Our experience at the Yard House yesterday was outstanding! We were celebrating my birthday and our server Logan was amazing! He was extremely professional and did a great job answering our questions, especially mine related to gluten free options. I love that the restaurant has a gluten friendly menu also. I ordered drink that I didn’t like,and he replaced it no problem without the extra charge. He also brought out a complimentary GF cheesecake for me with Happy Birthday written in chocolate powder. The food was hot and delicious and everyone my group loved it, including my kids. I had the seared ahi tuna sandwich which was delicious. They also have a great kids menu. We didn’t feel rushed at all and all of the staff were so kind and accommodating. We also didn’t have to wait with our reservation and were able to sit outside. I loved having the awning in case of rain. Our waiter even took our picture afterwards. Our experience here made my birthday so special. I would definitely recommend and will be dining there again!

About the restaurant

Welcome to Sawatdee - Minneapolis! We are OPEN for dine in, take out and delivery.

Serving award-winning Thai cuisine since 1983, Sawatdee is home to Thai food, party spaces, a great happy hour, live music, and impeccable service.

When we first opened our doors at 1983, the Sawatdee mission was simple: to take our community on an adventure full of Thai flavors and good times. Many years later, that adventure is still as exciting as ever. Not only we expanded with more restaurants to share our flavors with more folks, we've added to to the flavors we offer, as well!

Our Minneapolis location is a beautiful warehouse-turned-restaurant, complete with a gold leaf ceiling and glass etchings of a Thai goddess. Specialties include Rama Thai Delight, Pad Thai, and a Tail of Two Cities.

Thai it. You'll Like it! (tm)

The food was very spiceless and lacked flavor. The waiter was kind of rude when we asked questions to set expectations.
