YOLOamazing food, great atomsphere BUTThe food was amazing. I had the salamon and my lady had the fish of the day which was trout. The atomsphere was good. It was a lot of people out having drinks at the bar and appear to be enjoying themselves.
My only complaint was that the hosts as well as the service wasn't very good. Neither was very friendly and seem to rush us out. When I go to a new restaurant I always ask what's the most popular dish on the menu. Waitress had no idea. The soup of the day was the potato leek and she couldn't explain what leek was. It seem like I was bothering her by asking her questions.
The waitress might have just been having a bad night.
Overall I would recommend it..6/7/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat experienceWe had a very good lunch and the service was great. Will definitely go back when we go back to Ft. Lauderdale.

Can't wait to go back.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMA foodies delight!The entire experience from the valet to the servers to our meal was exceptional. Everything was great. The jumbo lump crab cakes were delicious and perhaps the best we've ever had. The 18oz bone in ribeye was prepared perfectly to our order. We will return on our next trip to Ft Lauderdale.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMI don't get up to Fort LauderdaleI don't get up to Fort Lauderdale much but I am glad I did this time.I pulled up to YOLO and after being greeted by the valet my wife and I walked up to the restaurant and admired the warm glow of the fire pit and the tall bamboo that lined the patio.A friendly smile from the hostess welcomed us and we were brought to a nice booth.Our server greeted us and she offered us a drink and recommended a few appetizers. We opted for the calamari and came out in a few minutes. It was a fried calamari tossed in a sweet chili sauce. We both enjoyed it very much. I ordered the Manhattan steak with mushrooms and onions and my wife had the crab cakes. Both were excellent. I would recommend Yolo to anyone who wants an exciting happening evening out.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had an enjoyable evening. OnWe had an enjoyable evening.
On our reservation we stated that we were celebrating our anniversary but that was never acknowledged.4/22/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food and serviceHad a great meal here.

Second time there and will be back.4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMgreat restaurant, food wasgreat restaurant, food was amazing, ambience was very good, definetly recommend!!4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMI reserved a table for 3 andI reserved a table for 3 and arrived first with one other guest. I was told I could not be seated until all 3 were ready to be seated even though I asked to be seated. I said to the hostest that if I could not be seated that I would never come to the restaurant again. It made no difference to her. I have eaten at YOLO many times and have enjoyed it but the new policy of refusing to seat guests until the entire party is present will cause me to never again go to YOLO. There are too many other choices.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent place for outdoor lunchHad a very nice lunch outdoors on a beautiful day. Wife had a BBQ Chicken salad which she enjoyed. I had the Prime Rib sandwich which was excellent. Very attentive service. Really nice place and location for lunch.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMConsistently goodYOLO provides consistently good service and food. Reception is a little lack lustre but perhaps with experience she will learn how to greet paying clients appropriately. That said, YOLO is a must visit restaurant in Fort Lauderdale4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent artichokes! TooExcellent artichokes! Too noisy for lunch crowd. Excellent servers.4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMThe place to be! We sat onThe place to be! We sat on the patio. The whole restaurant was busy and vibrant. Crab cakes were amazing, almost all crabmeat! The best part was the service. Sit with Edward! His professionalism along with his quick wit and charm made the experience truly unforgettable. Not to mention him being really really ridiculously good looking! Can't wait to go back4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMYou can't go wrong with YOLO.You can't go wrong with YOLO. The food is fresh and changes up each week. Honorable mentions are the daily soups, the mojo pork sandwich, the garden burger, the fish tacos, the chopped salad. Other than the veggie stir fry, I haven't had anything that I did not like. The ambience and service is excellent - it's a vibrant scene during lunch, dinner and happy hour. They have an outdoor firepit for those chilly FL nights and they even have a "s'mores" night when they give you the fixins to make them by the fire! I highly recommend YOLO for consistently great dining experiences.4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMQuick lunch was needed. ValetQuick lunch was needed. Valet parking and I was seated within minutes.

We had gone to quiet restaurants the whole time we were in Ft. Lauderdale and were looking for something more lively and fun. There were a lot of people, very energetic and fun. We had the truffle chips and artichokes for appetizers, the fish special and filet mignon for entrees and the ice cream sandwiches as dessert, all with a bottle of wine our server recommended to us. Everything was above and beyond our expectations. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was perfect, and the service was great.
