Sure wish I lived closer to the Yard in Santa Monica. I’m certain the gastropub would be my regular hangout, plus my good friend Ryan (he’s an awesome food photographer) is there practically every night!
A few of my tasty photos:
Arancini. Crispy risotto balls, spicy marinara
Paprika spiced calamari, roasted marinara, fried lemon
Poutine, skinny fries, brown gravy, cheese curds (Late Night Menu Only)
Mac n Cheese, Pancetta, Sauteed Market kale, crispy Bread Crumbs
“Specials” Menu
with my best friend Brent (just after he moved to L.A.)
Peter and our good friend Julie

Those arancini are right in my wheelhouse. I love those damned things. The Yard seems like it has some really good pub grub – very high end stuff.
