   Steak was ordered Ned rare, was med well at best. They offered to redo it but I don’t like not eating at the same time as my wife. Also special was grossly over priced, if a 12 filet is $52, a 9oz with 3 scallops shouldn’t be $85. Priced not wired.

   I had dinner with a female friend celebrating her birthday, and it felt like we were invisible to our waiter. I don't know if it was because we were two women on a Saturday night or if our waiter was having a bad day, but he was rude, mumbled when he spoke, and wasn't a bit friendly. He seemed unaware that it was my friend's birthday, even though another staffer (a manager?) called her the "birthday girl". I had to ask if there was any recognition of her birthday, and then the waiter brought a complimentary dessert. But aside from that, the food was good and the ambiance was pleasant, so I would still recommend this restaurant.

   Skyrocketing prices and lower quality! This has been my neighborhood go to place for the past 14 years. Unfortunately things change and I will be crossing this establishment off my list as there are better competing venues in the neighborhood. In the last year, they have raised prices on items over 50% and have decreased portion size. In the past I could always count on the prior GM - Jason Duffy to come by each table to say hello. The new GM- Brett has the personality of a frog. I had to ask for him to come by the table and he acted like that was beneath him to do so. He told me that he had personally decided to raise prices as food costs have gone up and he has to give his employees a decent wage. Yes, other establishments have had to raise their prices also but not by 50%. This establishment is not on the same tier as Eddie V's, Ocean Prime, Shanahans, or Delfresco's no matter what GM-"Brett" believes. Talking with some of the staff that I have known for the past 14 years echos the same sentiments about the new manager. They have always had a livable wage or wouldn't have worked there for as long as they have had. Sad to see so many empty tables on a Friday night! Perhaps the new owner will realize this before it is too late.

   Our server, Rachel, was fantastic!!!!!! Our cocktails were delicious. The hummus was delicious. I got the roasted chicken and it was disappointing. It was cooked to perfection, but wasn’t seasoned or marinated. It was not good. The crispy potatoes were perfection. My husband had the chicken carbonara pasta with homemade noodles. He said everything was great except the chicken. He said it was not seasoned. I would come for appetizers and cocktails, but I’m not in any hurry to eat dinner there again… unless they start seasoning their chicken.

    I’m been going to this restaurant since it first opened. It was always reliable and consistent. Obviously they are under new management and they have a new chef! They’re known for their chicken dish it was not the same.. Waitress had attitude.

    Everything was okay, not excellent though. Steak was too rare and needed to be cooked longer. But overall, the food was good. Employees was too busy to smile. A little bit more effort will make a huge difference. Thanks.

    My significant other and I went for their Sunday brunch buffet. We made a reservation for shortly after they opened and were pleasantly surprised that it was not crazy busy yet. The buffet had a nice assortment of breakfast and brunch items that the chefs kept as fresh as possible. My favorite items were the mussels in a wine cream sauce, scrambled eggs florentine, roasted potatoes, berries & cream french toast and mini creme brule. Our server, Rachel, was spectacular and attentive without being overbearing. We will definitely be back!

    My wife and I arrived early for dinner (5pm) on a Saturday (we are senior citizens). The staff was attentive, courteous and very considerate of our needs. All the food was excellent: I had the scallops; my wife was hungry for a pepperoni pizza. Special mention must go to the panna cotta dessert.

    The only detractor from an otherwise nice evening was our waiter. He was not engaged and was inattentive. He was extremely mediocre. I ordered a Malbec and I got a Cab. I waited so long for my second glass that I ordered that I got the bus guy to get it for me. Despite not speaking great English, he was more attentive than our waiter...kudos to him. The food was good and came out quickly. Everything else was good. I like Ya Ya's and this won't stop me returning.

    I have been going to Yayas for some years now and food has been pretty consistent. However, on Monday I went to a business lunch there and unfortunately, I am regretting my choice this time. While the servers were attentive and talkative the food was terrible. I have never had a stake tips sandwich bread more stale than that. I would have had a better sandwich at McDonalds. The rest of the food was bland and really not what I remember Yaya's to be... Yaya's should seriously reconsider their operations in this regard, because they WILL lose their business customers. They certainly lost me.

    We went to Ya-Yas for lunch. It is nearby and we were hoping with the warm weather the patio might be open. It was not. Hostess was pleasant and asked if we wanted a booth or table. We wanted a booth. She took us to the last table as far back as possible. Ok. The waiter appeared and said water would follow. It did - in tiny glasses - that smelled bad. We asked for larger glasses and straws - like the table next to us had. Hummus & pita was fabulous. Olives, feta a bit of heat from the chili oil, but (you knew there would be a bit) there was SO MUCH black pepper on the pita my eyes watered. My daughter brushed off every triangle she ate into the small silver plate found at the top of every table (what are they for?). Hummus is the perfect starter. New larger water glasses finally arrived. Tanner returned and took our order Lamb gyro with fries Angel hair pomodoro Greek salad Gyro was delicious. The fries were perfect. The pickle was under the gyro holder & unnecessary. It was more floppy than crisp. The plate it was served on was TOO SMALL. Very attractive presentation on a rectangle plate that was maybe 3x9 and too small for so much yumminess. Angel hair was delicious. Really good. A little black pepper would have worked here. More basil too. The micro greens were pretty and unnecessary. I would have preferred the basil and a piece of bread or pita to mop up all of the tomato left floating on the bottom of the dish. The Greek salad was a lot of designer lettuce, 8-10 cucumber halves, seven olives, a sprinkling of tiny diced tomato (similar to what was in the pomodoro) some slices of purple onion and the skimpiest amount of feta crumbles ever encountered. Minuscule. Microscopic. No hunks. No chunks. I asked for the dressing on the side. WRONG dressing. I received some type of honey mustard, not a vinaigrette. All that came through was the mustard taste. Disappointing. The star of a Greek should be hunks of feta. PS - the restaurant smelled funky.

    Our server was attentive in a creepy way. I ordered a Greek salad with salmon. Wanted the salmon cooked through - medium plus. The salmon came out undercooked. I sent it back to get cooked more. It came back still under cooked.

    Salad was all lettuce, not much feta cheese, tomato or cucumber. Hummus was okay - so loaded with garlic it felt like my mouth was burned. Not the same quality I have experienced at YaYa’s before. Wouldn’t rush back!

    We had a wonderful dining experience. Our waiter David was outstanding; very attentive, personable and funny. He was very concerned of my dietary restrictions as well, which was very comforting to me. We were visited by management to ensure everything was to our liking. I have dined here many times. Truly one of my favorite restaurants.
