    We visited the YOLO restaurant for brunch with another couple, and while the ambiance was nice, there were several issues that affected our experience. Firstly, our waiter seemed quite distracted and focused more on the tables with only women. This resulted in subpar service for our table. He forgot multiple items we requested, including drinks and condiments, and it took a long time for these items to arrive. Additionally, we were disappointed to find out that the bottomless mimosa offer ended at 2:45 PM, which was not communicated to us beforehand or mentioned on the menu. It felt unfair, especially since we were still finishing our food well past that time, 3PM. The Pinot noir ordered was too warm for its correct temperature. On a positive note, the music and outdoor seating were pleasant, and the food itself was good. However, given the service issues, we might consider visiting again only with friends to avoid a similar experience.

    I recently visited Yolo Restaurant for the first time, and I had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was delightful, the food was delicious, and the service from the waitress was exceptional. I'm definitely considering a return trip!
