| - Whenever I go to this place, I am amazed at the crowd. There's a line from the dining room to the door and people don't mind standing there for a half hour. I don't get it. I usually end up at Simon's, Creekside or Austin's rather than wait for this place. That's not to say it is a lousy restaurant, just that it isn't my kind of place. I can't seem to find a go-to item on the menu that's worth the expense, the wait, and the hassle.
One time I had a special called, 'Mulagatawny Soup' which was one of the best soups I've ever had. I never saw it again. I've had burgers and sandwiches and salmon entrees here and none of them made me glad to have been there. The fries aren't bad but they're not worth the sat-fat they're soaked in. Too many sandwiches made with croissants.
It is worth mentioning,though, that everyone I know who has been there totally disagrees with me. To them, Courtyard is a good place worth going to fairly often. I have seen the you're-an-idiot-look more than a few times when I say I don't really like the Courtyard. I want a ten dollar hamburger to make me happy...at least for a little while...
Still, they give you amazing muffins with your meal and the Guinness is always cold and fresh. The patio is cool, too.
