| - My husband and I stopped here on Saturday night around 10:30 p.m. after bowling for our date night, and we were so disappointed. I have heard lots of great things about Yard House, so I was excited to try it out.
When we first entered the restaurant, we were struck by the ambiance inside. It's beautifully decorated and well-maintained. The hostess was nice, and asked us if we preferred to sit inside or outside on the patio. We opted for the patio since it was a beautiful night. We walked around to our spot and about 10 minutes went by before we were greeted by our waitress. She advised us that she wasn't supposed to be given any more tables so she could go home, so we were her last. It made us feel awkward and rushed.
We put in our order quickly, which was pretty disappointing because we didn't get a chance to really review the drink and menu offerings. I was interested in trying a yummy cocktail, but I didn't get time to review the menu and I was afraid to ask questions lest the waitress need to stay around and waste time. So, I just ordered a Coke. My husband was going to try a few new beers, but just went with Newcastle. At least it was on tap!
We ordered the California Roll, which is actually just a large "cake" of sushi. It was supposed to be fancy, but in my opinion was lame and the staff should let people know that it's not your typical roll. Also, we ordered it without the wasabi soy sauce, and, naturally, it was doused with it. I also ordered the chopped salad, which, unfortunately, was covered in a disgusting dressing that I later found out was "bloody mary vinaigrette." This was missing from the menu description. When the waitress noticed I hadn't eaten much of the salad, she asked if I liked it and I told her "No, the dressing is too harsh and the flavors don't work well together for me." She replied that it was one of her favorite things on the menu and shrugged her shoulders. Sigh. I had hoped maybe she would offer to have it remade without the dressing, or something. But, she was busy waiting for us to get the heck out of there, so, that was a $10 waste of money and food.
Dinner was a bit better. I had a margherita pizza, which, admittedly, is pretty difficult to screw up. My husband had some orange chicken, which he said was decent enough. I had eaten 2 pieces of pizza when the waitress came around and asked if I need a box. Almost like: Can you please go home now? After she brought the box, she left the check and said: "No rush." Which literally made me laugh out loud.
We paid for the entire meal and left, in quite a disappointed fashion. I will not be going back. I would've been happier going to Roberto's!
