    We sat at the high top table and had dessert and cocktails on the bean bags at the front. Great atmosphere, food and service.

    Hi Mandy. Thank you for your review. It's always lovely to hear when our diners thoroughly enjoyed their meal & drinks with us. It's great to be able to watch the world go by from the beanbags on the front lawn with a drink in hand! We hope to see you again soon. The Yard Team.

    Food was pretty good. My advice is order as you go so that it doesn't all come out at once.
    The Yard BrightResponded on 5 December 2024
    Hi Jackie. Thank you for leaving us your feedback. We're so glad to hear that you loved our food and thank you for providing some advice for your fellow diners. We do state that food will come out as and when it's ready on the QR code ordering system, as our menu is share style - we will look to add it being noted in several places when ordering to make it clearer for our guests. Normally we verbalise this too when seating our guests, so our apologies if this was missed on this occasion. We hope this experience would not detract from you dining with us again. The Yard Team.

    Food is good but food comes out in any order so had a large main before a starter. Gluten free available but the GF tortillas didn’t come with the rest of the tacos and we had to chase. Whilst they note on menu that food comes as ready when it is a dietary requirement has to come at the same time as the rest of the food given it is all share food. Just not good enough and ruins the otherwise good food
    The Yard BrightResponded on 12 November 2024
    Hi Andrea. Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed our food. As you mention in your review, we do state that food will come out as and when it's ready as our menu is share style consisting of smaller and larger items. When we have dishes that have dietary requirements it not always possible to bring out the same time due to needing to use separate preparation utensils / cooking & our kitchen space is on the smaller size. We apologise that the gluten free tortillas did not come out when you expected them to, but we are glad you enjoyed your meal otherwise. We hope to see you back on another occasion. The Yard Team.

    Delicious, relaxed, Mexican style dining with fabulous margaritas. Loved dining outside on Melbourne Cup weekend with our two dogs and relaxing in the bean bags on the grass after our meal.
    The Yard BrightResponded on 12 November 2024
    Hi Jenny. Thank you for giving us your feedback after dining with us over the Cup weekend enjoying our food & cocktails. We are lucky to have such a great spot with undercover and a funky outdoor space to watch the world go by. We hope to host you and your dogs again when next in the area. The Yard Team.
