| - Five stars for the great décor, ambiance, drinks, bartender, wait staff, hostess, highly attentive manager, and service. Came here for the much vaunted fried chicken. Quite disappointed really. Most fried chicken places will warn you that it will take twenty to twenty-five minutes before your order is ready. At Yardbird, it took five minutes from ordering to being served, which immediately signaled the fact that the chicken was fried in advance and kept in a warming oven. The chicken skin was soft instead of crispy as a result, like the kind you'd get at KFC. The chicken pieces were warm instead of piping hot. The french fries were limp too. For two orders of fried chicken and drinks, the bill was about one-hundred twenty dollars. Definitely over the top for mediocre, almost cold, fried chicken. I would not have minded the price as much if the fried chicken had been what it was reported to be. I recommend this restaurant but not their fried chicken.
