"The Beverly Center’s Yardbird has a special a la carte menu on Thanksgiving Day, so you can eat your personal Thanksgiving favorites for dinner (and avoid that Depression-era jello salad your grandma always makes). The main entree is a classic turkey dinner with all the fixings, plus there are a ton of sides like lobster mac & cheese, biscuit stuffing, leek potato gratin, and a brown butter bourbon pumpkin pie with honey whipped cream. Price: $50-100 per person " - nikko duren
"What It Is: An upscale Southern restaurant in The Beverly Center Perfect For: Big Groups, After-Work Drinks For this week’s edition of Which New Restaurant Opened Inside The Beverly Center, we checked in on Yardbird. Located on the ground floor of the forever-being-renovated mall, this upscale Southern restaurant originally from Miami has a nice-enough space, but unfortunately, the food just isn’t very good. The restaurant, which also has locations in Vegas and Singapore, is best known for its chicken and waffles. Here, it’s not a terrible dish, but it’s also one you aren’t going to remember in a half hour. And the same goes for everything else on the menu. The Verdict: If you work at Cedars and need a corporate environment for after-work drinks with coworkers, Yardbird will do the trick. Otherwise, you can skip it." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, brett keating

There’s even the restaurant’s signature fried chicken to add on if that’s not enough." - Matthew Kang
"With a more flexible Thanksgiving day situation, Southern restaurant Yardbird has a $36 turkey dinner with all the sides, plus plenty of other menu items a la carte at its Beverly Center location." - Matthew Kang
