Courtyard Restaurant

We had dinner here for the first time last night. I can’t believe we’ve been sleeping on coming here. We had an excellent evening. The food was superb, truly memorable, and the service was friendly and attentive. The patio was beautiful. It was serene but lively. We will definitely be coming back soon!

We went for the Mother's Day brunch yesterday. It was our first time in Courtyard. My 6-yr old daughter asked for a pineapple juice from the food server, unfortunately, my daughter was given an alcoholic drink. At first, my daughter has been complaining about her drink cos it taste weird and bad. So I gave the 'pineapple juice' a sip and realized that there's an alcohol mixed on the drink. I didn't scold and get mad of the lady server cos I don't want to embarrass her but somehow I was expecting her to apologize to us when she replaced the drink. She acted like something never happened. Since our table is so close to the bar, I even overheard the conversation about the drink and the bar guy told the waitress that it's not a pineapple juice but a brandy. I hope the staff will be trained on how to deal with customers even it's an accident or mistake. I understand it's not intentional but at least taking responsibility for your own action can somehow make the customers feel better. I regret that I didn't say any word yesterday, I wish I had confronted her.

I’ve never left a review for a restaurant before but I felt compelled this time because of my experience. The duck was very dry and over salted, the pasta was okay but also salty and the noodles were undercooked. The sauce they used for the noodles was more like a paste which threw off the texture even more. The service was ok considering we were a big party but overall the experience was very disappointing, especially for the price.

I put 2 stars because the staff were shy but friendly. It looks like a nice restaurant but it’s a tourist trap. Be aware. Food tastes like nothing. We were in a room with 4 other tables, no music and no heat, no ambiance. We asked for the steak and fries and steak was well done and sous-vide. We didn’thave a choice to make it medium rare. As far as we know, if you want a well done steak, do a mijoté.
