GOOD FOOD CRAZY ETHICS

by kdenjohnson at Citysearch

THE YARD HOUSE EXPERIENCE: I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY ABOUT THE YARD HOUSE, BUT THE CONSTANT REQUEST FOR MY CREDIT CARD WAS KILLING ME...WHEN WE FIRST GOT THERE THE STAFF NEEDED TO HOLD MY CREDIT CARD UNTIL WE WERE SEATED, O'KAY FINE. I GOT MY CARD BACK, THEN THE STAFF CAME AND ASKED MY PARTY FOR A CREDIT CARD TO HOLD UNTIL WE FINISHED DINING AND PAID OUR BILL...MMM, LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN STIFFED BEFORE TO PUT IT MILDLY...I HAD A PARTY OF 12 PEOPLE AND WE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY, NOT TO MENTION THE GRATUITY THAT WAS ADDED ON THE BILL...SO BACK TO THE CREDIT CARD REQUESTS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE NIGHT, DIDN'T SIT WELL WITH ME...AS THE BILL WAS BEING PAID IN CASH ANOTHER WAITER CAME TO ASK TO HOLD A CREDIT CARD UNTIL THE TRANSACTION WAS COMPLETED WITH THE CASH PAYMENT, BIZZARE...WHAT WAS WITH THAT? IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY AND THEY MADE ME FEEL AS IF OUR BUSINESS WASN'T APPRECIATED...I HAD A VERY MILD-MANNERED GROUP THAT LOVE THE PLACE AND THE FOOD & DRINKS, JUST NOT THE WAY WERE BEING TREATED...HOLD A CREDIT CARD WHILE WE PROCESS YOUR CASH TRANSACTION? IT WASN'T COUNTERFEIT MONEY , I PROMISE WE ALL HAVE REALLY GOOD JOBS AND WE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY THAT NIGHT AT THE BAR AND AT THE TABLE....IT LEFT ME FEELING LIKE I WAS A SUSPECT FOR DINE AND DASH.....

This place gets very busy on Friday and Saturday nights. Expect to wait for 1-2 hours. Parking is free for the 1st 2 hours with validation, restaurant don't accomodate the long wait when it comes to parking validation--2 hours is all you get. What makes this restaurant like no other are the drink selection. Other than that its an average restaurant.

• Pros: beer selection, food variety
• Cons: crowded, parking

Crowded but fun

by gabrielahl at Citysearch

If you love beer, this is the place for you. You have to be willing to wait though, for seating, for your food, and to use the restroom. It gets seriously crowded almost every night of the week at this place. Not the place for an intimate conversation.

• Pros: trendy, great beer variety, fun
• Cons: crowded, bathroom wait, seating wait
