   Always a great time going to Yardbird. Servers always treat my younger kids with the upmost care. Love going whenever we get a chance.

   Going to a restaurant that gets the food almost right, but fails so miserably on service is frustrating. My recent experience at Yardbird was horrible. We were on time for our reservation and had to wait 15 minutes to be seated. The waiter brought out all of our food at the same time, when we specifically told him what we wanted to start, and what we wanted as our entrees. When we said something, he was argumentative. He then said he was bringing the check and that we couldn't order dessert because the restaurant closes at 10:00pm. He went even further and said the hostess should have told you our hours. I really think he should have come over at some point and told us the kitchen was closing and that if we wanted dessert, we should order it.

   The first time my wife and I went to Yardbird was in Vegas and we loved it. We wanted to enjoy it again and tried the DC location this time around. The food, service, and ambiance was spectacular. I will always recommend Yardbird to anyone.

   The service could have been better. And why is the 18% gratuity already added in? That’s probably why the service is poor, they already know that they have a tip coming. I won’t eat there again.

    Food was decadent and delicious! Prices were pretty steep, but somewhat expected in the DC area. Highly recommend the fried chicken, lobster mac & cheese, and creamed corn!

    The food was outstanding. The service however left a lot to be desired. Even though we arrived on time there was a party of two that was seated before us. I had to call over the host who sat us to ask if we would be seeing a waiter. The waiter came with an attitude and took our order. He only came back once to see how the food was. But they get you because even for small parties they include Alan 18% gratuity. Go for the food but hope you have a better waiter who cares about you as a patron

    We went for some quick bites and cocktails before a hockey game. Our service was incredible! We told the server we were in a bit of time crunch. He was amazing! Food came out quick and hot. Cocktails were on point and absolutely gorgeous. Will definitely be back to experience more of the menu.

    I arrived at 11am with a reservation and was able to walk right in. The initial greeting with the front desk was a little rough but once we got seated, it was amazing from there after. One note, is that the bathroom wasn’t very clean but the decor was cool and modern

    Great food. The chicken and waffles is as good as they advertise. I even loved to signature old fashioned. But..... Bring the bill. It took us 20 minutes from clearing the table to leaving the tip and we were not subtle about being done. We had to practically rugby tackle a server to get them to let us pay and leave. 2 minutes more and it would have ruined the meal.

    My friends and I took the train from Baltimore to Washington D.C. just to have brunch here. Our reservation was for 8 but it ended up being 10 of us. No problem, the host accommodated us. The atmosphere is wonderful. Our Server was flustered from the beginning. He took our drink orders rather quickly. Keep in mind we were seated at 12:15 pm. Our food order wasn't taken until 1:05 pm. The Manager walked by our table at 1:20 pm and asked if we were good. By that time we were 2 or 3 drinks in so yes we were. Our food came it was amazing. Our Server was just super overwhelmed, sweating profusely and needed either a smaller section or he just cannot handle that type of volume on a Saturday afternoon and should have that day off. He was very nice and tried to be as attentive as possible but it was only so much he could do. He's one person. Overall my experience here was great. Service could've been better but I'll give it another try maybe on a not so busy brunch day.

    Food was great as usual, but service was poor. We were seated at a table in the bar area and the bartender was servicing these tables as well. Very slow to take order, never refilled drinks and had to stop someone after waiting for an extensive period time for the check. Love the food, but service was lacking.

    Food is great. Tricky if you are a vegetarian, but my daughter enjoyed her waffles. It took a long time to get our drinks. Other people around us, seated after us, were served long before us. And I mean well over 15 minutes. Once we ordered we never saw our server again. I had to flag down someone for salt and pepper. The Nutella stuffed beignets were fantastic.

    The chicken and waffles were very good - we asked our server the size and he said it was a pretty good size. So 2 people in our party ordered it. It arrived on a platter with tongs and is clearly meant to be shared. Probably should have mentioned that since we had so much left over! We also ordered a cinnamon roll for the table to share which was just ok. Order of biscuits had 4 huge ones and I made my own sandwich with egg and bacon - tasty. Pretty cool spot and good food. Tough to choose what to get, but was also tough if you’re trying to be on the healthier side. My husband got the omelette of the day and it was pretty bland/boring. Oh my one actual complaint is the ‘hot honey’ sauce that they bring to the table for whatever (but def the chicken) was clearly just Buffalo sauce and very disappointing since we love hot honey. Just spring for the mikes if you’re gonna phone it in like that, yardbird!

    Service was excellent— from front of house to back of house. I found the ambience was lacking in that the music played was really abysmal— it was generally unpleasant to eat a meal and kibbutz with friends with AC/DC and heavy meta playing. You all can do a much better job in creating an aurally pleasing atmosphere that is also not musically misaligned with the clientele and the cuisine

    We’ve been to the Yardbird in Miami, the DC location has a much better vibe. The service was above averageTerrance was a great server and the hostess and GM came over to check that everything was up to par which it was, food and drinks were excellent and we didn’t feel rushed whatsoever, will definitely be back!
