    Typical casual food fare. View outside by marina is lovely. The streets leading to resto are closed due to construction. Call resto first for directions.

    Our sever was somewhat new and this impacted her level of service. I think it is easier to explain the service issues rather than avoid them. I hope in time she receives the training and has the level of customer support we expect and is common at this restaurant.

    YOT Bar was excellent. The food amazing & FAST. We were well taken care of. I would recommend the Brunch Burger but the mimosas only have one flavor which is a downside. Upside to the bottomless is that you can go between aperol spritz, bloody mary & rosé, if you like those options. Overall, 9/10 would recommend.

    Granted this reservation was last minute so n Mother’s day. Our table was dirty as it was never wiped after the last patron. We stood and waited for hostess to return to wipe table. Ordered appetizer yot rock shrimp, which proved to be tasty. However the appetizer came before our silverware so we waited for small plates and silverware. Main dish was chicken and waffles sent back due to it having bacon bits in n it. That was our fault for ordering without reading. Food replaced however it was over cooked. Chicken overcooked with too much batter and waffle was too hard. I would not recommend going on a busy day maybe the food won’t be overcooked! The ambience was the best feature to the YOT bar.

    Located in a marina on the New River. A little difficult to find but worth it. They have a huge outdoor seating area. These are the guys who owns the Jet cafes, Canyon, and the new South restaurant in Pompano. Definitely a happening and busy place. Kimberly, our server was great, knowledgeable and attentive. Started with the Fried Calamari, Peppers, Romesco Sauce, and Lemon . Unfortunately it was over fried, way too crispy. For mains, i opted for the Seared Tuna, Togarahi , Crusted Tuna, Crisp Sticky Rice Patty Cilantro, Wok Vegetables, and Wasabi Crema with a Ponzu Vinaigrette. Superb My wife chose the Seared Scallops, Corn Puree, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Scallion, Wild Mushrooms, and Vanilla-Lemon Brown Butter. She enjoyed it. For dessert, the Peanut Butter Pie Creamy Peanut Butter, Chocolate Topping, and Fresh Whipped Cream. Fantastic. Very nice but small wine list. For a fun dining experience, you must try YOT Bar & Kitchen.

    Big black flies hovering and annoying us during our entire meal completely ruined our experience! How about buying some bug zappers?! Pitiful beer selection. My tasty tilefish entree arrived warm, not hot. Very noisy guests made it challenging to have a conversation with my friend. Servers did try hard, and were cheerful — but that didn’t salvage the situation. Cannot imagine returning to YOT.

    Great spot. Food is always good. The flatbread pizza, chicken wings, and grilled chicken salad were all delicious choices for our party of 4. There is no bad spot to sit, both inside and outside are great seating opinions. Paul is an amazing waiter.

    Everything was just OK. Nice restaurant, very nice people, but difficult to get to, all you have is a view of other peoples, crazy, expensive yachts, and the food was just OK. Not worth the price.

    Excellent food, especially the brussels sprouts. Cannot wait to go back. The servers and staff exceedingly make things happen consistently. So refreshing to go there. The daytime dockmaster needs a little charm school, but otherwise just fine :-)

    The food was awful.... I couldn't even eat it. The bartender couldn't get my drink right after two tries, I just said forget it, weird! The waiter was inattentive plus Leo getting out orders wrong on top of which the food took forever, I won't go back

    Location is nice but lately the food is not the same. Every time I go something is wrong. Last time service was super slow. Today I ordered shrimp and grits and only got the grits and then it took forever to correct it but of course my friends started to eat already.... not cool. They offered a small discount but only because I asked...

    The food was delicious. 2 of us ordered the “silver lining” salad. It was loaded with all kinds of goodies. One of us had it with chicken like on the menu, the other had it with salmon. The portions were huge. The third person had the YOT burger with fries. The burger was cooked perfectly as ordered. Service was great! Atmosphere so nice. We sat on the outside deck.

    This is an ok place to have a bloody Mary and snacks. The servers are some good and some very inexperienced so the service will depend on who you get. Even though they don't offer a great experience, their prices are not inexpensive.
