The Backyard — Restaurant in Brunswick

I went to this bar with a group of friends. When I walked in my friends immediately ordered drinks and did not get Id'd. We are all of age, including myself. I went to order a drink and they immediately id'd me which is completely understandable as I do look younger than my friends, but after giving them my out of state license (I go to college here) they denied me service and accused my license of being fake. I really tried convincing them it was real because it was, but the bartender working insisted it was fake. I just turned 21 in April, but i even pulled up instagram posts from my birth proving i was 21 lol. Anyways they were really rude about the whole ordeal and the manager claimed, "he didn't run a "white table cloth establishment" whatever that means. I think he was referring to the fact that I am from California, however I didn't grow up rich and wasn't even going to buy anything off their food menu because it was too expensive. One of their waiters came up to and said "if you're 21 than i'm 21." in such a rude way. I was continually telling the bartender that I understood it was her job to ID and I was in no way upset with her, and she literally mocked me after I said that. She had also served a person who WAS UNDERRAGE AND DID NOT ID THEM LMAO. It's just not how you run a company from a customer service aspect. I think the place was cool looking and had a nice vibe, but I couldn't get over how rude both the bartenders, staff, and even manager were to me. Would only recommend if you wear a pound of makeup and look 85 or if you want to be yelled at for having a perfectly valid...

Well the ONLY reason this place is getting 3 stars is because our food was perfect. I'd tell you the name of our server but she never told us. She took our drink order and literally in the middle of me talking she walked away to grab napkins... Ok? We needed them but not right that second. Then she comes back to take our order and after 5 of the 6 of us ordered she walked away and I had to tell her she forgot someones order. She started bringing our food out and we asked whatever happened to our 2 appetizers? We were seated close enough to the food window that i was able to hear the people in the back asking where the Greek nachos were supposed to go and I wanted to yell out that they were ours but our waitress was MIA.... Well everyone except me got the entrees and the only thing the waitress said was oh let me go check but instead of checking she went behind the bar to talk to other people. There was young kid who filled oir drinks and got us silverware because again our waitress was MIA. I did get to eat the appetizers that were finally brought to us and they were excellent! The salmon dip was perfect. The Gyro nachos were so good. A friend of mine had the cajun pasta and I got to taste that and it was spicy but probably the best pasta dish I've eaten in years. Another friend got the chef steak. He asked for medium rare on the steak and it was exactly how he ordered. We will be going back but not because of the service... The food is bringing us back for sure. Management should consider training the wait staff or something... The waitress can make or break your...

the food was delicious and our server was very sweet. She also was in charge of way too many tables, which left her to not give her best service to everyone no matter how nice she was. Wings were yummy and tossed in a delicious sauce! Burger was cooked great. My complaint isnt food or the friendliness of the staff. But the lack of guidelines being followed. It's one thing that Medina county is not being required for patrons to wear masks in public, but our server wore hers improperly, under her nose and eventually took it entirely off while talking to all her tables. The tables under the tent are not six feet apart and the bar is being allowed to be completely full, with no spaces between guests who did not arrive together. The young boy bringing out food was also not wearing a mask or wore it improperly. And there was no one sanitizing tables and chairs between guests. I saw one bartender wearing her mask, but the bar was also not sanitized between guests, nor were the swings. I work in a restaurant and we have one person on staff per every dinner shift who is purely there for sanitization. We visited this restaurant often before lock down and would continue too, if we felt more safe as customers...
