Yardbird Table & Bar

Went for my birthday. Everything was great ( chicken, braised short ribs). But the deviled eggs were not. Dill and salt were the dominant taste. No sweetness at all. Very pretty presentation but it's a no on the taste. Not traditional. The fried green tomatoes were good and I HATE ALL TOMATOES but these I would eat again. The place is gorgeous. We sat upstairs. There is a beautiful private eating area for 2 people elevated by itself. Overall great place and will be back

The food was fantastic. The atmosphere elegante but homey. But what really made this place pop was the service! From the drinks provided by the bar, our water glasses were never empty, the staff even at the end of a long day seemed genuinely glad to have us there. Our server Jennifer was FANTASTIC! A true gem. Everytime we come back to Chicago we will be asking to sit at Jennifer's tables.

After reading all the stellar reviews on the OpenTable app we went for Brunch on Easter and ordered the eggs Benedict and shrimp and grits. Food lacked salt, flavor and was cold in temperature. We ordered the shrimp and grits because the waiter said “Our shrimp and grits are what we’re known for! They’re award-winning!” Only to be WILDLY disappointed by the total lack of flavor and extremely small portion size. The grits were about the size of an ice cream scoop and there were 4 large shrimp….for nearly $30. The Eggs Benedict came with 2 bricks of hash browns that tasted like nothing sprinkled with nothing. These were also very cold. There were no parts of the meal my partner and I could truly say we enjoyed. Furthermore, we were given an Easter egg upon arrival that contained a card that stated “Complimentary dessert… valid through April 28”. We tried to redeem it but we were told it’s only valid upon our NEXT visit. GREAT -_- . Our waiter was lack luster and we had to awkwardly request a table change 3xs after the host repeatedly chose seating options that were exactly the opposite of my request (not by the front door because it’s cold). This place looks good on Instagram but certainly not worth the $100 visit.
