Yard House

Everything was perfect. The hostess at the door was pleasant.
Our waiter was so attentive, funny, and sweet that we cashed out a little early just to make sure he got his tip from us before his shift ended. The atmosphere was very chill and mature, with dim (but no too dim) lighting and a lot of dark wood, which I *loved*.
Saw a few families at a couple of the booths and a few groups of guys having a Guy's Night drinking beer and watching College Basketball on a couple of the t.vs.
But somehow you still feel like you're in your own little bubble even if you're in the middle of the floor. The drinks were beautiful and tasted *amazing*!♡ My bestie wanted to visit Yard House on our Food Adventures in order to try their beer selections and I wanted to try their drinks.
Neither of us actually looked at the food options until an hour or so after we got there.
^^; But we were happily surprised once we received our food orders, as the food is just as fabulous as the drinks.
Both presentation and taste. My bestie ordered the Fried Calamari, which was perfectly cooked and came with a Tartar sauce that had a kick to it like salsa (we were honestly kinda amazed at that combo being well pulled-off lol ) and a sweet Marinara sauce (that I was tempted to just eat by itself, it was that good ). Drinks: Malibu Peach (I wanted to order 5 of these but knew I'd be under the table if I did.
Dangerously Delicious and ever-so-pretty) Black Orchid (I took way more pics of this than I probably should've, but It's A Truly Gorgeous Drink and it tasted like candy.
Yet another Dangerously Delicious drink lol ) Lavender Drop (Honestly, it's really relaxing and the first thing I thought upon first taste was 'Can I make this at home? I could definitely drink this every night.' XD Personally, I love Lavender.
But, if you don't like Lavender though, steer very clear of this one because taste wise and scent wise it is Very Very Lavender lol It has a crisp and clear taste so it's not overwhelming, but it is like 90% Lavender ) Food: Sesame Shrimp Noodles: Lots of veggies, lots of shrimp, and oodles of noodles lol I ate past the point of feeling full simply because the taste was on-point and I couldn't get myself to just request a to-go box. Lobster Garlic Noodles: This was actually my bestie's food order that I stole multiple bites of before my food came out. I gotta say that if I wasn't on a holiday budget, I'd have ordered this as a To-Go item.

We stopped in after watching a movie next door and to celebrate a birthday, and what a delightful experience it turned out to be! Our waiter, Kae, not only ensured that the food was delicious but also went above and beyond to make our celebration special.
Kae made sure the birthday boy received a candle and a cake, adding a personal touch that made the occasion unforgettable.
Their exceptional customer service, combined with the delectable food, truly made our visit memorable.
I highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you're lucky enough to be served by Kae!

I was seated right away.
I don't remember my waiters name, but he was amazing.
He was attentive and provided very good promt service.
He let me know what was going on in terms of when my order would be coming out.
My eyes were bigger than my stomach (lol), and he noticed and came and boxed up my wings and sauce.
They gave me mushrooms on my lobster noodle, but he immediately got it remade and apologized.
I was very pleased with his service.
