My company team and I came here for dinner, and it was such a lovely experience! I believe they booked a private room with a set menu, and I genuinely thought everything was delicious. Service was incredible despite how large of a group we were, and our waitress on our side of the table was so sweet. Food came out really quickly, and I loved chatting and eating with my co workers. I would definitely come back here again if I came with friends or family! I especially loved the short rib, salad, and pesto pasta. Those are must orders!

Chicken was absolutely delicious, Mac n cheese was a must! I definitely could have shared with my dad but we enjoyed the leftovers the next day. We had Lawrence as our server and he was an absolute sweetheart. So attentive and friendly. Will absolutely come back next time we are in town!

Lemon Basil Rigatoni

My partner and I had a reservation for dinner during our visit to Vegas and first impressions is that this restaurant is super LOUD. As expected though, full of customers and people walking by, it's the center of all the attention inside the The Venetian Las Vegas Hotel. It's nice to note that inside is quite the darker lighting so that was a nice tough to the vibes overall. We were seated immediately with a reservation and our orders were taken within 15 minutes or so. Staff here is pretty friendly but not anything over the top. Restaurant was super busy so it's understandable. At times, my partner and I did feel like we weren't even there. Food: Arrived pretty quick, was impressed with the presentation and how the staff explained each dish. -- Crispy Fingerling Potatoes ($15) -- Presented in a pot, this dish consist of Pecorino, Rosemary, and Chives. The potatoes were bite size, and a decent appetizer to start the meal, not too salty and not too overwhelming as well. -- Creamy Jambalaya Pasta ($38) -- Covered in Cajun Cream Sauce, Andouille Sausage, Peppers, Grilled Chicken, and shrimp, there's a bit of a spice that's in every bite, it just wasn't anything special. I had found some shrimp shells in my shrimp but it was manageable to clear out. Aside from that, portions are pretty standard so there's a plus on that front. For the price, I would choose another option. 6/10 -- Lemon Basil Rigatoni VEGAN ($28) -- Comes covered in Roasted Garlic Cashew Cream, and some vegetables, pretty opposite to the Jambalaya pasta, each bite was pretty flavorful and I thought it complimented the spicy flavor of the Jambalaya. Portions are pretty big as well but not as much as the other dish. Would order this again. 8/10 Overall, a solid restaurant with decent food, seems more of a brunch place so I'll see if my partner and I can revisit next time to try other dishes. It's quite loud to the point where I have to raise my voice quite a bit just for my partner to hear me.

GF CHICKEN 'N' WATERMELON 'N' WAFFLES

Absolutely loved your GF options! Our server was great, had good recommendations and super quick service. The ambiance is nice and cute. My 7yo has celiac and we loved that she could eat items she typically wouldn't

CHICKEN 'N' WATERMELON 'N' WAFFLES ($44 | 1/2 chicken) Nicely brined chicken; Enuf for 2
Joe P.

We had a $65/day bfast credit for our room at the Palazzo, so we decided to use it here. We had no problem meeting the $65 credit. First of all, I ate the salmon avo toast while I waited for the chicken & waffles. The toast was very good w/ lots of fresh avo. However, it was ridiculously overpriced @ $27 w/ only one slice of bread. On the other hand, the chicken was nicely brined, fried and seasoned. The price was high @ $44, but more reasonable considering it fed two people. The bartender was cool & attentive. He made sure there were utensils in the take out bag. Regarding the ambiance, its large here w/ a Western motif. I'd return to share the chicken, but I'm not sure about the other items. The prices are high vs the portions.

Loud and lively spot! We ordered the whole bird and shared among 3 people. The bourbon syrup and honey hot sauce were a nice touch in combo with the waffles. The taste of the chicken is only mildly deeper than your average chicken. I'm not completely convinced it is worth.

CHICKEN 'N' WATERMELON 'N' WAFFLES, MAC & CHEESE
Danielle B.

The chicken n watermelon n waffles are a MUST TRY here! I would say this is one of the best I've ever had it's SO GOOD. It came with HUGE pieces of chicken. The chicken is perfectly crispy and seasoned, the waffle is soft and crunchy in all the right places, then the watermelon is the icing on top of the cake to top it all off. The Mac n cheese was pretty good, not the best I've ever had but still delicious gooey cheesiness. This was actually enough to feed 2 people so despite the price I would say it's a good value if you're sharing with someone! Definitely add the hot sauce onto the fried chicken for extra yumminess! I've heard thy have really good southern inspired cocktails here too! Service was good, our waiter was nice and attentive to the table, came back to fill our water a few times. It took awhile to get someone's attention to get our check at the end but it did get busier so understandable. Interior is really pretty. Modern elevated warm farmhouse decor. All of the plates/dishes are super cute and fit the theme. Overall, I would come here again! The chicken n watermelon n waffles are to die for!

green monster
Becky C.

