We had a wonderful experience! The staff was welcoming, the Brussels sprouts were fantastic, and my enchilada was out of this world! We will absolutely be back.

Always great service with a fun local vibe. Had a new dish last night, Char Siu with Kimchi Fried Rice. Outstanding. And their maple manhattans are my favorite.

Cute place but it stank! Don’t know what is going on but you can smell everything going on in the kitchen.
Service wasn’t great
Cocktails were straight up bad. How the hell do you screw up alcohol?!?!
Pulled pork was gross. Steak, bad cut and overpriced. Only positive the guacamole and chips .

Amazing atmosphere that made the meal feel special, what a neat location with exceptional food, the mole enchiladas were amazing and it was a great place to eat at on a winter evening.

Backyard Bistro helped us have the most wonderful evening for our company
Christmas party! From start to finish Jill and her team did everything exceptionally well. They came in set up tables and chairs helped with table scapes and had all the apps drinks and amazing food ready. The apps and braised short ribs, mash and vegetables were delicious. It was so amazing to not have worry about anything and know that the food would be amazing. They quietly worked in the background ground the whole evening so that we could enjoy and celebrate our work family. Then cleaned up all the dishes to boot! Could not recommend them more. Will definitely be using them again!

Stopped at Backyard bistro with my family w/out reservation or expectations. We were seated at a nice table and the food and service were excellent. Well balanced menu. There is a nice area out back for children to play.

We were really excited to get a seat at the bar last minute. When we were finishing dinner, someone I presume in charge began to yell at one of the servers. It definitely put a damper on our dinner. I was very disappointed in the lack of professionalism I saw. We will think again before coming back and supporting a business that treats their staff that way.

We always get the Brussel sprouts and have always been impressed. The cost/value ratio is inline with the quality of the product. Highly recommend.

What a strange experience. We reserved a table in “main room” and once we arrived with my blind (and physically limited mom) and my 86 year old dad we were told we had to sit at a high top with chairs that have to back and where my mom’s feet didn’t even touch the foot bar (by the time we were done eating her legs were numb and her back hurt more than it does on a normal day). The food was generally ok, but the side dishes were undercooked (carrots) and the mashed potatoes were so salty they were inedible (for one of us, the other person’s was ok). It took 15 mins for new mashed potatoes and by then everyone was done. Overall disappointing, especially given the expensive prices.

We really wanted to love it here but it mostly missed the mark. my husband and I both ordered smash burgers and were very disappointed. they were INCREDIBLY dry. we both asked for extra special sauce just to slather on some moisture. the fries and caesar salad were fine. the smoked manhattan was quite good and the creme brûlée was delicious - the highlight of the meal.

Last time I went there, I paid ~$35 for a still partially frozen lobster roll. Mediocre foods and service. If you’re looking for a predominantly white people restaurant where you overpay for partly underprepared food, this is the place.

Excellent food and drink. I had chicken Marsala which was delicious. Chicken was tender and juicy with just the right amount of sauce. Veggies were perfect. My wife had the gourmet Mac and cheese which has delicious BBQ meat and mouth-watering blend of cheese and pasta. The one detraction was a slight odor of mildewed plastic in the backyard tent. Wife could not smell it, but it was a little off-putting to me. Cocktail was high-end. All in all a pleasant evening. We were glad they could serve us without a reservation.
