Sentiment analysis: I went to The Yard last night with a group of 30 - 40 people celebrating a birthday. It is a great venue for a large group gathering of this size. However, the bar and restaurant part are too small for the crowd. They need to reduce the game side and allow more seating. The band and piped in music was too loud and pretty much impossible to talk to anyone including those setting next to me. Unfortunately, I did not read some of the Yelp posts before going to The Yard. We tried to order food and it took an hour before a server ever came by. I tried to order from the bar ans was told they do not sell hot food at the bar. Finally, we waved down the server after 75 minutes of waiting. We ordered and the server took my credit card. I had the gnawing feeling that this was a mistake. The food finally came after 45 minutes waiting. I will say that the food was very good. We ordered the cheap salad and fish and chips. Well, another 30 minutes go by and the server does not bring the check or my credit card back. So, we track down the server and ask for the check. Another 30 minutes go by before she brings the check out. Some of friends waited over an hour and still did not have their food when we left.

Sentiment analysis: My favorite haunt on lazy weekends. Luke's lobster bisque is the best I've had. Monterey, Carmel, La Jolla, Fishermans Wharf San Fran, etcetera. Yet somehow a fisherman in Pittsburgh has the best....by far. Not to sell Luke short, the entire menu here is spot on. The staff are happy and friendly. Brian is especially good. A server with friendly attitude and remembers your drink. Solid all around joint in the Strip. Highly recommend.

Sentiment analysis: I ordered the french onion soup, 12oz strip steak med-rare with mushrooms/onions and extra broccoli. The steak was almost flavorless, the broccoli was waaay overcooked and yet somehow served cold, and the french onion soup tasted like beef bullion with extra salt. I had a 25$ giftcard so I paid $1.62 and I still feel ripped off. When my son brings home those flyers from school where applebees donates a percentage of your bill to the school... I'm going to give his teacher 10$ and stay home for dinner.