Went to Yardbird for breakfast and the service was great. Our server was super nice and really attentive the whole time which made the experience feel welcoming. The inside is really pretty with darker lighting and nice cozy vibes. Portions here are huge. We ordered the All American breakfast and the flapjacks and both plates were massive. The food itself was pretty basic though and nothing really stood out flavor wise. It definitely leans on the heavier side so it felt like a lot for first thing in the morning. We also tried the Green Monster which was actually a really nice start to the morning and felt refreshing. The iced latte unfortunately tasted a little watered down. One thing to note is they automatically add a 12% tip to the bill.

Menu

Pretty nice to dine at Yardbird for breakfast/brunch! Amazing selections. We walked in and got a table for 2 recently, and we were seated immediately. We each got a coffee drink, but doubled it- cappuccino for me and a vanilla latte for him. We shared the following- Smoked salmon avocado toast with a poached egg- pretty good! I personally wasn't a fan of the bread itself, but the toppings were all great. Flavors went well together and the smoked salmon was tasty as well. Pretty dish as well. Chicken and Waffles- pretty unique take in terms of ingredients re the waffle in this dish. Fried chicken, sharp cheddar waffle, chili spiced watermelon. Came with the hot honey and bourbon maple syrup. Chicken itself was nicely fried, but I'm more into the dark meat as the white meat pieces were too dry for me. Hot honey to the rescue! Tables / seats were on a bit of a higher side re where we were seated, but nice atmosphere overall. Supposedly I've been here years ago and also tried their beignets and juices. Those were pretty good as well. They auto add 18% and mention you don't need to tip additional.

Blackened Shrimp Wedge Salad
Michael R.

My first visit to Yardbird was for a recent getaway brunch/lunch was a good one. This is a casual yet tasty spot in the area between Palazzo and Venetian. Wedge salad with blackened shrimp was a good choice for me-avocado and grape tomatoes were cold and crisp. Their side of bacon is a real deal portion and was crispy. My son got the Fried Chicken, which had great breading that was crunchy and a hot honey drizzle. Everything was enjoyed, and the blackberry bourbon lemonade wasn't bad either.

So we had dinner here at the Yardbird located inside the Venetian. I have to tell you it was an outstanding experience everything from the food to the service. Our server was very polite and the great thing was there was always someone else following up behind to see if we needed a drink refill or something like that. I ordered the chicken and waffles. Wow! The chicken had great seasoning was very tender, and the waffles were outstanding. I used a little bit of the maple syrup and I can't quite remember what the other one was that was spicy, but they were both very very good. The wife ordered chicken with the brussels sprouts. We've already told you how wonderful the chicken was. Hers was no different. Extremely tender great breading on it. Now the brussels sprouts that's a different story. These were spectacular. Just the right flavoring and the right amount of char on them. They were out of this world. If you are ever in the Venetian in that little food court area highly recommend the Yardbird. The watermelon was also fantastic.

Gluten free CHICKEN 'N' WATERMELON 'N' WAFFLES
Sara R.

Yardbird absolutely delivered. The gluten free chicken and waffles were incredible, crispy, flavorful chicken with waffles that didn't feel like an "alternative" version at all. As someone who has to hunt for good gluten free options, this was a rare Vegas win. The service was also top tier from start to finish. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun instead of rushed. Definitely one of the best meals we had on the trip and a place I'd happily come back to.

We decided to try Yardbird at The Venetian for brunch after seeing how busy it was, figured they must be doing something right. We were able to snag a couple of seats at the bar, and despite how packed it was, the service was outstanding from start to finish. I ordered the smoked salmon avocado toast, which turned out to be a great choice. It's built on perfectly toasted bread with a generous layer of creamy, ripe avocado, then topped with silky, smoky salmon that adds rich flavor without feeling heavy at all. Balanced, fresh, and really well done. My boyfriend ordered the breakfast sandwich with biscuit, gravy, egg, chicken, and bacon purely because he was ogling the plate of the guy sitting next to him, who convinced him to order it. He definitely enjoyed it, but OMG that thing was huge! We also shared a side of Brussels sprouts, which were excellent. I'll admit, I was hesitant to come here at first because I assumed Southern food might be too heavy for breakfast or brunch, but I was completely mistaken. Yardbird actually offers lighter, easy options alongside the indulgent ones, so there's truly something for everyone. Busy for a reason, great service, and a solid brunch I'd happily come back to.

