- DDarcyAustin •4 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoLove Yamas! Second time there and definitely not the last time! The food was amazing. Having been in Greece a year and a half ago, I appreciated how authentic the food was. We had Saganaki, Spanakopita, Greek salads and the Sea Bass and the whole fish bream - and shared a divine desert. We could hear each other talk, which is an anomaly these days in Austin restaurants. This the weight staff was incredibly attentive, the food came out in a timely fashion, and overall we had a wonderful experience in a beautiful restaurant.More infoYamas AustinPrice: Expensive• Greek• Austin•4.6
