Editorial Review for Yard House – by Dianne Molina

The Scene
Breathtaking waterfront views take a back seat to the 110-foot oval bar that features ornate tap handles for more than 250 beers from around the globe. Steel, cement and wood accents give the place a modern industrial-chic ambience, with classic rock pumping out of the speakers and 14 television monitors peppered throughout. Large parties bring in the hustle and bustle as patrons traipse around the three main areas clutching the house specialty: beer by the yard, a 36-inch tall glass from which this hot spot takes its name. For a slower pace, relax on the spacious on-the-water patio (a.k.a. beer garden).

The Draw
Repeat offenders include sports fans, beer aficionados and a handful of tourists. Friday and Saturday nights belong to hordes of singles grabbing a leisurely cocktail before heading to the clubs.

I didn't have any food here, so I can't comment on that. However, I did order two beers, one was clearly not what I ordered and the other was flat and tasteless. The real problem was the condescending waitress who lectured me about how Fuller’s ESB and London Pride look and taste exactly the same, even after I had explained that I had a case of each at home. But to their credit, they didn’t charge me for that mistake, and I didn’t bother to mention the replacement was flat and tasteless… didn’t want to hear another lecture.

Pros: Large amounts of on-tap beer

Cons: poor quality of that beer and service

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

My favorite is their Chilean Sea Bass over steamed rice with edamame, bokchoy and soy ginger sauce, always perfectly cooked and it's very, very good. I don't really eat steaks anymore and I'd oftentimes settle for their shrimp or chicken vege bowls. The veges are always perfectly cooked and so yummy with shiitake mushrooms. For appetizers, try their Hawaiian Poke and don't forget to ask for a side of their wasabi soy. It's drizzled all around the poke but you do need more to really enjoy this dish. Sometimes I would just settle for poke and their Walnut Pear Salad for an early lunch. For dessert, try their fresh baked brownies with mint chocolate chip ice cream on top.

Pros: Food is always great, extensive selection of beer

Cons: It's considered a sports bar so it's really very noisy
