   The chop was not cooked, the server did not come back for the two minute check back. The side salad was terrible. The good items from the past are off the menu. The booth seats are so old that there is no cushion. The server was not wanting to be there. There were not enough valet guys. Was a great spot a couple years ago, has gone down hill.

   Half the parking spaces were blocked with orange traffic cones to be reserved for valet parking, but there was no valet working.

   Service was great! Rachel was attentive and lovely. But we were so disappointed with the food…. I ordered the Lamb Gyro pizza and it was basically a cooked crust, with the lamb and veges and sauce just strewn on after…. Nothing was cooked in or baked. My hubby’s pepperoni pizza fared no better. We had creme brulee for dinner and it was pretty bland, kinda mealy in texture.

   We went for Sunday brunch at noon. Many of the food containers were empty or almost empty -- potatoes, green salads, gravy. Biscuits were cold and hard, frittata was cold, and food that was available was unseasoned and poorly cooked. Mimosa was made with pasteurized/boxed orange juice and tasted bad, and bloody Mary was watered down and served with no garnish -- not even a celery stick. We were embarrassed to have taken guests there. Restaurant appears to be under new management or ownership and is merely a shadow of what it was a year ago. We will not go back for any meal or any occasion.

    I feel like Ya Yas has been in steady decline over the past two years. At least in regard to their lunch offerings. Dinner may still be a higher standard, but lunch and Brunch has been extremely underwhelming. The one bright spot was our server, he was exceptional. The food was decent “bar” food at best. There was an off smell at the entrance, possibly an issue in the restrooms. We’ve been dining at Ya Ya’s a couple times a year for the better part of the last decade, mostly for dinner. We may try again at dinner to see if it’s just the lunch offerings that are poor, however, we may not be back altogether.

    It was Christmas Eve and was very busy but so is any Saturday night. Service was Okay but not up to normal par. I had lamb shank and it was warm when it arrived but not hot. Also needed a little lamb broth or something on it as it was a little dry. The room was also cold and I wasn’t too close to the outside door.

    Ask them why they are charging 3% "KAF". It will make you laugh. Kitchen appreciation fund. These people are stupid. They do not understand basic economics. That 3% came out of the waitresses tip. KAF is an insult. I won't be back. Either they will come to understand basic food service economics and customer service, or they will drive their customers away, after continually cutting into wait staff tips. It's illegal for them to charge you for their KAF, then tax you on it. Demand that they remove KAF charge and tax from your bill!

    A Christmas Eve surprise! Normally, when you dine out on a Holiday (Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, etc.) you encounter people who don't eat out often and refuse to turn the table, an overworked and inattentive staff, and sub-standard performance from the kitchen. Definitely not the case at YaYa's. Brett Daugherty (General Manager & Somm) was everywhere and everything to the patrons: patient, knowledgeable about the 400 wines in their inventory, and attentive to detail. The kitchen was on-point with their filet and lobster. Perfect temperature and presented well. Tanner was a very personable server. There is a reason we have gone for years!

    Love Yaya's. Terrific wine selection by the glass and bottles as well. Unassuming nonfussy atmosphere with very good food. Had the red pepper soup and the truffle mushroom pizza, the latter of which was much better than the last time I had had it (may be a new variation!). No pressure to finish dining within a certain time. Homey without being a 'family' restaurant so easy to have 'adult' time without children around. Will keep coming back!

    One of us had the hero pizza and the other had the seafood tagliatelle. Both were excellent(some would think that is an oxymoron with pizza).

    We went for Sunday brunch at around 12:30 pm. The restaurant was clearing out by then, but our server was still nowhere to be found for most of our meal. No refills on the "bottomless" mimosas because she never came back until we were ready to leave. The food was mostly cold, and for the price there were relatively few choices. Shrimp tasted like chemicals, prime rib was dry and flabby. The restaurant itself was so noisy that we might as well have been eating in a manufacturing plant. I was sorry to have wasted our Christmas celebration here.

    Sunday brunch definitely need a reservation. The staggering of time to be seated leads to no line and a continued flow of people attending the buffet. The bottomless Mimosas are fabulous. There is a fresh crapes station but no fresh omelet station (I would have preferred) and the only option for eggs was a green chili egg soufflé. All and all a good brunch buffet.
