The Front Yard

Nestled just off the bustling Las Vegas Strip, this delightful spot is connected to the beloved Ellis Island Casino. This adaptable patio eatery has quickly become my top choice for catching up with friends heading to the airport or spending quality time with family during the holidays. Everything we sampled was exceptional and surprisingly affordable, costing only half of what you'd typically pay at a casino on the Strip. The casino itself is generous enough that I covered my meal expenses after a little playtime. I'm truly captivated by this town!

Dining at The Front Yard Restaurant was an absolute delight! The food was expertly prepared, each dish bursting with flavor and creativity. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, providing the ideal setting for a relaxing meal. The standout feature, however, was the exceptional customer service. Every staff member was friendly, attentive, and contributed to a truly enjoyable experience. I highly recommend The Front Yard Restaurant for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience!

A few months back, I had the chance to try the brunch at The Front Yard, available Friday to Sunday from 10am to 3pm. Located in Ellis Island Hotel, I found parking out front and walked in to discover a welcoming open space. It’s a great spot to catch a game while enjoying a wide variety of cocktails and food. Although the waffles were a bit dry, the brisket benedict and wings were definitely satisfying. They also offer impressive mega cocktails. Be sure to check out their weekly events, such as Mega Mondays with BOGO mega cocktails, Tequila and Trivia on Tuesdays, and half-priced wine on Wednesdays.

I decided to visit The Front Yard in Las Vegas for the day as a tourist. While the location is slightly off from the main casinos, it's still conveniently close and offers a refreshing alternative to other spots. It's a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a drink at a more affordable price compared to the strip. The menu is concise, but I tried their signature FrontYard Burger and the Mint Berry Smash drink. The burger was bursting with flavor, and I savored every bite paired with the minty, fruity drink. I'll definitely return for another relaxing lunch. The staff was excellent— the hostess was welcoming, and our server checked in periodically. The manager even stopped by to ensure everything was up to par and to see if we needed anything.

Mixed feedback on The Front Yard. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is appealing—bright, airy, with a spacious bar and numerous TVs for sports enthusiasts. The selection of beers on tap is impressive. However, while the food isn't bad, the prices are somewhat high, particularly since The Village Pub is just a short distance away, offering better pricing and comparable or even superior food. The house salad was enjoyable, and the meatballs were outstanding! Unfortunately, the steak ordered medium rare arrived well-done. While the flavor was fine, it was overcooked and placed directly on the salad and fries, affecting their taste. The server suggested adding Parmesan and garlic to the fries, which was a good call, though they could have been crisper if not covered by the steak. The in-house brisket was a letdown—mostly chopped, greasy, and not appetizing. It’s best to skip the brisket. Also, request that hot steak not be placed on top of salad and fries. Definitely order extra meatballs!

I had a fantastic experience at The Front Yard in Las Vegas. Despite not having high expectations for Ellis Island Hotel's dining options, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food here. My visit on a Saturday morning was filled with a fun atmosphere, thanks to the live DJ and delicious food and drinks. The service was fast and efficient, ensuring that our glasses were never empty. It's safe to say that The Front Yard has now become a top choice for me when it comes to dining in Las Vegas.
