| - I came to the Yard on a Friday night with a fairly large party. We called ahead to make reservations, and the staff was very accomodating when I changed the number of people the day of. The dining area is small, so I recommend reservations for large parties. We arrived a little early expecting to sit at the bar for a bit, but our table was all set up.
The interior is brand new and looks really nice. I barely noticed that the restaurant is in the basement and doesn't have much natural light.
Now, on to the most important part: the food. There is a rather extensive menu of grilled cheese. I had the Yinz Guys Hungry? which comes with steak, tomato, slaw, and cheese, but I ordered it without the slaw (born and raised in Pgh, yet I don't do slaw on sandwiches). All grilled cheese sandwiches come with a side of tomato soup and fries with your choice of seasoning. Delicious. Everyone else enjoyed theirs as well.
The menu also includes brunch, a burger or two, etc. I don't drink beer, but they have a lot of it, as well as a mixed drink and dessert drink menu. I had the DJ Razzy something or other and it was also delicious.
My only gripe with the Yard is the noise level. It was crowded and the noise bounces off the walls. We had to practially shout to hear each other.
But other than that, I definitely recommend the Yard.
