| - Is a beer before noon a bad idea? Not if it's a Black and Tan or a Stout Float.
Visited the new Red Rock location on a Friday for lunch. Managed to beat the Summerlin Power Lunchers in and got a nice booth off to the side.
I like the layout of this place, but was a little annoyed at the fact that if I entered via the Casino they made me walk the entire length of the place to the Street entrance hostess to get a seat.
Our waiter was super friendly and very helpful. So service was a plus.
Beer selection was awesome and I will admit the only 2 other times I have been to a Yard house was for the libations and not for food. Opted for the Stouts since it was before noon.
The place would have gotten 4 stars if the food was presented a little better. We started with the Moo Shu Egg Rolls, Poke Stack, and Spicy Tuna Roll, then shared a Lunch portion Spicy Jambalaya.
Moo Shu Egg Rolls were great, nice combination of flavors, crispy and paired great with the sauce.
The Poke Stack was far from good quality poke and our stack was more like a landslide about ready to tumble. Although hardly a poke expert, I've cut my share of fish in my life to know that poke should be bite size pieces of fish, not mangled rough chopped pieces of flesh (have some respect for your fish).
The Spicy Tuna Roll is a beautiful bounty of elegance, and tastes good too. Not your traditional roll but presented in stacked layers which works.
The lunch portion of the Jambalaya only had 2 shrimp in it, and if that is their idea of blackened, someone better find their spice peddler because they are getting ripped in believing they are delivering a good creole dish when all they are serving up is some shrimp with tomato sauce over some rice.
Overall a good place for some drinks and a good time but I will definitely be trying some other dishes.
