    Had such a great experience, as always at Yardbird. But tonight was special. Took my mom out, which she isn't often up for these days. But she had a delightful time. The staff was so accommodating, rushing over the moment we walked in, to the attentive service throughout the meal and the friendly interaction we had with all the staff. The fantastic and yummy food and incentive drinks and over the top key lime pie was just perfect.

    We had a lovely dinner to celebrate my father’s birthday. Elyse our server was very nice and attentive, she comped our drinks because the coffee machine was broken and we had ordered coffee because it was so cold so that was really nice. Gabby the manager even came over several times to make sure we were having a terrific experience. Gabby was so sweet and made us feel like we were family and kept checking on us to make sure our food was perfect, she even brought us togo containers before we needed to ask because she saw we were going to need them. Gabby even made sure that my Dad was brought out a delicious birthday dessert! Elyse & Gabby provided excellent service and we will definitely be back very soon. Sauced BBQ & Spirits will be added to our regular restaurant rotation now!
