| - Wow, everything about Yardbird Southern Table & Bar was above and beyond. We were greeted immediately as we entered the restaurant, everyone had a smile on their face. We were led to our table right away and we loved the atmosphere already. The environment had a rustic vibe with a hint of modernism. It didn't feel like we were inside a hotel at all. The server took the time to explain thoroughly what Yardbird is known for as we told her it was our first time there. We ordered the biscuit and gravy, as well as the chicken 'n' watermelon 'n' waffles to share between the three of us. For drinks we ordered peach mimosa, strawberry mimosa, and southern peach.
The food arrived very quickly, even before our drinks. The server explained the dishes to us once more and provided hot sauce for the chicken and bourbon maple syrup for the waffles. We were super excited to eat. The chicken was just delicious, it was juicy and so tender. I had no problem cutting the meat with my knife, it was also soft enough to cut with your fork. It tasted great even on its own without any hot sauce. If you like spicy, the hot sauce added a nice kick to the chicken. The waffle were not just any regular plain waffle, but a cheddar waffle. You could really taste the cheese so you know they didn't hold back on the ingredients. The syrup definitely enhanced the flavour of the waffle. The chilled spiced watermelon was new to me. It had a very interesting taste to it as I wasn't used to watermelon being savoury. It was refreshing too but I preferred my sweet watermelon.
The gravy and biscuit was great comfort food. I liked how the gravy was not too salty and it didn't overpower the flavour of the chicken. The biscuits were so soft and flakey, it was perfect to absorb all the gravy and egg yolk. The poached eggs just tied everything together. Everything was perfect with the chicken and it was filling too.
I wasn't too fond of my Southern Peach as I thought the alcohol was too strong for me and the peach flavour was lacking. However, I liked the strawberry mimosa when I tried it, it had the perfect balance. It was more enjoyable than the Southern Peach.
Service was above and beyond, right from the moment we entered to when we left. As mentioned above, the server explained their menu to us. She returned after to make sure everything was good at our table. Besides that, two managers or customer service reps, dropped by at different times to check up on us. And that is how you get returning customers, service was truly excellent. If you are in Vegas, you have to visit Yardbird Southern Table & Bar.
