My wife and I took a friend who was visiting Las Vegas and staying at the Venetian to Yardbird. She's been previously and loved it. So, we set it up. Tough to get late reservations on a Friday night, so if you have time, book well in advance for prime time (6-8p). We got an 8:30 reservation and walked into a vibrant atmosphere. It's pretty lively here! Conversation was not super easy, but the vibe there is great. The food was lovely. I really enjoyed the Pork Terrine appetizer. None of us had tried that dish before. It was very tasty with the pickled cauliflower and stone ground mustard sauce. My wife RAVED about the fried chicken, which I thought was fine, but that's just not my thing. However, the Salisbury Steak was FANTASTIC! This ain't your mama's Salisbury Steak! This one is all grown up. Just order it. The Mac & Cheese was pretty good, but a little dry. The chocolate bread pudding with mini M&M's and popcorn ice cream for dessert was extraordinary! What a cool combination of flavors and not as heavy as it sounds. Great portion for two or three or one hungry person, not an obscene dessert like some places. Solid 4 star experience.
