disaster. No bill arrived- we left a good tip. Toilet in the lobby of the hotel women's room was as shaky and unbalanced as the dining tables. All in all - avoid!

    The food had a nice presentation and tasted fine but seemed way overpriced. The menu wasn’t that extensive and only 3 things appealed to me. The prices seemed very high for what we ordered… pasta dish for $40? Spinach salad with 8 shrimp for $23 seemed more reasonable. 2 Gin and tonic $24! One glass of house wine $8. With tax and tip, $130! More than I anticipated for what we got. I do compliment our server. Don’t think we’ll be back, though.

    Server was not good at all and value was not good. $12 for a bowl of oatmeal with berries and $ for French toast … and nothing else and $4 for weak coffee without the proper condiments.

    It’s a hotel restaurant. Food was very good, but the service, atmosphere and overall experience doesn’t do the food justice or justify the premium meal prices.

    My burger was not done how I asked and we generally felt that a lot of the choices for the food were strange. Toast wasn’t toasted, the fried okra was just fried strings of okra and felt more like it belonged on top of a salad or something. In addition everyone working there just seemed really anxious, especially the manager that we saw, and it made it hard to relax and enjoy our meal

    Worst service we’ve experienced in multiple years. We were a table of 2, and there were only ~5 or 6 other tables of guests (restaurant was less than 1/2 full in total). We were seated and the manager (?) immediately brought us 2 waters. Great start. However, we then proceeded to wait for no less than 20 minutes before a waitress ever came to our table or even addressed/spoke with us. This was only AFTER I went to speak with the hostess-TWICE (once at ~13 minutes and once at 20 minutes)-about how we had not yet seen or spoken to a waitress. We watched all of the waitresses (including ours) address, attend to, talk to, bring food to, and check-up on every other table with people, MULTIPLE times, before I went back to the hostess (for the second time) and the hostess went to get our waitress. In a way, the ignoring of our table felt purposeful and deliberate. It’s like to staff didn’t even want to look at us. Once we received our food, our waitress NEVER came back to check on us (or refill our waters) until I had to flag her down to ask for the check. In sum, food was ok; kind of bland. However, worst service since pre-pandemic. Stated another way, we haven’t had service that bad in multiple, multiple years. What a shame! I hate to imagine the level of service on a night where more than 50% of the tables are full. Yikes!

    The worst restaurant experience ever. Slowest service ever blamed on low staffing in the kitchen. No effort to make any accommodations. Brought the full bill to the table even though we didn’t receive the second or third courses we ordered. My advice… stay away from The Yard.

    Only two tables had guests. Food is overpriced for what u get and it’s just mediocre. The coke machine didn’t work. The server was really on top of it which is nuts because there were only two tables full in the restaurant. It was dead on a Friday night. Sad.

    Great -attentive and kind- service. Very easy access for my mother in law and her large walker, and we could hear one another speak. Delicious food. Only disappointment was the size of the carpaccio - on the small size compared to local restaurants.

    We have visited The Yard in the past and had an excellent experience. This time, we did not have a good experience at all. Food was not good, especially for the price. The drinks were short poured: we ordered 3 Old Fashioned's, received 2 spread across 3 glasses with LOTS of ice. Our server was clearly in need of training and organizational help. We finally got water refills after trying to flag him down for 20 minutes. For the record, we did tip 20% in hopes that we could make an investment in good service down the road. My hope is that the Management Team reads this and takes some action to make big improvements. We were really looking forward to a great meal, we were disappointed.

    Booked a reservation 3 weeks ago for Easter Brunch today. My party of 5 dwindled to party of 2 due to some illness. Much to my surprise, and my husband’s, they were not serving their brunch menu as on their website or Open Table, but offering a buffet at $60 per person!! Had all 5 of us attended, that would have been a $300 meal before drinks. My husband said food was fine, but the price for the food was beyond ridiculous and who can eat everything served on a buffet anyways. For those thinking about The Yard for Mother’s Day, be aware, this may happen to you!

    Very disappointed with food, service and cost/value! This is definitely not an Easter brunch location. It was basically a standard daily Fairfield hotel breakfast buffet for which they charged 6 people (no beverages) $482.- ($59.95/person + 24% automatic tip). Lot of improvement potential!!

    Easter brunch (buffet) was $60 per person, which also wasn’t advertised. We went anyway as every other place was booked. Everything was cold including the prime rib. It was honestly pretty mediocre food for the price. I could only get a reservation at 9 AM as the others were “booked”. However the whole time we were there, 1.5 hours, hardly anyone showed up. I never do reviews but I feel this one is warranted as it definitely was not worth the $250 for 3 people and that includes only one drink. Our server was really great and I’ll give him the 5 stars. Also another note, several employees were also commenting on the price and how they would never pay that price for that food. Unfortunate experience and hopefully they can improve as it was a cool atmosphere and seems it could be a great place.

    The meat for each dish was good. The items paired with the meat in the dishes lacked flavor. The drinks were great. Service and price do not match each other. I could have spent the same amount at the restaurant across the street and the food and service would have been 10x better.
