Royshawn Sessum My wife, daughter, and I visited on a Friday night for happy hour. We were pleasantly surprised by how spacious the restaurant was, with plenty of seating available. We were seated upstairs, which was perfect since we had our toddler with us. We ordered a tequila mule, house wine, Thai shrimp, BBQ chicken flatbread, tacos, truffle fries, and mac and cheese for our daughter. Everything was really good, but the Thai shrimp was our absolute favorite! Our server was friendly, timely, and very welcoming. We also loved the portion sizes for the price — great value for happy hour. We’ll definitely be coming back!

MsE Curtis The Yard offers a wide selection of appetizers, entrees, and beer. We had the chicken nachos as an appetizer, which was a large amount and very delicious. We ordered the Mediterranean Salmon, it was slightly over cooked, but still good. Nashville hot chicken sandwich with fries, and the BLT sandwich, which originally arrived with bacon that was pretty much raw. They made the sandwich again and it was perfect the second time. Perfect place to catch a game and our server Emma was great!

Food Gala Food was amazing from the salad, to pasta, to pizza! We got the Antipasto Salad, Alfredo Pasta, as well as Veggie pizza. The service was great even though it was busy. We did have to wait for a table but no more than 10 mins. We even had left overs and there were 5 of us.

Veronica Bridges G is an amazing bartender! I’ve gone for happy hour when I’m not staying at the hotel. Best drinks if you’re in the Troy area.

Annie Chen Seasons 52 was amazing! I ordered the Wood-Grilled Tenderloin Salad and the Golden Beet & Goat Cheese Salad — both super fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. The beets were tender and sweet, the goat cheese added the perfect tang, and the tenderloin in the salad was cooked perfectly. The service was genuinely fantastic. Our server was warm and attentive, and the manager checked in on our table — truly a 10/10 experience. The ambiance is also gorgeous: cozy booths, soft lighting, greenery, and a relaxed but elevated vibe. Highly recommend for lunch or dinner if you want great food and even better service!

Tony Deck Never been here before. Stopped in for a quick breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. Was seated politely and quickly. Waitress Stephanie was very nice and food came out very quickly. Atmosphere was nice. Food was delicious!

C ETHERLY I experienced the Greek skillet and it was delightful. Loaded with turkey sausage and veggies. My kiddo experienced the Mickey Mouse pancakes and enjoyed the meal. The service was warm, friendly and accommodating.

Kevin C Great tacos and very generous portions! Definitely will come back. Very friendly staff too. Was surprised it was in a mall, but genuinely does not take away from the experience or food

Ree Cc Donkatsu was delicious, both the meat and sauce. But, the curry katsu meat came out a bit on the burnt sign. The food could come out a bit warmer. The sweet and sour pork was amazing, crispy and the sauce was the best I’ve ever had!

JL (BeyondBookends) Pretty authentic Taiwanese dishes and bubble teas in a fast casual setting (most dishes were disposable). You can order at counter or via kiosk but everything took a while to arrive. Dishes were tasty though and unbelievably affordable (noodles without protein were about $7 and most dishes with protein were $10-15 range) and you can get a combo meal that comes with a drink. Will go back again and try the Taiwanese popcorn chicken and other noodles/rice bowls. If you are a manga fan there are manga you can read while you wait for your food!

ASH Interactive Met up with some old friends at Firebird recently & had an amazing experience. The food, drinks and folks working there were all great & the look and feel of the place was great. It was a nice night for enjoying the outdoor seating and the wait staff was friendly and did a good job of reading our group and gave is plenty of time to chat and make or order choices. The fish tacos were outstanding. Will be back for sure!

Umer Haider I came here with my fiancé and we had a wonderful experience dining at this location. The atmosphere felt warm and inviting from the moment we walked in. The staff greeted us kindly and made sure we were seated comfortably. Our server was attentive, friendly, and checked on us throughout the meal without making us feel rushed. It honestly felt like they genuinely cared that we were enjoying our time. The food was delicious and full of flavor. The pasta dishes were cooked perfectly and the portions were very generous. We especially loved the warm bread served with the olive oil and herb mixture, it was simple but extremely good and something we kept going back to throughout the meal. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared, and you could tell that care was put into the seasoning and presentation. The restaurant itself was clean and had a relaxing environment, making it a really enjoyable place to sit and talk. It was a comfortable and stress free dining experience which is exactly what we appreciated. We left feeling satisfied and happy with the service and the food. Overall, this is definitely a place we would return to. The quality of the meal and the hospitality from the staff made our visit memorable. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for great Italian food with a welcoming atmosphere.
