Love they view from here, and being on the water is nice. Large space and tables are not on top of you. However, the food is basic bar food, and while not horrible, it isn’t anything special. The cheese curds were served with a raspberry sauce, which seemed out of place but tasted okay. The chicken in the wraps, while plentiful, was dry. Fries were good, and beer options were good. Drink choices seemed nice, but they didn’t taste like much alcohol was in them.

I give the Yardarm five stars for atmosphere because we ate on the deck on a beautiful summer day. Great views of bridges over the Mississippi River, boats on the river, bluffs on the east side. Food was really good pub grub! Creative and yummy drinks.

We sat on the patio overlooking the river and it was beautiful. The food was excellent. I got the Philly and it was good. I wish I had gotten the fish and chips just because it looked so good. My parents complained that the fish Tacos didn’t have enough fish. I think the fries were better than the chips but that’s not really a criticism. We enjoyed our time. The beer menu is small but again, that’s just an observation not a complaint. Some of the reviews worried me that the food was not good but we liked it.

Adorable restaurant/bar by the river. Had the shrimp tacos and were very good. Staff was welcoming and polite, while the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

Wonderful staff, very attentive. The shrimp skewers were very good! The quesadillas were not that great, just cheese and chicken. We loved the outdoor patio and the fact that it was covered kept us out of the sun.

Jordan was a great server. Cardboard boat races were happening, it was a nice afternoon on the patio.

Nice location on the water. We were greeted warmly and seated right away. Took about 15 minutes for our server to finally come to our table, which was mildly irritating. After that everything went fairly smoothly. Food (shrimp skewer, tacos, chicken wrap) all really good. Fun time and great setting.

When the wife says “best mushroom and swiss burger I’ve ever had”, you have to leave a review! Awesome spot st the marina for live music as well.
