I was in Orlando for a conference and came here for lunch with members of my office. The steak bowl is delicious! The steak is cooked to order-makes a big difference. I had it cooked to medium....it was so tender. The mushrooms and the sauce added so much flavor! And as an added bonus it was in the under 600 calorie menu. Our server was also great-she was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. It also is a large location-perfect for groups.
I would suggest going on the website and reserving your spot ahead of time. It lets you enter the number of people in your party and gives you an estimated wait time, which I found to be pretty accurate. It sends you text updates, and the technology is actually pretty cool. It can tell when you're not close enough yet and will tell you to check in once you're closer to the restaurant. There were 6 of us in the group, so reserving ahead definitely helped. I actually had to do it twice because we reserved our spot before we left, and by the time we got there, it had timed out. I checked in again, and when we arrived, the host said, "I see you checked in twice." He told us the wait would probably be about 10 minutes, and we ended up waiting less than that before being seated. Considering it's at Icon Park and it was the night of a game, the place was packed with a lot of hustle and bustle. I was impressed that we were seated so quickly, especially with a party of 6. Our waiter, Matt, was amazing, and the food was amazing too. We ordered what felt like almost every appetizer on the menu. We had the Cali Roll Stack, Parmesan truffle fries, crispy Brussels sprouts, spinach dip, and the vegan Gardein wings. The Cali Roll Stack was probably my favorite appetizer. It was so good, and it was made with real crab. Most places use imitation crab, and Matt even told us that's why it's his favorite appetizer too. He was absolutely right. The Gardein wings were surprisingly good. We ordered the Korean chili garlic and Buffalo flavors, and if nobody had told me they were vegan, I probably wouldn't have known. I'd never had a soy-based wing before, but I would definitely order them again. The Parmesan truffle fries were exactly what you want them to be, and the crispy Brussels sprouts disappeared fast. At that point, it seemed like everyone else was tapped out, but somehow we still had room to eat. We ordered the lobster garlic noodles, and they were amazing. They didn't skimp on the lobster either. There were big chunks of real lobster throughout the dish, along with spinach and garlic noodles. Definitely one of my favorite entrées of the night. I also tried the Key Lime Cider, and I liked that they let me sample it before ordering. It ended up being really refreshing and exactly what I was looking for. For dessert, we shared the brownie cookie topped with ice cream. Oh my God. I don't even like chocolate like that, and it was amazing. Yard House has never really disappointed me, but this visit was especially good. I don't know if we were just starving or if the chef was having an exceptional night, but kudos and hats off to the kitchen. Parking was easy too. Levels 3 and 4 of the garage were free, so there was no need to pay or get anything validated. Overall, everything was smooth from start to finish. Great service, great food, easy parking, and a surprisingly short wait despite how busy it was. 10/10, highly recommend.
Christine, Robert, and leadership who offered to pack up our dinner tonight - Thank you! Little did you know, I celebrated my new dream job today and out of all the restaurants - we wanted to celebrate here. Happy hour is affordable and the selections for apps are to-die for. We shared the calamari and queso dip, and my fiance got the pork chop and I got the steak bowl. Pork chop and steak was cooked to tender and the veggies were seasoned perfectly. It was a reminder why we chose this place as a celebration. Thank you for a wonderful night! I wish we got the manager's name, but he was with Robert and we thank-you for hosting us and creating a special space of hospitality. We enjoyed the night and can't wait to come back and bring our friends and family. Spent my first dream job paycheck here. That says something!
Went here on a vacation and I honestly don't think I've ever had better service. Our waitress was top line and incredibly impressive. How she remembered our huge groups order without even writing anything down is still a mystery to me. She filled our drinks when they were not even a quarter of the way empty. Her knowledge of what's on tap and her recommendations were on point. If you are lucky enough to get Sinead as your server, you won't be disappointed. She deserves all the raises.
We have never seen a Yard House so we decided to give it a try. It's owned by Darden who owns Olive Garden, Bahama Breeze, etc. I think this is probably one of their best restaurant concepts. The place is large and there are lots of staffing moving around quickly. It can be a bit loud inside so if you want to carry on a relaxing conversation I would recommend getting a table outside. The inside is large with plenty of seating options. Food - We both had burgers and they were cooked perfectly. The Bacon and Blue could have used just a bit more blue cheese. The bacon was plentiful and crispy (not two little 4 inch fatty pieces like fast food placed). My friend opted to swap out fries for Mac and cheese. The portion size was large enough for two, but it wasn't the best mac we've had - tasted mostly like cheddar cheese and not creamy. Beverages - lots of choices from the bar. I tried a Key Lime Cider that was so refreshing and there is a full bar. There is a brewery above the resturant - not sure it's in use but it looks neat. Atmosphere - it's a large place and can get loud inside. We checked out several places in Icon park and this was the only place that had a wait, but it was worth it. There are lots of places to choose from in the area, but I'm sure we will be back and looking for other locations in other cities.
Came here after a long day. There was a long wait time, which is understandable because of the location. We were seated near the kitchen, so it was a bit noisy while trying to dine. It was very busy, but the waiters were really nice and attentive, but if you are easily sensory overloaded, it would be best to let the host know that you would want to be seated either outside or not close to the kitchen. The food was delicious. The salmon with mashed potatoes and vegetables is my go to. We also had the lettuce wraps which were phenomenal. The menu is very diverse so you can pick anything that you're feeling or if you are dining with picky eaters, I would dine back here, but I would make the host aware of my ambience needs beforehand.
