    Great food and great host, but terrible service and service recovery. Waitress dropped a big thing of Soy sauce that splattered all over our clothes, a bag of clothes we just bought, and even splashed on our face and into our hair. She handed us a dry rag to clean up ourselves and the table. Took us 5 minutes to clean up, no clue if stains will come out. Never sincerely apologized, no offer for a free drink or anything. Really spoiled a special night out. All we needed was a sincere apology and acknowledgment. Not what I would expect from the high prices. Last time we go to Yama.

    The food was excellent. However the tables are very close and the place is quite loud. There was a group that was very drunk and noisy. Not a great place for conversation
