    We made our reservation for indoor seating due to the weather and I easily get cold. We were sat at a table “indoor” but it was directly in front of the large set of OPEN doors to the outside section. In the outdoor area there are at least heaters, but this table had nothing other than the cold wind blowing in. They were unable to accommodate us at any other table. We chose to take our food to go and leave early. It was extremely dissapointing.
    Culinary Dropout at the Yard - TempeResponded 4 days ago
    Hello Renee, thank you for sharing your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the experience you had during your visit. We understand how frustrating it must have been to be seated near the open doors, especially after specifically requesting indoor seating. We strive to create a comfortable environment for all our guests, and we regret that we were unable to accommodate you in a more suitable location. Your feedback is valuable, and we will certainly address this issue with our team to ensure better seating arrangements in the future. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide you with a more enjoyable experience next time.

    We'll be going back, its a fun place with lots of energy and space. It was a Sunday and busy. Appetizers came fast and were very good. Breakfast entree took a long time. Waitress was very pleasant and great atmosphere. Lots of people but it didn't feel crowded. Lots of space between tables. Very open.

    Service and food was very good. Cocktails are both creative and made with fresh ingredients. I have celiac and although they do not have a gluten-free menu they can accommodate with many dishes.
