   I’ve been a big fan of this place since it opened— eating there fairly consistently . Tonight was like eating at a completely different place! Some of the recipes were definitely changed— most noticeably the shrimp and grits, and the St. Louis ribs. Nicknamed the “smoke show,” but where the heck was the smoke?? One of the best parts was the presentation with the removal of the cloche— I’m dying that was taken away! It was so fun and unique. Also, the new flavor was so different. Almost sickly sweet, and not the unctuous barbecue smokey goodness we come for. My hubby said not to “be that person,” but I feel like feedback is helpful so that’s my 2cents. Those two dishes alone were worth the 60 minute drive in from the ‘burbs (on I-25 mind you) , as well as the hassle of finding street parking. Please consider changing back!

   I was a little disappointed this time around. I waited for almost ten minutes before I was acknowledged for a Reservation that required my Credit card to hold. Portions and Price point are not equal. When I first started coming to Yardbird which literally was the Grand opening,the Portions matched the Price. Now the Portions have decreased significantly yet the Price is still high. Overall the food still tastes amazing but the portion sizes simply fell short literally. I will not be returning. For a $100 meal, taste simply wasn't enough!!!

   We went for Easter Brunch. It seemed like they were understaffed. As we sat waiting for our reservation we noticed several dirty tables the needed bussed so that more diners could be seated. We were seated at our reservation time and then waited several minutes for a server.In fact, the manager, Elizabeth was our server and she was wonderful. She made up for the wait and we completely understood that sometimes you can’t help it when your employees have other priorities and leave you stranded. Our cocktails were great. The food was great! We didn’t wait too long once our order was put in which Elizabeth did immediately. It’s a bit of drive from Parker but well worth it! The fire chicken did not disappoint. The waffles were quite good, too.

   Food and drinks were great! It’s a little pricey but they give you a ton of food! My daughter and I shared the chicken and waffles and brought home leftovers. My husband had the French dip, also a huge portion, and something special. Restaurant is trendy and fun! I would go here again.

   Arrived at 10:15 for Easter brunch crowded, but not unmanageable. Noise level medium. Ordered drinks, very good arrived promptly. Ordered devil eggs, cheese grits and omelette. Service went downhill from there. Waited 20 minutes for devil eggs, another 15 for grits. Asked server, she politely replied kitchen is really understaffed, so sorry. At one hour was done waiting. If you are understaffed this badly, take fewer reservations and have a bar for waiting customers, instead of dining room seating. This was a quantity instead of quality.

   We had a great time. Delicious cocktails, upscale ambiance. We had chicken and waffles, okra, and the street corn. All was delicious. Portion sizes are large. It is more expensive which is the only con against them. Otherwise great experience

   We went Sunday night and order the $35 Sunday special. It was excellent and well worth the price. We took some home. A big plus was wines are half off Sundays so we took advantage of that as well.

    We had a good time. Little issues with it saying mashed potatoes and bringing out grits but our server made sure she gave us a side we wanted. The actual restaurant is beautiful and a lovely experience. The food is good, a little pricey but not egregious. Our server was friendly and on top of things. The hostess and or manager I think she is both was friendly. Very clean restaurant and bathroom. Definitely would recommend. Bottomless mimosas is a must.
