Great location and friendly staff. Food a mixed bag, with the Kleftiko rather disappointing considering the price. Not a lot of meat on the bone. Shuts promptly at 9pm so rather than being offered a dessert, we were just given the bill whilst chairs were being stacked around us.

Love this place for the food and service. Only downside is it gets a bit noisy but the food and service makes up for that shortfall.

Disappointing Experience – Poor Communication and Rushed Service We had booked our table at Yass Restaurant well in advance, but unfortunately, our experience was far from what we expected. At no point were we informed—via email or message—that a private event was scheduled that evening. Had we known, we would have chosen another day. When we arrived on time for our booking, we were told we’d need to finish quickly due to the upcoming private event. Barely an hour into our meal, announcements began asking guests to leave. My friend had to gulp down her drink and wasn’t even able to finish her meal properly. The whole evening felt rushed and uncomfortable, completely defeating the purpose of dining out—to relax, enjoy a meal, and spend time with friends. Sadly, this lack of communication and hospitality left a very poor impression.

I wouldn’t say the noise level was “energetic”, definitely more overstimulating. There were a few large tables including mine which is fine but the music was overpowering the whole place to where it forces everyone to be louder because we can’t hear each other. Pretty disappointing for the atmosphere considering the Venue isn’t overly huge, especially when they’re not using the back area which forces all the tables to be in range of each other and then creating the constant cycle of loud noise. Food is nice, really quick service which was great. Honestly it was a much nicer experience at 4pm once a lot of the tables had gone and the music seemed much quieter.

We did the pre show, pre paid package. Great two course meal with entree to start and then a choice of a main each, plus a glass of wine. Thought the value per head was very reasonable. Food was really good and would recommend this restaurant.