We came here over the weekend for lunch and enjoyed our time and meal here! There was plenty of seating available both in and outdoors. We decided to sit outside since it was so nice out! Our server was prompt and friendly. Our food came out quickly and correctly! Everyone enjoyed their meal, and the portioning was very fair. Overall we had a great experience and would come back again if in the area!
Yum! We stopped in here for a Friday lunch and ordered some beers and lunch - it was super busy but we were sat right away. We ordered drinks and waters and our waitress brought them out quickly. Then we ordered a few entrees, and one of the great things is one of our party members is Vegan and she had a few options to choose from! We also love Yardhouse as a staple if we can't choose where to go
Our server Ashley was amazing! She was efficient, diligent and outstanding! She gave us some great food suggestions such as the pork chop, ahi tuna and cheese curds! Ashley always refilled our water and soda water glasses before we had to ask her! Even when we had an issue with our salmon where the cauliflower fried rice was over seasoned, she immediately reported it to the kitchen and they gave us a replacement! Yard House is lucky to have Ashley represent them! The dining experience here with Ashley was really a positive one! Thank you Ashley!
Met family for lunch here while visiting Orlando. This location is in Icon Park and has a very open and airy feel compared to others. I got my favorite dish that I always get at my local Yardhouse in Vegas...the one here was exceptionally good - the amazing tuna stack. My other guests got the vampire tacos and liked them, as well. Definitely a fun location & great menu...if in Orlando it's worth a stop.
We went to this Yard House because we've enjoyed other locations, and this one definitely holds its own. It's a huge space, so even on a busy Saturday night it felt well organized. My husband and I split the fried calamari, which was just so-so, and the orange chicken with Korean rice, which was actually very good. Big plus for our waiter being attentive, especially given how busy it was. One tip: add your name to the waitlist ahead of time. We did, and by the time we arrived, our table was ready -- super smooth and worth doing. Be aware that it gets very noisy inside. It was too cold to sit outside when we went, so that wasn't an option. Still, overall it's decent, reliable, and does the trick when you're looking for a lively spot with consistent food. To me its not fantastic, its decent. And that's something I know is good. Decent value as well.
We stopped in for a late lunch at Yard House in Orlando and lucked out by arriving right as happy hour was getting started -- always a win. Let's start with the drinks. My wife ordered a Blue Moon with an orange wedge, and our server Brandon suggested a Key Lime cider for me since I like citrus beers and ciders. I'm a big key lime pie fan, so that was an easy yes -- and it did not disappoint. Super refreshing. For happy hour apps, we went a little wild (no regrets). First up were the chicken lettuce wraps served in a fried wonton shell -- seriously delicious and packed with flavor. Next was Miguel's Queso Dip, a rich blend of queso and spices baked in a cast iron skillet. We added taco meat for a small upcharge, and it was 100% worth it. We also ordered the beef sliders: four sliders with cheese and garlic dill pickles on sweet Hawaiian rolls, served with fries. Solid, satisfying, and perfect for sharing. Happy hour runs Monday-Thursday from 3-6 PM, with half-priced appetizers and $2 off beers and cocktails, which makes it an even better deal. The place wasn't too busy when we arrived but was definitely filling up by the time we left. We don't have a Yard House near where we live, so we always try to stop by when we're in Orlando. Brandon was fantastic -- super friendly, helpful, and had a great positive attitude that really added to the experience. If you're visiting Orlando and staying near International Drive, Yard House is absolutely worth checking out.
Came to Yard House for drinks and appetizers and had a great experience. The atmosphere was lively but still comfortable, and service was quick and friendly. The gin and tonics were perfectly balanced and refreshing. For apps, we ordered the Poke Nachos and the Spicy Tuna Stack -- both were fantastic. The Poke Nachos were fresh and flavorful with just the right crunch, and the Spicy Tuna Stack was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. Great spot to unwind, grab drinks, and share some appetizers. We'll definitely be back next time we're on International Drive!
Honestly, this review is way overdue. Yard House is my Happy Hour go-to spot. They have awesome happy hour deals on both food and drinks--the appetizers you see here are included--and I finally dined in for dinner and I was not disappointed then either. Come early, because this place gets packed quickly. I suppose everyone knows about the good drinks and food! It's fairly large inside. Clean and tidy, and the aesthetic is very pleasing to the eye. The food is amazing. They have THE best boneless wings (which I'm never really a fan of because really, are boneless wings really wings?) .. But these "wings" (insert chuckle here) are ALL meat and hardly any breading. The spinach dip is a must have--I prefer the pita looking chips over the tortilla chips--but that's just a personal preference, and they give you both. The sliders are also pretty good and they come with fries. When I came for dinner, I had the lobster garlic noodles which was packed with lobster and had a great flavor to it. My ONLY negative is that they place gets so busy that sometimes you have to wait a bit longer than usual for service, but they have the ordering systems at the table for this reason I suppose... However, when the waiters/bartenders DO come around, they are pleasant and helpful. Can't go wrong coming here.. just get there early or be prepared to wait a little. read more
I have been to other Yard House locations before and since we were in the area decided to give them a try. On a busy Saturday afternoon, we were seated before our estimated wait time (15 to 20 min), which that was a plus! The hostess at the door takes tour name and number and they text you to let you know your table is ready. Then, another hostess takes you to your table. The restaurant is big and in the heart of ICON Park. The menu has a good selection and they are known for their beer offerings and they even serve local beer. Our server Cynara was nice, attentive, checked on us often (even when busy) and made sure our food came as expected. We ordered the Cilantro Lime Chicken, Whiskey Glazed Salmon, Small Cobb Salad with Salmon and a large Caesar Salad with Chicken. For drinks we had their house margarita, a gin drink and yuengling beer. Food was made to order, fresh, quality ingredients, cooked well, nicely plated and good value for the price. We enjoyed our meal and will be back when we come to the area. read more

