The Eater LA Guide to Dining at the Hollywood Bowl | Eater LA
"Inspired by Suzanne Goin’s former Brentwood restaurant Tavern, the Backyard emphasizes an open grill and seasonal fare; start with a charcuterie board and crusty sourdough from the Larder bakery. Standout entrees mentioned include Baja striped bass with a summery corn succotash and crisp watercress, grilled lamb chops atop marinated eggplant and blistered sweet peppers, and grilled diver scallops served over a cornbread panade with wild mushrooms, and for dessert the cherry and apricot galette is recommended. Reservations are recommended (arriving when they open at 6 p.m. gives ample time before the show)." - Matthew Kang
"Tucked behind spacious gardens and beside a pool, this restaurant like a hidden gem within the Sole East resort. There is a raw bar, and a daily selection of fresh fish caught in Montauk that is simply grilled; the side selection includes polenta with Parmesan and truffle oil, local squash, and grilled asparagus. Cavatelli is prepared with lobster, jumbo shrimp, tarragon, and tomato ragu, but there’s a flat iron steak for carnivores." - Beth Landman
We recently had our daughter’s holy communion party here and what an amazing time we all had! I didn’t want to go to a restaurant and force kids to sit in a chair and stay quiet because I hate that! The kids were able to be kids and were all having such a blast while the adults were playing games like cornhole, ping pong and shuffle board and having just as much fun as the kids while mingling! The staff here was so accommodating and friendly and I would 1000% recommend The Backyard, whether you just need a date night or you have an event to celebrate 😃

The Backyard is the place to come for fun, games and cornhole. The atmosphere is amazing and there is so much to do from friendly cornhole competitions, to ping pong, darts, pool, shuffle board and more. This is our go to spot for an awesome Friday night filled with friends and laughter!

We chose this venue for my husband's 40th. I am so happy we had it here. It was a great atmosphere for our guests to walk around to talk, mingle, and play games. They don't serve food here which I am not mad about, we had the party catered. This is great for someone who just wants a fun open space for a party without all the crazy party packages. Someone was always around to assist us with our needs. I highly recommend this venue for any event

The BACK YARD IS Best Place for Cornhole on Long Island. The team that runs the Back Yard and tournaments are just awesome! This places is just awesome!
Any level of cornhole play are welcome but If you're competitive and like the challenge? "COM' ON IN." (YOU MUST BE A MEMBER TO PLAY CORNHOLE) There's more then just cornhole but you have to come in to experience not just for The BACK YARD, but the people as well. The people are like family. I'm so lucky to have the Back Yard near my home. Like the saying go's "YOU DON'T JUST PLAY CORNHOLE, YOU BECOME IT. -Come play, have some drinks, good food and meet great people. CHEERS 🇺🇲 🍻

So much to do. This place is huge. The drinks were great and priced fairly. The staff were all so friendly and accommodating. All the patrons were respectful. If anyone’s looking for anything to do any night of the week, so many things going on!!! The new bocce court was pretty cool too they just built a court. Bring your friends and check it out. There’s plenty of parking in the parking lo. Also check on the Facebook or instagram Pages As they constantly update it with events. Such a great idea by great people. We will definitely be back.
