The Yard House
The Yard House is new to downtown Denver. Opening a few weeks ago I decided to give it a try. We called ahead to make our reservation as it was a Friday night. This turned out to be our saving grace. Upon arrival the wait was about 45 minutes. Although this isn’t unusual in Downtown Denver it was nice not to have to wait.
We were whisked away to our table in under five minutes. The place was completely packed and with the size of the restaurant I immediately thought “there is no way in hell they are going to be able to meet my standards of service. ” I was dead wrong. Our server was prompt and courteous. The menu selection is vast. At the Yard house, which is by the way a chain and would not ordinarily serve my interests, they have a system that they call co-operative. It employs an everyone helps everyone atmosphere that really works. I know this system is not new to the industry but it is usually fraught with attitudes and the usual discourse and therefore it fails on the basic level.
Anyhow, dinner was great. Fish and chips was light fluffy fresh fish with just the right amount of crunch. Served hot with vinegar and my choice of tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. I was delightfully surprised with the quality, quantity and presentation of the food. Vato G definitely likes the the Yard House and will certainly return again
