⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Exceptional 18th Wedding Anniversary Experience! My wife and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary at Lapeer, and WOW, what an incredible dining experience! From the exceptional service to the beautifully prepared food, everything exceeded our expectations. First, a special shoutout to our server, Kevin! His professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality were outstanding. He was proactive without being intrusive, anticipated our needs, and knew the menu inside and out. His ServSafe qualifications and attention to detail were evident throughout the evening. Kevin truly understands the art of hospitality! Now, let’s talk about the food! We started with fried oyster sliders for me and mussels for my wife. Both were absolutely delicious! For our entrées, my wife enjoyed the lobster pasta, while I ordered the crab cakes with broccolini and shells and cheese. Now, I’m originally from Maryland, so I KNOW crab cakes! Maryland sets a pretty high standard, and I don’t give compliments lightly. Lapeer’s crab cakes were outstanding! Beautifully prepared, flavorful, and worthy of praise from this Maryland native. The broccolini and shells and cheese were equally impressive, and my wife thoroughly enjoyed her lobster pasta. We finished with a refreshing palate-cleansing sorbet, the perfect ending to an exceptional meal. What made the evening even better was the value. The quality of the food, presentation, service, and overall experience were excellent for the price. After 18 years of marriage, we’ve enjoyed many wonderful anniversary dinners, but this one will certainly be remembered. To Lapeer’s management: Kevin is a tremendous asset to your team and deserves recognition! Would we return? Absolutely! Would I order those crab cakes again? Without hesitation, and that’s coming from a Marylander! Thank you, Lapeer and Kevin, for making our anniversary so memorable. Five stars all around!

The ambiance was outstanding and it was a truly enjoyable evening with family

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.

Great views and value for the brunch! Kara was an excellent server and very attentive.

Food atmosphere and view were so nice! Great pre game spot!
