Way overpriced. Fried green tomatoes were delicious, pork on top was completely unnecessary and not good. Deviled eggs were good. The chicken and waffles was so massive, it should say “feeds two.” These portions are why Americans are dying. Went for my birthday dinner, which I noted on the reservation. My 10 year old also hinted to the waitress that it was my bday and she ignored him. And the service charge was built into the cost, so no reason for her to accommodate guests. They were unable/ unwilling to accommodate a side dish change, instead suggesting we order another side. The support staff were wonderful and friendly. Almost $300 bill, waste of money and a miserable bday experience.

Being GF, I was in heaven…they have the best GF fried chicken & waffles. We had the deviled eggs as an appetizer & a side of the crispy Brussels (both were amazing). I’m so glad we found this restaurant & will come back each time I’m in the city from now on. The music wasn’t that loud, we were on the 2nd floor which was a bit quite r than the 1st. We had 3 different specialty cocktails & they were all wonderful. I’m giving this restaurant 5 stars!

Food was good. I felt it was overpriced. Celebrated my daughter's birthday here. It most $$$$ restaurants I eat at they comp the birthday dessert. I was shocked that the cake was $25. Which I feel is overpriced. Other than the restaurant being pricey. We enjoyed dinner. I spent about $500 for 3 people.

We sat at the chef's table and had a perfect view of the kitchen. Plate after plate of yummy food was coming out with such precision and care. Our server, Jennifer, was great! Everyone loved the appetizers and entrées at our table; from the deviled eggs to the keylime pie. I can't wait to get home to my leftovers. Yum!!!

Great ambience good food but too loud. The music was too loud to have any dinner conversation. There is no excuse for having music levels as if you are in a concert or a noisy bar for a restaurant that charges 40 dollars for 1/2 a chicken. You expect it to be sophisticated.

The food was okay. The lobster in the lobster mac and cheese was mushy and dirty looking. The service was horrible. Our apps came out after the food. Our server only came to the table once. The restaurant was not busy. I guess she didn't care since they add a 20% gratuity to the bill. Will not be back.

Service was extremely slow. The manager eventually came by and provided water for the table, however when our waiter finally came he never refilled water throughout our visit. The food was tasty but as many have said a bit overpriced. Drinks are definitely over priced. The pork and beef ribs were excellent. Not sure if I’d return as I feel because there’s an automatic 20% gratuity charged to all parties, there’s no incentive for them to work for a tip.

Decided to try Yardbird out for brunch and it was a good choice. The food and drinks were delicious, nice ambiance, although service was a tad slow. I also didn’t care for being seated next to the window which was open btw. it was quite busy outside and it felt a little intrusive bc so many people were walking and driving by. it was also pricey but I expected that. I would go back.

Our server was great! Drinks were good but, the food was underwhelming to me. The fried chicken was really good but, needed some spice to it. They rely on their hot honey sauce which is very vinegar forward to me.The waffles were ok & the maple syrup was way to sweet for me. Overall it was a 6/10.

I had the gluten free waffles and fried chicken. Absolutely amazing and I loved every bit of it. The waffles are a crème brûlée dream that paired well with the sturdy but tender waffle. The strawberries and cream were a hit. The chicken gluten is top notch, brined possibly?!?! Excellent brunch and service

Has potential to be a staple restaurant in downtown Chicago but feels like a money grab with the prices compared to the food portions and weak drinks. Mgmt. needs to do research in the area if they want longevity.

Wonderful ambiance and enjoyed all aspects of my meal (chicken and waffles) and drink. The service was great, and I had no problem with the mandatory 20% gratuity. But, wow, the profit margins on the food must be astonishing! Hard to justify the prices.

Food was outstanding! We split many different items (4 of us) and ordered way too much. But very fun to have so many things to sample. Loved the bolognese, perfect flavors. The corn bread was wonderful, as was the street corn and Brussel sprouts. We also had prawn salad, a bit spicy, and a caprice salad which really could have been shared by 3 people (given all of the other items ordered). Drinks were good and staff was attentive. Fun atmosphere, but it gets noisy as it gets more crowded…fine for us, but just to let you know. We would all definitely go back.
