This was my first time dining at the yard house aside from a party that a friend of mine had there when they first opened. It was an excellent experience. I was there with a party of six and with dinner and significant drinks the total came to nearly $300. That includes three appetizers. We started with hummus, calamari, and crispy brussels sprouts. Their pomegranate margaritas go down smooth-maybe a little too smooth! And the vodka refreshers were very much appreciated by the ladies at our table. Our server, Otto, was on point. It's not often you get a server who really just impresses you with their friendliness and great information about the menu. He was all that. At our table we had the coconut shrimp, The grown-up grilled cheese and soup, and the lobster garlic noodles. It was all amazing. I love that I could call ahead at 5 o'clock and put in not a reservation, but at least call and seating to make sure that we had a table relatively quickly when we arrived at 6 o'clock. I appreciate when restaurant to do this, and especially when it works the way it supposed to, as it did here. I highly recommend that you take advantage of that service as well.
