    Underwhelming. One server attending to all tables. Rushed and overwhelmed. Food was ok. Service un attentive. We had to clean the table ourselves and put plates away.

    First time there, 4 of us. Food was high spot. Service just ok. Had to search for waiter several times for drink from bar that never came with wines ordered by others. Also waiter never looked our way when we tried to get check. Atmosphere ok but very noisy table with young kids nearby whose shrill voices terribly unpleasant and distracting. This was a Sat night 8 pm res so likely rare occurrence. We’ll return at some point but not on weekend night. Food excellent and comfortably priced. Highly recommend installing some type of sound absorber in main dining area.

    My family loved the food and service at Yara! We ordered the Hummus to start, then Lemon Sole and Scampi for dinner. Everything was so flavorful and prepared perfectly! Linda and Rocky took care of us and were attentive and so friendly.

    We were 1 of 2 tables in the restaurant and the service was mediocre at best. The food was average but a bit pricey. The sandwiches were not offered for dinner which we felt was a bit of a disservice as well.
