Northern Virginia Magazine heaped praise upon the menu, including the doro wat stew—the national dish of Ethiopia—which includes chicken, red pepper, garlic, and hard-boiled eggs. Many of Meaza’s dishes are flavored with purified, spiced Ethiopian butter, from the ye beg kikil—lamb stew in spicy sauce—to the kifto—ground beef traditionally served raw or rare and mixed with cardamom and a mitmita spice blend.

    Starters: Both the raw (Back Bay) and grilled oysters (we chose the chimichurri sauce) were outstanding! Perfect salinity, quite generous in size. I had steamed mussels in cider- the mussels were plentiful and tasty, but I found the cider/caramelized onions/ bacon broth to be understated at best. It comes with two large grilled pieces of bread. My husband had the generous and delicious grilled lobster cheese sandwich with sweet potato fries. Others in our party enjoyed the crab cake sandwich (delicious) and the regular steamed mussels (which I wish I’d gotten). All in all, a shellfish paradise.

    We visited this restaurant after it was highly recommended, our waiter started off very nice but forgot to put our food order in and we watched everyone around us that came in after, receive their food. He apologized but it was a long wait. The food did not disappoint.

    Oh my god. I was hesitant to go here at first because of a few negative reviews I read. But, I went and let me tell you, I’ll be going back. From start to finish, everything & everybody was fantastic. The food was delish; came out fast and it was hot; the waitress was attentive and friendly; the ambiance was 100. Can’t say enough good things about YardBird. I’m just glad i didn’t base my experience off of other reviews. Go! You won’t regret it.