The highlight of this evening was this hidden speakeasy cocktail bar inside the Bellagio!…read more Paisley greeted us as we entered The Vault and let us know that without a reservation we only had the option of seats at the bar. We've have awesome experiences watching bartenders before AND we were determined to stay so we happily agreed. Paisley was a delight to chat with as we waited for only 10 minutes while seats opened up for us at the bar. I also got to check out the restroom, which boasts a high tech toilet with automated opening/flushing and a heated seat! We had the pleasure of meeting Michael our bartender and Yesi the bartender apprentice, and regulars Bill and Kim from Texas on one side of us, and Mario from California on the other as we spent the next hour and half savoring one luxury cocktail each and some complimentary snacks (seasoned pistachio nuts, cheesy crackers, and a little amazing bite that I can't remember the ingredients of). Welcome complimentary drinks: "Key to my heart" -- fun little rum drinks to start off with served in a spherical black case surrounded by dry ice! (See video). A bit sweet for my taste but tasty and just a little shot's worth (to be sipped). Cocktails: La Vie En Rose: (5/5) Rose infused gin, house made strawberry infused sweet vermouth, aperol, orange essence. Gorgeous spherical ice cube with a real flower frozen inside). Described as a summer Negroni. I chose it because I love Negronis and am always up for trying a variation on a classic like that. The Fountain (5/5): bourbon, Punt e mes vermouth (55 year old bottle!), orange essence. The Vault's take on the classic Manhattan. Michael gave us a taste of the punt e mes sweet vermouth and it was sublime. Both spectacular cocktails were definitely made for sipping and savoring. And to top it off! Little espresso shots at the end....mmm delectable dessert my bites to complete a flawless experience. We'll be back! Michael is a masterful mixologist and Yesi is an awesome apprentice! Highly recommend!

The only hint I'll give is that it's located on the casino floor. When we walked in, we were greeted by the hostess. She asked us if we had reservations or were walking in. I really appreciated this because the way she phrased her question told me they had availability and we would be granted entry. The bar is very small and seats about 30. Reservations are strongly encouraged, however we went on a Monday in February. If you're going on a weeknight during off peak season, you should be okay without a reservation. The hostess gave us the option of sitting at the bar or at a table. We asked her for her rec and she said the bar so that's what we chose. The decor is beautiful. The ambiance is dark and moody. It's perfect for a date night. We were greeted by both bartenders. I believe the bartender that made our drinks was Rory. He was very nice and knowledgeable about cocktails. He was able to answer our questions and make suggestions based on our preferences. As we browsed the menu, we were presented with welcome drinks in a fancy smoky container. I don't recall the name of the drink, but it had a lychee flavor with a sugar rim and it was good! Drinks are extremely pricey which is to be expected in Vegas. It's also on par based on where the speakeasy is located (hint hint). The cheapest cocktail was $30 so prepare yourself for the sticker shock. Some drinks were $80-$100! Sometimes you just have to treat yourself. I went with the Velvet Moon which was an interesting cocktail consisting of both gin and mezcal. It had flavors of hibiscus and it also had egg white which I absolutely love! The presentation was beautiful and I really enjoyed it! My friend went with the Basilico Bliss which he enjoyed. I didn't try any, but it looked really good. As we were enjoying our drinks, the staff presented us with savory bar snacks. They were tasty and were a perfect compliment to our cocktails. They do have food on the menu, but we had already eaten so we stuck with our complimentary snacks. As we were closing out, the staff presented us with a complimentary mini dessert. Rory described it as a Carajillo Jello shot. I don't like jello (I hate the texture), but I do love Carajillos. My friend does not drink coffee and does not like coffee flavor, so I ate both of them. They were so delicious (but the texture was off putting lol). I typically don't mention the restrooms in my reviews, but this one is worth mentioning. All I have to say is heated seats with a bidet! We really enjoyed our visit. Had the drinks not been so pricey, we probably would have stayed longer. If you enjoy speakeasies and/or craft cocktails, go have a drink at The Vault! The experience alone is worth it!
