The yard of ale is a older resturant which is comfortably designed from the inside and out. White linnen tablecloths provide an elegant atmosphere along with hooks which are lined up next to the tables to hang coats or sweaters. The bar area has wooden heavy tables as well as booths to sit at. It was a busy New Years Eve the evening we dined. We had to wait no more than 5 minutes for our table to be ready so we headed to the bar to order a yard of ale. I highly reccomend the dub light. It was perfect ice cold with a hint of smokiness to add to the flavor. Both the bar tender and the hostess were kind enough to help me with the yard of ale since it's large and can be awkward to carry with out spilling. Service was both promp efficient and friendly exspecially since it was an extremely busy evening and all tables were taken. Our server greeted us with a smile and started by informing us what the specials were for the evening. We started with the delicious warm hand made bread ( a nice amount) which accompanied the meal and came with 5 different dipping sauces. Ever so delicious. The appetizer of choice and one which I highly reccomed is the fried dilled spears. Once again a nice portion to share not greasy but batter coated and fried just right. The dipping sauce was a creamy pepper one which was a perfect match for the spears. I also ordered a small cup of French onion soup which was one of the best soups I've had. The broth was anything but bland instead a nice amount of onion and cheese which completed the base. Entree of choice and comes highly recommended is the Chicken Maryland. A chicken breast stuffed with crab and broccoli with the right amount of hollandaise sauce provided without making the chicken taste soggy. The outside crust added to the chicken was crispy and delicious. The garlic smashed potatoes couldn't have tasted better nice chunky potatoes with a hint of garlic. And last but least the vegetable melody which accompanied the entree was made with fresh veggies and tasted like summer. I highly recommend the yard of Ale. It will not disappoint. Thank you Yard of Ale I'm looking forward to my next visit. Check web site for hours and days the resturant is opened. Reservations a must!
