“Stopped by Yard House for a cold beer after a warm Southern California afternoon, and it turned out to be the perfect place to unwind. Known for having one of the largest draft beer selections in the U.S., the restaurant features an impressive wall of taps with hundreds of beers ranging from local craft brews to international favourites.

With so many choices on the menu, I decided to go for the Sullivan’s Maltings Irish Red Ale. It had a beautiful deep amber-red colour with a balanced profile - slightly hoppy, malty, and very easy to drink. A refreshing choice that paired perfectly with the lively atmosphere.

What really stands out at Yard House is the vibe. The long bar lined with endless beer taps, multiple big-screen TVs showing live sports, and the energetic crowd create a casual and fun environment. Whether you’re catching a game, meeting friends, or simply enjoying a drink after work, it’s an easy place to spend a few hours.

And for the truly thirsty beer lovers, there is always the legendary Half Yard option - a giant yard-long glass that makes the experience even more memorable. I was happy with my Irish Red this time, but perhaps the next visit will be the day I take on the whole yard! 🍺🍻“

Very crunchy, well seasoned, good sauce, pickles, fresh lettuce, delicious bun. The man who gave me my order was very kind and gave me a sample.
I definitely recommend to anyone who likes chicken sandwiches.“

“I love the cool clean freshness of modern architecture and light the restaurant provides; with a decided touch of old ranch atmosphere; you can be left alone to yourself, or join in community. The food is varied, always fresh, healthy, creative modern nouvelle cuisine along with more traditional dishes, the ingredients definitely high quality -California Sunshine. If you really wish to muse, meditate, read, or silently work, the place is surrounded by little nooks and crannies in the midst of nature. You can even lull yourself to a nap, abandoning all care for a few precious minutes. Or else you can sit outside in community, perhaps choosing a more intimate table conversational setting on certain days, resolving the woes or the theories our world is constructed on. All together a complete experience🙏 Thank you.“

“For a hotel restaurant and bar. It's done very well. Moving on.

The staff is extremely nice and professional. The options are great for quick bites, lunch or dinner.

The food tastes fresh. The drinks are great.

Upon walking up to the bar area I was greeted immediately. Staff immediately gave me a menu. And mentioned a special that day. They also let me know that there was a happy hour. Happy hour!? Can't go wrong there can we lol.

I've had the club sandwich, wings and burger.

Club sandwich. Pretty much your average club sandwich. However the ingredients are fresh. Yes it's processed turkey slices. But that's ok. They're good quality ones at that. And they don't skimp. It was a very large well proportioned sandwich.

Wings. Alright these are the star of the show.
Simple but done right. You know when you just want something good? And everywhere just over does it trying to be different? Not these. Simple hot wings cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

Burger.
Ok this is actually insanely good with the bacon.
And their fries are nice and crispy tasty freshness.

So would I recommend this place? Most definitely.
And if you're staying here. No need to go off site for food. The food here is legit.

Enjoy!“

“This Marriott hotel eatery felt calm and open, with valet service right at arrival. The space had a relaxed, airy energy, especially on a quiet Wednesday night.

Our attendant was kind, present, and made the entire meal feel smooth. Dishes arrived quickly, which we liked, as a few noisy kids were running around.

The food was truly pleasing. The sprouts had rich flavor, though a little oily. The thin-crust pizza was great for sharing, with plenty of tasty toppings. The star of the night was the ocean fish—cooked to perfection and paired extremely well with the greens on the side.

I would return again, especially if friends stay at the hotel.“

“Café Bistro is nothing short of perfection! I used to frequent a Bistro in Texas before they rebranded and switched management, and unfortunately, it went downhill from there. But this place feels like stepping into a time machine--bringing back everything I loved about the original experience before it got ruined. The food, the service, and the atmosphere here are exactly what a bistro should be. Everything was spot-on, from the fresh ingredients to the perfectly crafted dishes. It's like finding that old favorite spot again, and I couldn't be happier. Five stars for truly keeping the magic alive!“

Their staff were all very efficient and proactive with serving drinks and clearing things. The whole venue was kept very tidy throughout the day. Claudia was who we worked with to organise everything and her communication was great, so made everything very easy and nothing was a problem for her to change or organise. Thanks for helping up pull off a perfect day!“
