The Yard has everything you want from a dinning experience. It has an upscale trendy vibe, good customer service, unique drinks, live entertainment, and probably what you came for which is the huge open air patio space.
An example of a night: First thing before you get there is expect a wait as it usually is pretty packed during the weekend. Also the parking lot is valet only. There are three restaurants at this location. I have ate at culinary dropout (for a different review) but not at either of the other two. We came for drinks so got a drink menu and there are a lot of unique choice. Tried a couple and all where very good. There was a live band that was playing on a Friday night so that was pretty cool. Afterwards you can go back to the front and exchange your ID for some ping pong paddles or cornhole. There was a slight wait time for games/tables but nothing terrible. It was surprisingly very clean on the patio and everyone seemed to having a fun time. No one was super serious or obnoxious and was a fun time. Recommend for trips out with friends or coworkers to unwind and play some games and have a couple drinks. Will come back.
