What People Say

Guests consistently praise the gorgeous views, inventive cocktails, and creative twists on comfort food like shepherd’s pie and fish & chips. Many reviews highlight the friendly and attentive staff, and the space itself is often described as “beautiful,” “chic,” and “perfect for a special night out.” The prix fixe menus are also a hit, offering good value in a high-end setting.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners note that portion sizes can lean on the smaller side, especially for the price. During peak hours, the dining room can feel a bit busy, so reservations are strongly recommended. Also, while there’s no strict dress code, it leans toward upscale casual, so it might not be the best pick if you’re coming straight from a grungy outdoor show.

The Bottom Line

queensyard hits the sweet spot for concert-goers who want a stylish, delicious meal just steps from the stage.
