    My boyfriend and I have been to YOT half a dozen times before. We love the atmosphere and the food. That being said, we were disappointed this time. In attempt to surprise and treat my boyfriend for a big promotion he earned at work this week, I took him to YOT and told him to leave his wallet at home as it was my treat and wanted to pay. We sat down and were asked for our IDs. Of course, he didn't have his as I instructed him to leave his wallet behind. We were refused any alcoholic drinks. I understand this is protocol, but it was a frustrating experience as he was able to show a clear photo of his ID on his phone and offered other forms of identification to cross reference. Not once have I been asked to see an ID before this night. We are well over 21. Again, I understand the purpose, but it was disappointing that our celebration night was hindered. Especially after noting in the reservation that the dinner was for a special occasion.

    This was a great find. Tucked away off the New River where some of the great super yachts are moored so just a great view to sit outside. The brunch here is GREAT! Cinnamon buns and french were really good. Highly recommend brunch here.

    This was our first visit. We sat outside in the shaded area and the view was spectacular! I ordered a lobster roll & fries. The lobster roll was excellent! The best I’ve ever had. Leah was our server. She is welcoming and helped us with suggestions. Leah made our visit very enjoyable and the service was perfect! I highly recommend this restaurant and Leah as well!

    It was ok. The food was pretty good and service was good with the exception of wait times (came during busy time.) I found the wait time to be too long for food despite the busyness of the restaurant. One of the hostesses almost made me want to turn away because of her lack of candor but overall everyone was pretty nice.

    When checking in it was raining we had requested to sit outside, but we were given a table inside and I wanted to sit on the patio. I didn’t think that the two girls at the front doing the seating were very helpful as a matter fact I think they were rude. They said that there were no open tables on the patio so I finished my food inside and a lot of the tables on the patio were never used.

    Grace was great. My moms 62nd birthday was memorable. All food was well received by my family. My steak was great all the drinks were awesome. It was so quiet in the restaurant it felt like we had the place to ourselves weather certainly played a factor. But the team around was still on top of us and the he manager even swung by and touched the table. All positives will certainly be back soon hopefully!

    This was my first time going to Yot, i’ve heard so much abt it and it didn’t disappoint! The hostess was very sweet and accommodating as it was raining and i had reserved a seat at the deck area. our server was so attentive and kind, the ambiance was amazing and the live singer really set the vibe too. we of course had to try the fish dip which was really good! the “chips” threw me off a bit but still good nonetheless. I ordered the miso salmon blackened and it came out exactly how i wanted! my partner ordered the curry chicken and it was definitely an “attempt” at curry chicken, not bad but not the best thing on their menu. all in all, a great place for a date night!

    We eat at YOT often and it is always fun! We enjoy the bar area mostly, but the music is extremely loud no matter where you are sitting. The outside bar and eating area are on the dock which means you are on the water! It’s perfect. Service is always good.
