Courtyard — Restaurant in Bengaluru

Courtyard-the Name holds good for our old homes when we were kids to the space In front of the home.

Typically built on this concept with synthetic wool spread on the floor,indoor games like UNO,HOUSIE,Carrom and good old music-a perfect place for a lazy Sunday brunch.

The ambience is no relaxed and peaceful. A friendly dog also was running around and small kids were having a great time here.

The Sunday Brunch is Priced at Rs 999/- plus taxes.

The menu covers a exhaustive list of options to choose from.

The Service was tardy with the Servers being lost on what they serve,what order was placed and until reminding them twice or thrice- the order never came.A bit of soft skill training for the staff would actually help.Not motivated and are so lost for the small crowd of say 15-20 pax at a time.

The Chef on priority has to be changed here with his limited culinary skill set and survival on such not-so-great food will not help this beautiful place nor get repeat patrons.

The Menu tried-

1.Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms-undercooked 2.The Courtyard Chicken Salad- perhaps one of the best have tried of late 3.Shredded Lamb in Pita- Good 4.Pizza-Smoked Chicken -One of the most edible dish on the table. 5.Pasta Alfredo-Please avoid.A shame... 6.Risotto-best not spoken

Dessert

1.Fresh Zesty Orange Cake- My personal favourite here.

Drinks

1.Water Melon Juice- Nice and refreshing

Both Cards and Cash accepted.

Pet friendly

Toilets-you start remembering your school toilets with the usual stink.

Valet Parking Available-however 3 cars only can be parked in front of restaurant and after that you have to pay and park at a parking lot somewhere near their restaurant.

Strongly feel in a nutshell,this amazing gem of a place needs a better chef on war footing basis,bit of a improvement on Service(attitude adjustment of Servers) but definitely has a lot...

We were there to attend their brunch special. 999 for brunch per person with options to select one salad, one drink, one starter and one main course and dessert. I feel there are so many better places serving better or unlimited options on brunch at lesser prices.

Ambience Ambience is airy but little unorganised. Music is not at all soothing and doesnt match to their theme. Open air and limited seatings. Pet and kid friendly options available.

Brunch

🔹Coming to beverages, very limited options out of sangria/juice/coffee that too limited to one. I ordered sangria and I think it was the most diluted and unappetising drink ever.

🔹In salads, tried the Courtyard Chicken Salad which had bits of chicken with dressing along with some kale and salad leafs. The salad had a weird after taste.

🔹In appetizers, tried the Cheese Stuffed Mushroom which was actually quite good. Juicy and good portion.

🔹In main course, I ordered the Skillet Chicken which was supposed to be barbequed chicken with sides and mash. The mash and veggies were actually good but the chicken was burnt and dry.

🔹In dessert, I tried the orange zesty cake which is a dry cake with orange zest additiom while baking. Good but not fancy.

My peers tried many different things in options available but none of them was happy with food esp risotto and white sauce pasta. The pizza was...

A couple of friends and I went for a picnic arranged by The Courtyard a few days back. They provided whatever they’d promised- the beautiful tree shade, mat, a small table & some activities to choose from. What’s most important for a picnic, though, is the place and the vibe. Something The Courtyard failed in providing. Too many in a relatively small space. There were so many mats and so many people that it felt crammed (last thing you want to feel at a picnic). We had to eat the super expensive food by a chef that was really not worth the price! Almost 500 for a little bagel sandwich is looting in daylight (under the shade of a pretty tree, of course, but that doesn’t make it alright). Also! They charge 200/- for valet parking. I read some reviews and people had complained about paying 100/- for parking. So, Courtyard went ahead and doubled the price it looks like. This felt like a seriously desperate attempt to earn some money. By the end of the “experience” it felt like Courtyard gained much more than us. And that’s never a good feeling to leave people with. I’d also ask them to consider placing fans for such day events because it can get hot. Please be more mindful and thoughtful about what you’re offering and what people are going to take...
