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.

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

THE YARD HOUSE EXPERIENCE: I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY ABOUT THE YARD HOUSE, BUT THE CONSTANT REQUEST FOR MY CREDIT CARD WAS KILLING ME...WHEN WE FIRST GOT THERE THE STAFF NEEDED TO HOLD MY CREDIT CARD UNTIL WE WERE SEATED, O'KAY FINE. I GOT MY CARD BACK, THEN THE STAFF CAME AND ASKED MY PARTY FOR A CREDIT CARD TO HOLD UNTIL WE FINISHED DINING AND PAID OUR BILL...MMM, LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN STIFFED BEFORE TO PUT IT MILDLY...I HAD A PARTY OF 12 PEOPLE AND WE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY, NOT TO MENTION THE GRATUITY THAT WAS ADDED ON THE BILL...SO BACK TO THE CREDIT CARD REQUESTS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE NIGHT, DIDN'T SIT WELL WITH ME...AS THE BILL WAS BEING PAID IN CASH ANOTHER WAITER CAME TO ASK TO HOLD A CREDIT CARD UNTIL THE TRANSACTION WAS COMPLETED WITH THE CASH PAYMENT, BIZZARE...WHAT WAS WITH THAT? IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY AND THEY MADE ME FEEL AS IF OUR BUSINESS WASN'T APPRECIATED...I HAD A VERY MILD-MANNERED GROUP THAT LOVE THE PLACE AND THE FOOD & DRINKS, JUST NOT THE WAY WERE BEING TREATED...HOLD A CREDIT CARD WHILE WE PROCESS YOUR CASH TRANSACTION? IT WASN'T COUNTERFEIT MONEY , I PROMISE WE ALL HAVE REALLY GOOD JOBS AND WE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY THAT NIGHT AT THE BAR AND AT THE TABLE....IT LEFT ME FEELING LIKE I WAS A SUSPECT FOR DINE AND DASH.....
