| - An evening of shopping can create quite the appetite. In a sea of restaurants big and small, we managed to stumble across a real treat. This place is nestled in Town Square between Guitar Center and Rave Movie Theatre.
Some may sleep on this gem because of its location. When you think of dining inside of a shopping area and you are not shopping, it can be a deterrent. It's no fun to push through crowds and fight for parking just for a drink or meal. Yard House sits in a class by itself and begs you to push beyond that way of thinking and here's why. Valet parking is available. There's great food choices for every palette and an extensive drink menu that's should be categorized as the winos bible.
This place is huge. But apparently, not big enough! We pushed our way through a crowd waiting for tables to the bar area. After all, why wait when you don't have to. The bar area offers the perfect view. It sots in the center of the room. It was rectangular shaped with tons of TVs and plenty of seating. Upon sitting, we were immediately greeted by Mitch. Before he could slid a coaster, I inquired about a cider on tap. To my surprise, there were at least six to choose from. Mitch did a good job of describing the makeup of each one which was very helpful. While sipping, I decided to look at the menu (while I could still see). It was huge! .... And admittedly, I am somewhat skeptical of places with tons of options. But, again, Yard House delivered. For starters, we ordered the lobster and crab dip. It was served with a sea of pita bread and chips. The dip was blended with just the right amount of cheese. Each bite was packed with lobster or crab and it was seasoned. More cheese please! I ordered the Mac n Cheese House Favorite (chicken breast and bacon filled pasta served in a mixture of cheeses). It was delicious. Too much to eat in one sitting. If you are not sharing, I would recommend the smaller portion. My compadre chose the street tacos which is served a la carte or as a meal with spicy rice and beans. Mitch pointed out they could be prepared various ways (i.e. on lettuce) and you could mix them up. We went with the pork belly taco and vegetable taco (something Rojos). Notice I said we. After reading the descriptions, we agreed it only made sense to share. Both entrees were worth seven stars easily.
I topped my evening off with a sparkling wine specialty beverage. It was infused with Chambord which happens to be one of my favorite liqueurs. If that wasn't enough, I also tried another cider. Shots out to Woodchuck for the Raspberry Cider. It was perfect. Just like the evening. Yard House, rock on!
