| - So, after seeing and hearing about all these rave reviews, I decided I had to try Yardbird on my most recent visit to Vegas.
We came in for brunch, and had a pleasant experience - But, maybe I just can not differentiate REALLY GOOD Southern cuisine and just... good... southern cuisine. I had some fried chicken, which was good, but I've had better.
The eggs served with said brunch were good, but I had a better product from Bouchon the day before. So, not sure if that's really fair. I also found the gravy to be kind of bland and creamy smooth - Is that the point of white gravy? I prefer sodium bombed (salty. flavorful) gravy, ladened chunks of breakfast sausage. The gravy wasn't awful, but it was not awe inspiring to me.
I quite enjoyed the biscuits that were served, and, again, I'm no connoisseur of biscuits in general, but my dining companion informed me that they were mythical. So, there's that to be said.
We did enjoy some wonderful service, and the decor is pretty rad.
I would return, but I'm just not in any hurry. particularly at the Vegas price point. 3 stars is not meant to be an insult. This time, it probably means I need to get an education in Southern food.
