Review of Yardbird

Yardbird was one of the restaurants I was most looking forward to visiting while my husband and I were in Las Vegas. Overall, the food was good but expensive ($40 for chicken and waffles). The only thing that threw me for a little bit of a loop was that our waiter immediately told me there were no guarantees for “gluten free” due to the shared kitchen space. They do have a dedicated fryer, but he told me there’s no guarantee as to how the kitchen staff handles the food. This was a red flag as I’ve been several other establishments where, despite having shared kitchen space, steps are taken to ensure minimal risk of cross contamination. I did end up deciding to try it because I was starving (Vegas was severely lacking in safe options) and felt ok after, but was definitely nervous.
