First impressions are everything, right?!? Ours was outstanding. We booked a surprise birthday celebration at Yellow Door Bistro and experience was top notch in every aspect. From Tas taking our experience to the next level through her welcome, care, and attention to detail - to Adam who brought incredible energy that made us feel extra special. A big thank you to Tas & Adam; you are great ambassadors of Yellow Door Bistro! The food was excellent! Each of us ordered a different meal yet had the same fantastic experience - from the beautiful aromas, to the plate presentation, to the pure delicousness of the food. We'd highly recommend Yellow Door Bistro for a truly fine dining experience at an economical cost. 10 out of 10!

It’s a place that has good service & ambience. The food is overpriced and meh. We went for the Mother’s Day brunch. The food was under seasoned & unimaginative.

Loved most of the food and desserts. Carbonated pop was flat for my wife unfortunately. For our first time going to this restaurant, we had a nice Mother’s Day brunch!

I have never reviewed a restaurant but I had to with this one. Our food took too long to come out, approximately 40 minutes. Almost 10 minutes had passed after we ordered when we were told our choice was not available. This would have been good to know 10 minutes prior. Had the restaurant been packed, I would have understood but there were maybe 5 other tables in the entire establishment. In addition, they were preparing for a brunch buffet, possibly contributing to the delayed delivery of our food. I booked a reservation for 8:15 and the buffet was supposed start at 9:00. We decided to order from the menu as the $75/person buffet price was a bit steep (the website and menu said $36/person btw). If the restaurant was prepared to accept reservations before the buffet opened, they should have been able to accommodate this. We ordered eggs Benedict poached medium. It came out poached hard and the fresh microgreens looked like it had been under a heat lamp for way too long. Second came the brisket omelet which also was also extremely overcooked, full of gristle, and the omelet itself was beyond overdone. Finally, the fruit my daughter received was starting to turn as it also looked like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. I was trying to start my day on a positive note for Mother’s Day so did not want to complain to staff about all of the other issues, we did let the staff know about the brisket and were provided with free mimosas which I appreciate but I can’t say I’ll ever be back.

Fantastic Server took really great care of us. Manager on duty was very attentive and helpful. So hard with a brunch buffet, however food was cool at times when expecting hot. Didn’t stop me from going back it was all really tasty! Will definitely return!