I had been wanting to try this restaurant for a while and I happened to be in the area so I gave it a shot. It's your typical American restaurant with bar food and TVs all around, but definitely nicer. I ordered a pepperoni and mushroom pizza. The toppings were very yummy, but it was one of those premade crusts. That's not worth $17. For that amount, I can get a wood-fired pizza made from scratch at another restaurant. At least the ranch it came with was really good. The service was also nice. Our server was friendly and on top of things. They were able to sit us pretty quickly even though the restaurant was busy. The best part about this restaurant is the location and the ambiance. It's right in the Orlando Eye and it's beautifully decorated. They have tons of space and lights. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. I just wish the quality of the food matched the price. read more
This Yard House location is always a fun option. They are in a great location, right in front of the ICON ferris wheel, with lots of things to do in that area. The staff has been extremely friendly the feel times I have visited this location. For beer drinkers, this is the place to go. They have a huge variety of beers from all over. I tried the Kona and it was great. As you can see on my pictures they have a half yard size which is a fun option and you can always share with friends which will make it cheaper. They also have a vast food variety from sandwiches and burgers to steaks and asian food. Everything I have tried so far is great. I usually get a bunch of appetizers which goes great with beer. Definitely recommend!!!! read more

I've visited about 2 years ago! Every trip I've come to yard house. So it's been a total of 5 times.. expect more as I'm close to the location now. The spinach dip is so good.. it's cheesy and delightful.. wish they gave you more but it's an appetizer, so I understand lol I've had the cheesesteak and sweet potatoes fries, so good and the steak is really tender and a great amount of fries to top! The jambalaya is not too spicy; just right! The sunset margarita is so refreshing and light. Not too much alcohol.. I'm a light weight so I know my limits. So it's really good! **Its always pack at night/weekends and sometimes during the week it's busy as well. It's in icon park, so prepare to wait but they do let you know how far in advance. It's worth it! read more

