| - I don't know if the Yard House at Town Center is typical of other Yard House locations... but my first impression of the one at Town Center is "Wow! The largest Bar / Sports Bar I've ever been to!" The Bar must have been forty yards long with a circular seating arrangement... that's almost a football field length of seating just to consume liquor or watch your favorite team on one of the LCD TVs. Don't feel comfortable at the "Bar"? ... well there's dimly lit table seating around the extremities of the interior of the Yard House, as well as outside seating under a covered patio.
If you're not consuming your liquor at Happy Hour here at the Yard House... you have a lot more money to spare than I do, or you're just being extravagant for no rational reason. Lindeman's Framboise at only $4.00 a glass! Raspberry Cider, also at the same price! And, the Happy Hour extends late into the night...
As for the food... specifically the Appetizers... the menu needs work...
Spicy Thai Chicken Pizza (*) First of all, it's a thin-crust Pizza.. a
negative already! Carrots, Green Onion, Cilantro, Mozzarella,
Macadamia Nuts, and Firecracker Sauce as a topping... essentially
very, very close to a Vegan Pizza. Prior apologies to all Vegans...
Yecch!
Chicken Lettuce Wrap (**** 1/2) Stir fried, smoked tofu, pine nuts and
green onions with three dipping sauces with a meat choice of either
Chicken, Tiger Shrimp, or Shiitake and Portabella Mushrooms. Very,
very good.
Onion Ring Tower (****) Beer battered and dusted with Parmesan
Cheese... served with Chipotle and Ranch Dip Sauces. And... I don't
even like Onion Rings... that's saying a lot for the perfectly made
Onion Rings!
Chicken Nachos (**) Thin, and I mean thin Tortilla Chips with Cheddar
and Jack Cheese, Tomato, Cilantro, Onions, Guacamole and spicy
whole Pinto Beans. Chips were deteriorating as we sat. Word to the
wise... consume this appetizer quickly, or it just turns into mush.
Definitely, not as good as one of the many cheap, late-night Taquerias
you can find around Las Vegas.
Fried Calamari (**** 1/2) An appetizer which I never order because most
restaurants usually over-fry the Calamari where it becomes
super-tough and chewy... but not that night when we consumed it!
Served with spicy Tomato and Tartar sauces.
Spicy Tuna Roll (**) Definitely, not a favorite at the table. Not enough
Tuna, maybe? Or it could've been the odd mixture of textures with an
almost crunchy Edamame. Seared Ahi Tuna with Avocado, Edamame,
Cucumber and Wasabi Soy Sauce.
Classic Sliders (***) Nothing special here. Four mini Burgers made from
Naturewell Natural Angus Beef served with Cheddar Cheese, House
Special Sauce, Fries and Pickle. Preparation of the Fries were better
than the Sliders!
Do you know what it takes to transport all the Liquor over to the Bar area? As I was looking around Yard House to take some pics... I noticed the shiny pipes running along the ceiling emanating from the entrance area of Yard House heading off in the direction of the Bar. There are, literally, dozens of pipes that feed liquor to the bar stored in an Orange-hued room ( http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/uxe7CbaX8_9H82ljSg2Jxw/l ) ( http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/a1UfHHYUMxC145fLbNcyLw/l ) to the left of the entrance as you walk in. Moving that much Liquor takes quite a bit of technology!
Liquor @ Happy Hour (*****)
Appetizers (***)
Dessert? Not tonight. Went back to my son's house for Guava Cake ( http://www.yelp.com/biz/akis-bakery-san-jose#hrid:NKSpkOhHHESYQkF1WN_nOg ), which I brought over from San Jose...
