We went here on Valentine’s night. The server was very kind and even replaced our pizza when the first one came out cold, which we appreciated.
Unfortunately the pizza itself was disappointing. The crust was very flat and dense both times, almost no rise, and it didn’t taste fresh. The replacement was warmer but had the exact same texture.
The salad dressing was very basic and nothing memorable. Also the pizza came out extremely fast — good for timing, but it honestly felt like it might have been pre-prepared (not certain, just the impression).
What really didn’t make sense was the price vs quality. We paid $173 for two pizzas, a bottle of wine, one salad and three small appetizers, which felt quite high considering the food quality.

Really nice and cozy place, great service. Unfortunately when we arrived, only pizza and drinks were available. The pizza was delicious and the cocktails were too. I would like to return here and try different dishes.

The restaurant mood and service were great. The quality of food was good, but not excellent. Unfortunately, one of the poached eggs was close to hard boiled egg, and size of burrito felt little small for the price.

Hmmm, unfortunately, while the staff is friendly and the ambiance is nice, the food we received during brunch fell short.
We ordered 3 items:
– Truffle fries: Pretty good as expected but nothing to write a lot on, as this is a relatively simple and straightforward appetizer. Not bad, but not memorable, either.
– Spanish chorizo hash: the best of the 3 with a good variety of components that work together. The Spanish Pork Chorizo was rightfully front and center and paired well with the herb potatoes.
– Panuozzo: the most underwhelming dish that we ate. On paper it looked enticing, as this “Pizza Sandwich” had prosciutto, parmesan, tomato confit, aragula, and pesto sauce. Unfortunately the pesto sauce overwhelmed everything, and nothing else stood out. So rather than a symphony of taste, eating this dish became a flat and monotonous experience. I felt I was just going through the motions of eating it rather than enjoying it, and when I looked down, I still have a whole other half to finish. It’s just too one note and somewhat bland.
I may give this another shot to explore the actual dinner or lunch menu, but I’d have to really read the reviews to see what’s actually good here.

I visited this restaurant in the morning when there were many empty tables and only a handful of customers. Despite this, the hostess approached me and claimed a table was “reserved” (with no sign indicating this) and asked whether I was going to be quick. She was extremely unprofessional given how empty the restaurant was.
I’ve been here before and returned mainly for convenience, but honestly, the food is mediocre and overpriced. The kitchen is not exceptional enough to justify the prices, and when you add poor service on top of that, the experience is disappointing.
Staff training clearly needs improvement. Between the average food and the dismissive treatment, I do not recommend dining here.

Amazing interior and atmosphere. Very colorful, interesting, eye catching and vibrant. Very clean and with taste.
Food we had was very colorful and beautifully presented but flavor wise was not that impressive. Cocktail Bloody Mary was very watery.
Restaurant is located in Montana neighborhood which is very cute and vibrant area to walk and explore.

The spot is nice, you can seat outside or on their inside patio.
But, I was disappointed with the food especially my 2nd time coming here.
The food wasn’t bad – it was okay. But, the proportion was ridiculous. I got the morning bowl that looked interesting, and that small bowl was almost empty. One of the ingredients of the plate is goat cheese and I could barely see anything…
Not that I want them to fill in the plate with green salad, but even that felt pretty small.
The service was fine – nothing more.
Overall, an average spot, but that dish side really killed it for me.

I really love the vibes of The Courtyard Kitchen, although my food fell a bit short in taste. I ordered the gnocchi. Honestly, Olive Garden’s is much better in my opinion. But, the restaurant is visually pleasing, and the waitress was very amiable. Perhaps their other dishes are better…

I was in the mood so Itried the pizza. All I can tell you is, they are clueless and making a pizza Anyone that knows the process recognizes to crisp the bread With a layer of tomato sauce. Once that’s done, you add the cheese, pepperoni sausage or whatever else is your choice. Apparently, that doesn’t happen here. Nicest thing I could say is it tasted disgusting, doughy rubbery and Undercooked bread. I was so hungry I ate half of it. Took the rest out in a box and dropped it in the trashcan just north of 12th.

Be prepared for a wait as they do not take reservations, however it was very good. Chipotle Beef burger was very good, my wife ordered it without the aioli & onions as she is not a fan of those. I had the Roasted Turkey Club on toasted sourdough, it was very good. Our son had the Commoner Breakfast with the scrambled eggs and he said it was very good also. The staff was very friendly and courteous. I can highly recommend as it was a very good food and a very busy place!
