Everything was fine except it took a long time to get our food after ordering. The place was not busy, which made the wait unusual…the manager was very accommodating in moving a heat lamp near our table.

The Buttermilk Drop biscuits were delicious, hot and just the right amount of crumble. They were followed by chicken and waffles which were “unfortunately” so delicious that we finished it all. The portions are large enough for 2 people to share, so I guess I don’t feel too guilty. The service, which has been written about many times was wonderful as always. Felicia was our server and actually remembered us from a previous visit. She was cheery and very attentive. Brandon stopped by the table to check that everything was to our liking and wish us a happy New Year.

Was a pleasure to return back to Yardbird for brunch and share the experience with my lovely lady. The food was delicious as always and ordered more than we could actually eat as the menu is so good! Deviled eggs, chicken biscuit sliders, huevos rancheros, hash browns and beignets were fabulous just like the service. We’ll be back again next time we’re in Miami!
