A group of friends and I chose The Courtyard based on the Citysearch reviews... and we were all HIGHLY disappointed. The atmosphere is nice... it's a cute place... and the parking is free... but the most important aspect of all (THE FOOD) was horrible. We ordered a large variety of things, and didn't like any of them. Nothing seemed to have any seasoning whatsoever. We had mushrooms, beef empanadas, crispy fried shrimp, steak a la pobre, seafood paella, chicken paella, spanish tortilla.... NOTHING was good. Oh, correction.. the one thing that was good was the french fries, which is pretty pathetic at a tapas joint.
Plus, the sangria seemed to have canned fruit with wine poured over it... just not the level of food or drink that I was expecting based on the reviews... so be weary. Trust me on this.
I do not recommend The Courtyard until they step up the food. Right now, I'd give it Zero stars if that was an option.