Yard house has been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember. Their extensive beer selection partnered with their bar vibes is a must if you're in the mood for a quick bite or a game night. While vacationing in orlando we decided to give it a try. We got a very friendly waitress. She made sure we were well taken care of at all times. The appetizers were great, but my Nashville Chicken sandwich wasn't spicy at all. While it wasn't bad, I ordered it for the spicy kick it never gave me. All the other entrees seemed to be good, I guess I just got unlucky with my dish. read more

Our lovingly loquacious barkeep Phil was quite the cheery and solicitous sort...uh: winsome waiter one might say. Well, now that I got the word of the day outta the way, it wasn't too jammed as we got here at the onset of happy hour. See my photos for how the thing works, BTW. Meantime, classic and alternative rack playing a bit noisily overhead but not deafeningly so. The big thing this joint is known for is their beer selection. Before one even bothers with bottle or can, one can select from 140 taps for some of the coldest, cleanest draft I've tasted in eons. There's an upstairs keg room housing each variety of suds so tapped. Between there and the bar is yards and yards of steel tubing housing all those pesky lines in cool close comfort... Half price app we chose was calamari. I love good calamari, and this stuff qualifies! Tender tentacles AND righteous rings offered on our bowl of pleasingly prepared, panko-breaded (my guess) molluskan mirth. The marinara married to said squid? Meh! The jalapeño tartar sauce, on the other hand, was fantastic! I feel bad for so saying as I'm old school and prefer marinara for fried squid. Queen Bee was jonesing for carne asada tacos. Phil says the tacos and nachos here are some of the best in the area too. Well if not, then send 'em back. She WAS looking at kale Caesar salad too, but I told her we can graze on the lawn for damn rabbit food. We waited a good while before ordering entrees. I was going back & forth between kurobuta pork burger and Korean BBQ cheesesteak. Phil simply asked how hungry I am...well: look at the size of me. So HE decided on the former...and of course no seasoning on the fries! Phil told me that buffet would change my world. Okay... Well it didn't, but since I ain't dead...I still found it quite delicious. Great grilled porcine pleasure, times two: ultimately unctuous undulate...okay. Yeah: poppin' piggy burger, fairly fair fries sans salt. Not too bad. QB's tacos titillated; beans better than bland but boring, believably. Rice ran round and round for freedom from flaws of flavorless fetters...I'd never order it. Would we return hither having return recourse to City Beautiful? Yes; oh, dear! read more
Came here during Happy Hour (M-F 3:00-6:00). During this time, certain apps are half price and there are deals on drinks. We arrived around 4pm on a Wednesday. Once we checked in at the door, we had a 45 minute wait. (Ugh). We walked around Icon park to kill time. There was a text link that I was sent where I could check our place in line. We eventually got the "your table is ready" text and we checked back in with the hostess. The place was slammed. We always felt in the way while we waited for the hostess to seat us. Once seated, we waited about 5 minutes or so before a server came to our table... a server that we saw chatting with a group of servers the whole time we sat there. (Didn't sit well with me but whatever.) Once she arrived, she was nice so I let it go that she didn't come over immediately. We knew what we wanted and placed both our drink order and our food order all at once: 2 orders of tenders app, a sliders app, some soft drinks and a delicious ACE pineapple cider. Unfortunately, they didn't have the onion ring tower which we ordered (something with the supplier). Boo. Those are always amazing. The cider was amazing. Food was great too. I'm sure the servers get annoyed when people come in during happy hour and only order the half priced apps but it works for us. It's a great deal. read more

