For starters, I absolutely LOVE the concept/vibe of The Yard-- outdoor games (ping pong, corn hole) and seating with food from Culinary Dropout?! So good. Some reviewers below me have mentioned that the service at the yard was pretty meh-- my group didn't notice any issue with that! We had a couple of servers who were around very regularly, and some people ordered food.
The reasons why The Yard gets three stars from me are: (1) it's always PACKED on weekend nights. Sometimes it feels like you're actually cattle in barn, not on a cool patio, and (2) there doesn't seem to be any system for the games, other than that you have to check out the equipment from the host. My group was there for 2.5 hours last night and no one got a chance to play any games! Pretty lame.
