   Love this restaurant. Have dined here at least once every time we come to Williamsburg. Highly recommend it. Only thing that needs to be fixed is to better train the bus staff. Slow, reached over me to clear my spouse's plates more than once. Also watched them clearing a table....really slow, and still did not completely reset the table. Delayed seating for patrons standing (no seating available) and waiting in the entrance way. Our server was wonderful, food was excellent, no bad choices.

   This place never disappoints. My wife and I have been several times for brunch and just love it. A very special place with great food and service. The menu is diverse and covers lots of tastes. The one price brunch is the most complete package and is a delight.

    Delicious food and good service. Front room was a little noisy and distracting with check in. Will ask for a room in back next time. Nice they acknowledged my husband's bday - would have been nicer if they offered something, or even put a candle in his desert.

    Went for Mother’s Day but was not told until the Friday before that they had done a Mothers Day Menu that was $75 per person. Food was excellent but I thought the price was high and didn’t like finding out right before about the price change.

    As usual, the food and presentation was as good as it gets! Been coming here for many years, and this time was the first that anything has been less than outstanding. But our server was certainly not up to standards. Far more interested in friends nearby. Got a super simple drink order wrong, not once but twice. Even after we accepted the first mistake with only a request for correction the next time. But a second failure. Very disappointed. But will probably return and pray for a different server.

    Okay, I went from brunch in this place with high expectations and it was up to it. The onion soup is nothing like you would expect a French Onion Soup. It is really bad presentation, with the soup brought in a normal soup plate, the topping cheese was not even taken to the oven to gratin (!!!) and two floating crouton squares were thrown in it. I even asked the waiter if the soup was always like this or if they made mine in a hurry... Why does it say volcano soup on the menu? I am not sure. I had the scallops and shrimp gratin as main, which was better but had some shells in it. I was told they did not have heating near the seats outside but strangely they were still putting some other parties on the outside tables, and considering it was mother's day weekend I would think they would buy more fuel for the heaters. Good things: bread (pain au chocolat and baguette) and drinks. Would not go back myself, but I think it is okay to go and try by yourself at least once since there are not many options in town anyway.

    The food was fantastic! Beef tenderloin filets were perfection. Scallopini also great. Deserts equally wonderful. Service was also great. Waiter was present as needed without hovering. Out of town visitor; otherwise, this would become a go-to dining destination.

    Hubby did research on restaurants and saw Le Yaca French restaurant, we wanted to try it and made reservation before our trip to Williamsburg. It is a pretty big place, we dined on a Friday night and it was quite full. I liked and felt at ease on the warm and cozy environment. We were seated in the dinning room with a fireplace and our server Gayle was super nice and engaging which made our experience more pleasant. We opted for the Chef’s 5-course tasting menu, and it was pretty amazing. Just a quick note, unlike others places we were surprised that they are pretty generous on the portions of the tasting menu. On the 1st course my hubby had Maine lobster tail &Truffle vinaigrette, and I went with Diver Sea Scallops carpaccio. Both were fresh and nicely seasoned. 2nd course we both got the Foie Gras on top of seared duck breast! It paired quite nice as most places only give you toasts with foie gras. 3rd one is Lemon Sorbet to clean your palate for main course. On main course, we both picked the Trio Gourmand which you get a piece of Beef Tenderloin, Lamb chop, and Veal Tenderloin, each with different sauce. Since I don’t eat lamb, they accommodated and substituted duck for me. The meats were tendered and juicy. I am not big on sauce but the mushroom cream sauce on the veal was so enticing. Finally dessert, I had the Grand Marnier Soufflé and hubby had Tiramisu. It was a lot of food. What a delightful experience and food was absolutely delicious. If you are looking to enjoy a nice long dinner in the area, this place definitely worth the money and time!

    Always super, gourmet-style cooking, and reasonable proportions, as opposed to 2-3 times what you might want to eat. Even the dessert, while rich and delicious, an apple concoction with vanilla ice cream, was reasonable and not a lean-in to a guilt trip.
