Food is good but food comes out in any order so had a large main before a starter. Gluten free available but the GF tortillas didn’t come with the rest of the tacos and we had to chase. Whilst they note on menu that food comes as ready when it is a dietary requirement has to come at the same time as the rest of the food given it is all share food. Just not good enough and ruins the otherwise good food
The Yard BrightResponded on November 12, 2024
Hi Andrea. Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed our food. As you mention in your review, we do state that food will come out as and when it's ready as our menu is share style consisting of smaller and larger items. When we have dishes that have dietary requirements it not always possible to bring out the same time due to needing to use separate preparation utensils / cooking & our kitchen space is on the smaller size. We apologise that the gluten free tortillas did not come out when you expected them to, but we are glad you enjoyed your meal otherwise. We hope to see you back on another occasion. The Yard Team.

Delicious, relaxed, Mexican style dining with fabulous margaritas. Loved dining outside on Melbourne Cup weekend with our two dogs and relaxing in the bean bags on the grass after our meal.
The Yard BrightResponded on November 12, 2024
Hi Jenny. Thank you for giving us your feedback after dining with us over the Cup weekend enjoying our food & cocktails. We are lucky to have such a great spot with undercover and a funky outdoor space to watch the world go by. We hope to host you and your dogs again when next in the area. The Yard Team.

Very small serving size of meals, left still hungry after spending almost $100 on food and drinks. Have to order via table QR code when there is no reception but the waitress couldn’t just take our order instead. A lot of other very good dinner options in town offer better value and experience which we have been to in the past. Won’t be back or recommend to others.
The Yard BrightResponded on April 11, 2024
Hi There. We are disappointed to see you have left us 2 stars. We always aim to keep our prices reasonable and in line with other operators in the area. The cost of all goods and services has risen for everyone in recent times so dining out does cost a little more than it used to. Our menu is designed consisting of smaller and larger dishes, so to be shared or for few dishes to be ordered to enjoy a little of everything. We are more than happy to take table orders if there are issues with guests using their phones, but this would lead to longer wait time -our apologies if this was misunderstood by our staff on the night. QR code ordering allows for faster service for our diners with limited staff. We hope you'll reconsider and dine with us again in the future. Thank you. The Yard Team.

We enjoyed the food, corn, cauliflower, chicken & pork tacos plus the plentiful chips. Minor downside the insects hovering, told we should have asked for the aero guard, maybe it could have been offered.
The Yard BrightResponded on April 11, 2024
Hi Bev. Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your meal with us, noting some of our dishes that we also really love! One of the drawbacks of having a semi outside venue is on occasion the insects - we do have insect repellent available for diners use, so we will ensure our team knows to offer this out to guests in future. We hope to host you again when next in Bright! The Yard Team.
