Yard House - Northridge

I can't say enough about how great the customer service was. We never had to look around for our server. Visited with my cousin Charlotte, who's a regular here and they know her by name. We enjoyed the calamari appetizer, which was fried just right. Idon't think you could go wrong with any entree you pick. It was all delicious. Did I mention that we went on my birthday? Theytreated me to a birthday dessert. I picked the bread pudding and it was awesome.

Great beer selection, good food. Noisy environment and very long wait times. No reservations ahead of time. I'd say go on a dead time in the middle of the day and week for it to be worth it, otherwise I wouldn't go. Music is a bit too loud and therestaurant gets extremely full with people so it's like you're yelling at each other over dinner. But if going for beers at thebar just watching the game on the big screens, this is the place. That being said the tuna nacho and calamari appetizers weregood. I do remember their garlic noodles being a hit last time I went as well. Service is a bit slow on busy days and serverswalk past when you try to get their attention but I think cause it's just too loud in there. Maybe outside seating is better forconversations.

Crowded, messy waiting line sostén, loud and difficult to communicate, not the best friendly service, all of this for a mediocre food quality? not my thing sorry. 3 stars for the above mentioned experience. We had to wait 30 min plus additional 15because they messed up the phone numbers at the reception. If you are not to keen on ?sports bars? then don?t even bother to trythis one. It?s self described as ?high end? but reality is that it?s mediocre. Unmotivated sad service and disappointing foodquality made the experience not enjoyable at all. I will NOT come back here. The third star goes for the great beer and beverageoffer to be honest. So if you?re thinking about having some drinks and enjoy some sports on tv this is your place. For food,forget it.

The wait wasn't long which was a good start. Once I sat down I started off with sweet potato fries for an appetizer. The fries were crisp and hot. After I was done with those, I ordered the whiskey glazed salmon. I've never really had an issue with salmonso I was pretty disappointed with this one. The broccoli was undercooked and the salmon tasted as if it was dipped in cheapbarbeque sauce. The mashed potatoes were okay so at least it wasn't all bad. I didn't finish the plate cause I couldn't bringmyself to do it. Also the lighting in the booth section isn't all that. Not sure I would come back.

I decided to visit this restaurant during their Happy Hour. Our server, Ramiro, was fantastic. I highly suggest requesting his section for top-notch service. He was friendly and had a great attitude.
