10/21/2023 Yard House (317) 917-4408

My son and I were in town for a Colts football game and thought this place looked interesting while walking around downtown looking for a place to eat. It was very busy, so we put our name on the list, went to have a beer at a nearby brewery (Goodwood Indy – see previous post) and were texted that our table was ready about an hour later.

We each ordered a flight (see pictures) to get started and I was honestly a little underwhelmed with the House Six Pack (inhouse options). For my palate, the beers were all too light and bland – coming across as watery, with little body or character. They were actually my least favorite of a number of new beers that we sampled downtown that evening (didn’t have to drive, so enjoyed a few beers). I wish I had ordered my own and would have chosen some of the heavier / more unique beers, as I assume this flight was set up for more of a mass market preference.

For our meals, my son ordered the 3 Taco Combo (see picture) and I ordered the Sesame Crusted Ahi (see picture). We shared bites with each other and both of us thought both plates were delicious – we would highly recommend both! The salmon was prepared well and the crusted sesame coat was a nice complement to the soft inner flesh. The tacos were seasoned well, moist and tasty! As the pictures show, the portions weren’t that large, but that was exactly the right size for me.
