   My wife and I went to Yabba grill on June 4th for my wife’s birthday. And I have to say the experience was very pleasant. The food was very good. I had a filet and lobster tail, the steak was extremely tender and the lobster never disappoints. My wife had (can’t remember the type of fish) but it was stuffed with crab and I had a taste and it was exceptional. Our waiter Keyan was very attentive and extremely friendly. Great job Keyan. Definitely recommend and will be back.

   Has two dollar signs in open table but is more like 3 or 4.
   

   Yabba Island GrillResponded 6 days agoThank you for the review and your concern about what open table reviews Yabba in terms of $$. , which is something beyond our control. We at Yabba price our products on fair market analysis and surrounding restaurants and find them to be comparable if not cheaper than our competitors in the local area.

   Great evening at Yabba’s. The food was excellent and going for early dining makes the experience much more affordable. Our servers, Justin and Drew, were terrific! We celebrated a friend’s 90th birthday with a lovely ice cream dessert complete with candle and a card from Yabba’s management! Very special!

    If you like fish, just go ahead get the chef special. It is awesome and it is so flavorful. The only drawback are the deserts. But don’t worry you can walk down the street to coffee shops or ice cream places. They do need to add at least 1 decadent desert. Their key lime pie is good. Overall this is my favorite restaurant on 5th Ave

    Went for the early bird dining. Should be called speed dining! You must order everything at the same time. Had about 5+ minutes between courses. Note that appetizers are huge and can be shared but, it's our fault for not asking, as it's not noted on the menu. Appetizers, salad, soup were good/average. Grouper stuffed with crab was ok. Service was excellent both at the bar and table.

Great atmosphere when you sit on the patio to people watch on 5th. Always a "Go-To" spot especially when you have guests from out of town. We'll be back.

    I had made the reservation to celebrate my brother and sister in law 35th wedding anniversary. I noted that in the comments and hoped to make their anniversary special. We started with the shrimp, crab and corn chowder soup and a tuna roll. All excellent. My sister in law had the lamb shank and loved every morsel of it. She raved about how good it was. My brother opted for the beef medallions medium rare. They arrived overcooked and the restaurant quickly replaced them. However, he lost the accompanying onion rings when the dish was returned to him. The crispy crab stuffed grouper was excellent. We opted for the coconut cream pie for dessert along with a key lime pie. Other than our server wishing our guests a happy anniversary, there was no other special recognition for them, which surprised me. A simple little streamer on the table or a card/note acknowledging their special occasion would have added a nice touch and made the evening more memorable for them. Other than that, we enjoyed our meal.
    

    Yabba Island GrillResponded on May 26, 2023Thank you for the review, and I apologize that we missed the mark on the medallions and the onion rings. Thanks for taking the time to tell me about certain service related issues, that will be addressed with all wait staff. As for the anniversary we do give the party an anniversary card signed by the staff when we are made aware of the occassion, so that being said I sincerely apologize for this. Hope to see you again so we can show you we are better than this.

    We went for the early dining. Salmon was good, Veges were really good however the coconut shrimp were small and overcooked with very little coconut flavor and the sauce was not flavorful. For years we were regulars here but they got rid of everything that we loved. Their sesame tuna steak , the crispy string beans and the Yabba salad from years ago with the banana dressing. Wish they would bring those back as regular menu items and I would be there all the time.

    The restaurant was not even half full, yet they sat us right on top of two other tables. My chair was kicked four times while the other table got up and down throughout dinner, no apology. I should of asked for another table when we arrived. Service was good but monotone and disengaged. I felt like I was an inconvenience to the restaurant. Food was hot and fresh. Wine list simply overpriced. Being a full time resident in the area, I will not frequent this place with so many other choices around…..

    We had an excellent experience at Yabba's. We took advantage of their early dining menu and the food and service were wonderful. Their main menu is quite pricey but early dining provided 25-50% of those prices which made it more reasonable. Drinks were pricey as well and unfortunately there was no discount on them so it was still an expensive dining experience. The food was outstanding and our server Ryan was very helpful in making our selections and provided great service.

    I loved the food and the service. However at the table I wanted a glass of Chardonnay the lowest price for one by the glass was $16.00. After having two I ended paying more for two glasses of wine than my entire wonderful dinner. I would think you would have a house Chardonnay and my friend had a vodka drink and it was $19.00.

    Amazing food - absolutely delicious and served piping hot. Michigan Michelle, our server, was attentive and not pushy. She recommended the chef's creation with sea bass and it was so delicious I was amazed. So happy she recommended that over the sea bass that I could have made to order. My date, a man who rarely compliments the food he ingests, made at least 4 different comments about how the meal was a 10/10! My new go-to favorite. The servers, the food, the prices - all good. (Full disclosure we went earlier to get favorable pricing of our food). Try the guacamole - you will not be sorry! And if ordering a salad, try their Balsamic dressing - the best balsamic I've ever tasted. I've eaten at 4-star Michelin restaurants before and this was, by far, the most delicious salad dressing I've ever had.

    I was disappointed as I called and asked if they had 20% off their menu and was told yes. Only to find out I was given incorrect information. The manager would not honor it/said the office gave out wrong information. We were entertaining visitors-so it cost a lot more than anticipated.
    

    Yabba Island GrillResponded on April 21, 2023We offer different promotions at Yabba, first there is an Early Dining deal (50% off the entire menu from 5-:530pm) available in the dining room, then we offer a 25% off Bar Menu all night long every day at the bar and lastly, we have a 20% off Your Entire Check for our Loyalty Club members on Sunday - Thursday for the entire month of April. You were asking me to honor the Bar Menu in the dining room which is something that is not offered and the only thing I told you we couldn't honor.
