Yard House restaurant, Glenview, IL

We stopped by The Glenn one early evening (4:45....is that evening or afternoon - I vote evening since it is already dark at this time of the year).

We decided to try the Yard House in the Glenn in Glenview, IL.  We were seated immediately.  It ends up it was Happy Hour, so certain appetizers, sliders and pizzas are half price. We ordered 4 dishes to be share between the two of us - perfect. The whole check (including one diet Coke) was $29. Not bad!

Here are the two I had....
 CALIFORNIA ROLL
sushi rice cake with cucumber, snow crab, tobiko, avocado fan and wasabi soy sauce
This is a close up of the California Roll.  It's about 3.5 inches diameter. It is a great idea of something to serve as an appetizer for a crowd.  I am definitely going to try to make this as well as other versions....tuna, spicy tuna, etc.


LETTUCE WRAPS
stir fried, smoked tofu, pine nuts and green onions with three dipping sauces and choice chicken, tiger shrimp, or shiitake & portabella mushrooms 
The one I ordered was the mushroom wrap. It was AMAZING! Very light and full of flavor....and vegetarian.  I have been trying to find some vegetarian options, and this one is great.  I need to try to find this recipe.
