Thought foodies might like to see the updated menu as of 4/5/24 so there will not be any surprises from the previous posted menu.

First and foremost, the service at this place is second to none, imo. Been twice over three last 3 months and had two different female servers. Both servers were excellent! The ambiance is awesome as well. One of the last old-school places still around. Tons of history and character in there. Romantic, charming place as well.
The complaint I have is with the price of the specials. Last nite my g-friend ordered the red snapper special. I didn't even ask for the price when she ordered, because that question always insulates, 'you cheapskate'. We got the bill and her fish was $55?! I cldn't believe it. Here we are, steps from the bay/ocean, where the snapper is readily caught and available, and they wanna charge $55. No way....
We go to New Orleans often, considered by many as the top seafood town in the US. The highest rated restaurant in NO, Commanders Palace, dsn't charge more than $40 for any of their fish dishes. Neither does Clancy's, another NO institution. Therefore, neither should Yardarm. Shame on them for that..(And btw, the red snapper special was just ok).
That said, the shrimp Dejonge at Yardarm is such an interesting, incredible dish imo. The homemade crab cakes are great as well. I will def go back just for those.
Therefore I wld recommend this restaurant, but my advice is to not order the specials.

This was my first time coming here and I wanted good seafood. Let me tell you this is an amazing place. So much food and it was the best pecan crusted snapper I have ever had! Amazing!

We had reservations for six for a birthday gathering. Food was excellent, I had the Salmon and several had the Pecan crusted snapper. This was my first time and we will definitely go back. Service was excellent!!

I am incredibly disappointed with this place. After much excitement having read the reviews online, we tried to go last week. We called and made a reservation for 5:30 for 4 people but ended up running a little late. We called to see if we could push the reservation by 30 minutes and the hostess on the phone actually said "Jesus, try to make it by 5:30!" Not off to a good start but we hurried and arrived by 5:42. Upon arrival the place was empty. The hostess (elderly woman, very grumpy and unpleasant) refused to sit us anywhere in the place other than next to the kitchen. She was so rude that we ended up leaving without even sitting down. Given that we live within walking distance, congratulations on losing customers and possibly ongoing business. If she leaves, we will be back, but for the time being it is impossible to support and establishment with such poor customer service.
