We had a birthday Sunday brunch on October 25th at one of the big tables in the front room. The service was wonderful, Brandon and Niesha took great care of us! It was our first time at The Yard, and we loved it. Food was great, the breakfast menu was served all day on Sunday, ambience was perfect.

This was our second visit to Harvest, and once again the food was excellent. We had the Braised Short Ribs and the Cajun Cappitini (it wasn't too spicy for me!) We also enjoyed the bar and the Lavender French 75's. Service was prompt and friendly.
