Higher-class American

Yard House
Yard House is a modern restaurant in the heart of Old Town Pasadena with new twists on traditional family and steakhouse style foods.  I have been twice now for special evenings.  It is a bit on the pricey side, but they can charge more because of their location - they are always packed full!  Their food is of a slightly higher class than those of a similar genre - take for example their truffle fries or lobster-artichoke dip.  The menu has many unique and diverse options.  Most of the dishes I've tried are pretty decent, but nothing has blown me away.  The service is a bit slow - yes they are always busy, but since they are always busy they should have learned how to accommodate that trend.  The atmosphere is nice - very lively to fit with its location, but also quite noisy.  If you can afford it, it's a great place to go try something new and unique, but if you're looking for a special date night location to really wow you, I think there are better options.
