The Yard house has been a primary meeting location for me around the valley. I'm not sure why? As I'm writing and revising I realize why. All locations have prime real estate at malls - so there is immediate availability for pre and post activities. This Scottsdale establishment has the best location I think.
Blackened Swordfish Taco and Baja Fish Tacos I recall being decent. However, I have sent back a seafood entre plate (Phoenix) - I don't think its on the menu anymore, had a bad shrimp appetizer (Scottsdale) and some of the Tacos weren't that great for me (Glendale). Burgers are ok. I have eaten here a lot and really nothing amazing unfortunately? Hmmm. Your taste may be completely different than mine. So this is not a great food review for the Yard...
Its been a good meeting place. I'm not reviewing the drinks though I've spent many hours at the bar with company. Bartenders have been decent, food service has been decent. Some people really seem to like the drink selection. Ladies have told me this is not a good date place - so just a heads up on that lol.
