This was our first visit to Yardbird and, overall, we had a very good experience. The food was very good, the portion sizes were very good, and the cost was in line with what we expected for this kind of restaurant. I would highly recommend the fried chicken or the chicken and waffles. Service was very good and it is a nice venue.
