    We went for Thanksgiving Dinner, not realizing it was a buffet. The food was really quite good, but SO expensive for a Buffet- the value just was not there- $80 p/p + 30 surcharge- almost $300 with drinks? Michelin prices for Cheesecake Factory quality...makes me nervous to go back for a "real" meal.

    I went for the Thanksgiving buffet and the food was very nice. The only thing was that it felt a bit rushed. We got there at 7:30pm and we were told at 8:15pm that the buffet would close in 15 minutes so we needed to hurry up if we wanted to get dessert. For $85 per person you would've expected a little more grace time wise.

    Another great experience at The Front Yard! Though we had a later reservation, they were out of some items (oysters) and the soup was on the colder side- but everything else was spot on in the Thanksgiving Buffet!

    Front yard was wonderful way for our family to celebrate together! Beautiful ambience. Great good. The service was “good,” but they may have needed a few extra helpers to accommodate Thanksgiving crowds…the food was also delicious- but definitely on the high end! We’ll be back!👍

    The buffet sides were not hot. The brioche stuffing was dry. Broccolini was boring. The meat was fine, but for a Thanksgiving meal that costs $250 for 2 people, it should’ve been a lot better.

    Went here for their Thanksgiving meal. Arrived on time, but told they were still seating from previous reservation time. Had to wait for 15 minutes before seated. Very long complex walk to the buffet thru crowd and other tables. Glad we weren't seated at one of the tables that was part of the walkway, as they had no reprieve. First trip to buffet saw them run out of all of the seafood items. Returned later and it was adequately stocked. Somewhat strange buffet layout. Prime rib was undercooked. Stuffing was all bread. Waiter was cordial, but often had to go get our own utensils. Slapped with a 18% convenience fee, but still requested 18-20% tip, even though it was a buffet, and waiter only had to bring drinks. Do not recommend this place for holiday meals.

    The venue and service is great. The food is delicious (and a bit pricey). We did the Thanksgiving day buffet, so the crowd was expected and might not reflect the usual ambiance. We had a lovely time all around, however. A great holiday meal alternative.

    The Thanksgiving menu and service was fantastic. Our waitress, Emily, was a delight. The only distraction was our table position. Our table was very close to the host stand and in a high traffic area for the buffet (customers) and serve staff.

    The ambiance is chill yet vibrant. The grounds are beautiful. The food was very good, everything was well prepared and creative. We went for Thanksgiving buffet, the wine selection by the glass was exceptional. the food quality was top notch. Our server Sonia was amazing, she always had a smile on her face and went out of her way to make sure everyone was happy. Thank you Front Yard Team for making our thanksgiving great.

    I had a nice time at The Front Yard. The only draw back was that I asked for an outside table thinking I would be seated in the pretty outside area around te fireplace. Apparently, that area is called "The Patio". We were able to change our table and all was good.

    The decor was kinda cheesy where we sat. Nothing like the patio area or the inside left. The waiter was nice, but the service was slow. Been there three other times and this time sucked. We were sat at a bar table. Didn’t like it.

    Pretty atmosphere, nice waiters, bartender and waiters seemed a little stressed at first. Food was really good, creative and unusual. Like ahi tuna with a touch of chili paste or expresso on coconut pudding (a completely surprising taste treat). Veggie shepherds’ pie was a bit dry but still tasty (maybe needs balsamic, ketchup or worchestrrdhire sauce. ) overall GREAT experience.

    This place is cozy and romantic. Be aware. If requesting outdoor seating for a party of 6. They won’t sit you by the fireplace in the patio “seat” section. Instead they sit you in a picnic style table 😡 I was bummed since I had requested it previously. *a must to sit by fireplace outside (party 1-4) *love that they have a good wine selection as well cocktails

    We had a 11:30am lunch reservation. Arrived at 11:23am and was dismissively told by maitre d we would not be seated until 11:30am even though our party of 2 was there and nearly all the tables were open. She never even looked up from her computer screen, let alone greet us. We were not pleased but thought... ok, they are transitioning from breakfast to lunch so we let her know we'd be back in a bit and went over to The Garland gift shop. Upon return at 11:31am, she had completely forgotten my name already, which was not a big deal, but then poked on her screen for a least a minute before handing us off to someone else to walk us to our table. Never a smile nor eye contact. On a brighter note, our server, Robert, was friendly and attentive. The manager also walked around pleasantly checking on guests. The new menu item I ordered, Summer Grains, with added skirt steak, was absolutely delicious and so was my bloody mary.

    This is such a lovely place for any meal for as small as two or for a large party. The staff is great and the ambience is warm and inviting. It was a little loud the night we were there, but all-in-all I would still highly recommend this restaurant. I'm not the only one that feels this way because they are always crowded!