This was my and my boyfriend's first time trying out Yard House. We went during an off time during the week so there was no wait and it wasn't very packed. Our server was Tabitha and she was very friendly and attentive and great at explaining the menu. They have a TON of beer options and a wide variety of food so it's pretty easy to find something you like. We also were there during happy hour which gives discounted drafts and half price apps! I ordered their honey blonde beer and my boyfriend tried their blonde pilsner. Both were really good. We got fried calamari for an appetizer. It comes with a spicy tomato sauce and a horseradish style sauce for dipping; I really enjoyed the horseradish one! For entrees, I ordered spicy jambalaya and chose linguine with it (you can also opt for white or brown rice) and my boyfriend ordered the house cheesesteak. I enjoyed the jambalaya; it had a good flavor and I enjoyed the shrimp, sausage, crawfish, and chicken in it. A few more shrimp would be good, but it was still very tasty. My boyfriend enjoyed his meal also. Overall, Yard House is a nice spot to grab a drink and a bite to eat. I'd definitely return in the future. read more

I give yard house a 10/10. Every time I come here the establishment is clean, and honestly that makes me feel good for such a busy location. The ambiance is amazing, the dim lighting, blue colors. The food every time has been served hot and correct. The drinks taste good and are strong. Yard house has become one of my favorite spots. It is a nicer restaurant. I will say it's on Idrive and the wait can be long but it is worth it. Weekdays are the best to just walk in read more

Carlito Jocson gave my dad a gift card to use for a special occasion. My father is a doorman at the Ritz Carlton Orlando and Carlito is the executive chef at Yardhouse, so they have become acquainted. We finally decided to go as a family to celebrate my dads 65th birthday! The six of us had a wonderful time. We were impressed with the dessert he got as a special birthday treat. My brother in law got a kick out of his tower of beer. As vegetarians, my sister and I love a good pretzel. Our server was really nice and patient with our group. (My dad likes to joke around). The music was a little loud and hard to hear our conversation at times. (My dad is also partially deaf). But we understood we were at a sports bar and that is the vibe. Overall, we loved it! Thanks Carlito! read more

For a chain, this a reliable go to, but the bar staff made it standout! I was in town for a conference and staying nearby. My husband and I stopped in a couple times and sat at the bar. The first night we ordered dinner - a burger for him and salad for me. Both were well prepared, but that's expected for a chain. Obviously a great beer selection with knowledgeable bar staff. Definitely a consistent and reliable option for the area. read more

Yard house is nationwide restaurant. I had Yard House for the first time in California. So glad to see them here! This is my second time at this location in the Battery and it's always been pretty good. The ambience is. It's a little bit extra dark inside. It's very open on one side of the restaurant to the outdoor space. my favorite thing about this place is their happy hours special. They have half off appetizers for the majority of what's on the menu, which made it a steal of a deal! My favorite dish is the poke nachos and the noodles. The Pokey nachos is a pretty big dish, but could be easily finished because it's very light and not so heavy. Done just right. The flavors were on point. Some pieces were a little salty, but still very good. The shiitake garlic noodles smelt delicious and tasted just as good! The noodles were cooked slightly al dente the garlic flavor shine through perfectly. My least favorite dish was the hamburger sliders. It was just so dry! There was nothing in it to make it moist. Even the cheese that was melted on top was dried out. The reason why I gave it three stars was because the service was not that wonderful. Probably because they have the tablets on each table therefore they lack personal service. You can order on your tablets, pay from your tablet, and kids can play games on there. But it takes away from you actually having much interaction with your waiter. I had to wait and ask our waiter to bring condiments like ketchup in order to eat the sliders. Which were already very dry. All in all I would still come back just for the happy hour special. read more

Hands down my absolute favorite place to go for lunch. I stop here every time I fly into Orlando. Great atmosphere. Incredible Happy Hour Deals! Clean and sleek. Well air conditioned and plenty of room. You do not feel like you are on top of your fellow diners at all. It's my first meal on every vacation. I cannot have enough of the tuna they offer here. It's fresh and delicious and so consistent. I also always have to have the spicy edamame. This is to die for. Such a good heat and garlic taste. My husband is always happy with his meals. He eats kinda like a child so it's usually chicken fingers and pizzas. Never has anything disappointed. I always sit at the bar and enjoy a nice tall beer as well. Great selection of craft beers and fancy drinks. The service is also fantastic. I love how they place a napkin down before the food is placed. Makes it feel fancy. I will definitely be back. You cannot go wrong here. I feel there is options for all taste buds. Do yourself a favor and make sure to come here when in the area. read more

