    This is a small but mighty diner! The service was friendly and prompt. There's a varied menu with something for everyone.

    Food order was presented well and timely. It was fresh and delicious. This restaurant is new and work in progress. Staff were great.

    very nice and talkative and keep you know about what's happening…read more the best in Detriot!!!

    I'll start off by saying i've been to the Yard of Ale maybe a handful of times in my life but it…read morewas once operated by one of my ancestors, J.D. McGuire, in the 1800s when it was the Genesee Hotel - this restaurant has about a century and a half of history in the area and deserves to be classified as an historic landmark. It is also one my grandmother's favorite restaurants, and she's eaten there for decades. Last night, she turned 95 and we put the old YoA to the test, booking a dinner party for roughly 20 people, in the restaurant's private room. Our waitress was absolutely on her game, getting orders for drinks, appetizers, meals and dessert out as promptly as she could given the size of our party with no mistakes or fumbling of people's orders. I ordered the stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer and the Tournados (steak fillets with seafood stuffing and hollandaise sauce) with rice pilaf as my main course, and both were delicious. The kitchen will do steak all the way down to rare but won't serve it blue, probably for safety reasons since they're not a dedicated steakhouse. For dinner I got the NY cheesecake with wild strawberries and sauce, and it was wonderful. A five course meal (bread, appetizer, salad, main, dessert) plus drinks cost me a little shy of $90, so I thought the price was more than fair. The wine list is limited (I asked for a dry white wine and got a choice between a sauvignon blanc and a pinot grigio. I went with the blanc and it was light, crisp, and delicious with a lot of pear notes - a good choice on the part of whoever on the YoA's staff handles sommelier duty. I didn't get a chance to ask the waitress for a snapshot of the bottle and I wish I had. For a cocktail, I ordered an old fashioned, and this is the kind of place where you can go up to the bar and order a cocktail like that and the bartender won't bat an eye before getting out the muddler. If it's your birthday, be sure to tell the waitress - I believe that they give you a free lava cake dessert for your birthday. If you order a dish like the chicken parm here the portion they serve you will be massive - two or three breaded chicken cutlets covered with mozz over pasta and sauce. This is not a restaurant that does haute cuisine portions; the old roadside inn sensibilities remain in place in places like the YoA, you expect to be fed and feed you they will. Now that I've said all that, remember, de gustibus - but if you're visiting Letchworth Park or otherwise out in Livingston County I recommend you call and book a table. And you should absolutely call ahead, the locals tend to pack the place.

    Sigh :( I love Aunt Cookies. A staple of my childhood. But wow their staff needs some anger…read moremanagement classes. Lil' miss frumpy sub maker lady did not wake up on the right side of the bed today. When I asked if I would receive a text when my to-go order was ready, the response was "where do you think you are New York City?" in a tone that was more hostile than all the burroughs combined. But I knew exactly where I was and my tone and question did not deserve a response like this. Frumpy sub maker lady continued to dish out her rudeness saying that we were wasting her time for asking questions and sarcastically gave back the tip we had given. My tone never shifted from start to finish, even after calling out the poor service. I do not like to call out establishments, especially local businesses, but holy shit she was rude. Probably the rudest food service experience I've ever had. Best sub rolls in upstate ny though...that will always be true. It is always a choice to be an asshole. If frumpy sub maker lady reads this -- it is ALWAYS a choice. Choose kindness, my dear :) Just because your day is ruined by having to make a few subs, it doesn't mean you have to try to ruin someone else's day.

    Sadly, we left with a bad taste and no food. Went in about 20 mins after they opened and were told…read moreit would be about 30 minutes before they could make 1 sub for us. The 2 guys were "doing the best they could" with 5 online orders which they chose to put before the only customers in the store. Not sure when online orders became priority over in-person customers? Won't be going back until the customer service is restored to what we remember, likely when it comes under new ownership. Used to be such a good place for food!
