The Yard House

Yard House at The Village at Meridian, Idaho

Friday evening, the Yard House opened at The Village at Meridian, and I was grateful to be invited to attend the Grand Opening celebration. I was given a reserved table, so Daniel and I invited our good friends Casey and Erica to try out Meridian's hottest new spot. As I was running around taking photos, I bumped into our other good friends David and Katey as they were walking in, so we invited them over to our table... the more the merrier!

The Yard House didn't officially open to the public until 8:00 pm, so we were there to preview the location and try samples of their most popular dishes. We sampled their ahi poke, firecracker wings, seared ahi, Korean BBQ beef, chicken garlic noodles, spinach cheese dip, summer salad, cheeseburgers, egg rolls, crab cakes—the list goes on and on! Everything was absolutely delicious, and I'll tell you what—we didn't think we'd be able to get full by simply eating "samples," but they just kept coming and coming. Their staff was on point and the food was so delicious! For dessert, we were treated to mini crème brûlées, and I'll be honest with you, I had two... they were absolutely divine!

The evening was spent over laughs and good times, and delicious delicious food. If you're local to the Boise area, give the Yard House a visit—you won't be disappointed. I know Yard House has locations all over the United States, so chances are pretty good that there's one near you if you're not in town.

Thanks again to the Yard House—the food was delicious, the service was amazing (Bree, you spoiled us!), and we are all anticipating a return visit. Thanks for making The Village at Meridian the place to be!

Oh sweet yumminess! That all sounds delish. I wish we had one here but heck, not much is here. ;)

We love the Yard House! We were regulars at the one in Nyack back in New York. I haven't tried anything on their menu that wasn't fabulous. Oh, and seriously beautiful autumn leaf pictures, too!

We love the Yard House and go almost every time we go to Kansas City!!! I love how big the menu is and try to get new things every time but I have some stand-bys, too!

One of my favorite places! They opened one recently near us, but we haven't had a chance to go yet. How fun to be invited to try it all a bit early!

Brittany Wilson said...

Annelise Rowe said...

Aw :( Well that's how our little city was just a few years ago! Can't believe all that's happened here since then!

Annelise Rowe said...

Thank you about the leaves... I can't get enough of them right now. The trees around here are just awesome. So tell me, what was your FAVORITE thing of all time at Yard House?

Annelise Rowe said...

OK, well you must tell me-- what's your favorite thing? Can't wait to go and actually order something!

Annelise Rowe said...

And I'm so excited we got to try so much... now I know what I want when I go back... besides for all the other delicious things on the menu. What's your fave thing?

Annelise Rowe said...

You must you must!

Annelise Rowe said...

Woop woop! They're popping up all over. Can't believe we finally have one!

Annelise Rowe said...

You must! Maybe we'll run into you sometime! :)

I love the Margarita pizza and we always get the chicken wraps (off the appetizer menu) - no tofu in our, though!!! We also love the truffle fries. And - many, many of the martinis are good!!!

Probably the ahi sliders with sweet garlic aioli sauce. And I'm a sucker for the house honey blonde ale.

Linda said...

Looks like you had a great time. I sure miss autumn.

Holly said...

That restaurant looks awesome. I want one near me (in England, sadly). :P

Annelise Rowe said...

OOH Margherita Pizza! I never say no to pizza :)

Annelise Rowe said...

We sampled the sliders... they were DELICIOUS.

Annelise Rowe said...

Come up for a visit!! I don't like the temperature autumn brings... but the colors. OH THE COLORS! :)

Annelise Rowe said...

Maybe someday! Keep those fingers crossed :)