I came with my family to eat at this location and I will never come back again. They make me wait over 1 hour for a burger and the burger was cold. I request the waiter to bring the manager and the manager braver came to my table. Just don't come here. Everything take forever, the food was cold. The manager didn't care. Just don't come here read more
Been here several times. It's a huge location and easy to pop in without a reservation and minimal wait despite how busy the area can be. We use to frequent this chain when we lived in Cali, and love that we can enjoy it now in Orlando. You can easily park in the Icon Orlando parking garage or the large lot behind this area. There are always spots in the garage and it has stairs or elevators that lead down to the main area. This restaurant is a short walk from the garage itself, which is super nice. They have an excellent happy hour offering, so check that out prior to heading in. Try the garlic noodles, a burger or a flatbread. The BBQ chicken flatbread is a personal fave. They obviously have a full bar and all the drinks that can come with that - and they're famous for their yard house plastic drink holder - thus the name. They are taking good measures with COVID; requiring guests and servers to wear masks, hand sanitizer on every table, and distanced table seating. Overall: A Great and easy to enjoy restaurant at ICON park. Try a flatbread and a drink! See if they are doing happy hour when you arrive! read more

Yardhouse is one of my favorite restaurants. We rushed here before happy hour ended at 6 so shout out to our sever for getting our orders in before it was over. We got the mushroom and pineapple pizza as well as the chicken tenders tossed In Buffalo with fries. They could've tossed the tenders a bit better but overall the food was great. I also tried one of their local beers the key lime cider and it was pretty good. Definitely will be back to yardhouse next time I'm in Orlando read more

On 1/18/25, my son's hockey team played in a tournament in Orlando and had a second game in Kissimmee. My family planned to stop for lunch at a halfway point in between the games, and we came across ICON Park on google. We decided to try Yard House for the first time. I then reached out to the entire team to let them know our plans in case anyone wanted to go as well. Several families agreed to meet there, so we were looking at head count of around 35 people! Knowing they don't take reservations for large parties, but not wanting to show up and bombard the staff, I gave a courtesy call at 12:45 pm letting them know our team was heading that way and would be there at 1:30. I let them know how many to expect, and that I knew we would not all be able to sit as one group of course, but it would be great to group some people together in the same area or section. The hostess told me over the phone that she would let the manager know. People from the group started arriving at around 1:20 and texted me saying they were told they could not be sat together, and not even in the same section. More families started to arrive, and at 1:35ish, a friend called to let me know that they would only sit her (group of 3) and another group of 3 at the same time, but that there was an open table right next to them that the hostess said they could probably sit us at. My family was literally in the parking garage looking for a spot, so only 5-10 minutes behind them, which my friend told the hostess. We walked over and when I got to the hostess stand, she said they had already given that table away. She said they could seat us (party of 4) on the patio, but on the complete other side of the patio that wraps around. Then I mentioned that I was the one who had called 45 minutes prior about our group, and the hostess was very cold and saying there was nothing she could do to sit us by each other. REALLY?? So the other people they just sat at the open table by our group couldn't have instead gone to the other side of the patio at the open table?? Honestly, the hostess came across as spiteful and nonchalant. Here is the best part, though: We were the ONLY people sat in the ENTIRE section we were in, aside from a couple with a baby. Yes, there were dozens of empty seats around us. I understand that thre are servers assigned to sections, but you mean to tell me there is NO WAY you could seat us anywhere near anyone from our group, or put anyone near us, when that section was empty? When we had called 45 minutes prior with the accommodation request? I'm not one to normally complain about places bc I do believe people typically do their best to be courteous and helpful, but I would have much preferred being told on the phone when I called that ZERO effort would be made for a group as opposed to her acting like she was going to talk to the manager to help us out. At least BE HONEST. So, at some point tables on the other side of the patio must have opened - I couldn't see any of them for the entire meal - but when I got up at the end to leave, I saw parts of our group had congregated at the initial section we had asked to be sat in. So while I was the one to organize the group, we sat alone in an empty section for the entire meal. When I called to give the heads up, the hostess should have said "There is nothing we can do, you will all be sat separately regardless" and we would have went elsewhere. But the fact that ZERO accommodation was attempted when they easily could have sat us next to part of our group when there had been an open table was just unbelievable. A few other people from different families also said the hostess was very rude and dismissive. Obviously I completely regretted bringing this restaurant an extra 30+ people for business after seeing how little they value their customers. The food was decent, table service was average and fine. But the hostess being passive aggressive to our entire group and isolating us from all the other people we brought there, left a lasting impression. read more
