Went there on our last night of vacation & what a perfect restaurant to go to! From the moment we arrived the hostess was pleasant, our waiter was pleasant & knowledgeable. The menu offered lots of options. Both of our meals were excellent. No long wait times for appetizers or the main courses. I based going here from the reviews here on Open Table & it definitely lived up to the hype. Next time we’re in town we will absolutely be back! If you haven’t been there yet, make a point to go! Last, for every Open Table reservation we made this week, I indicated we were celebrating a birthday. YOLO IS THE ONLY RESTAURANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT! Del Fresco’s & IT Italy did not! Makes me wonder if they really read the info from Open Table? So make your reservation now to YOLO, you won’t regret it!

Everything was perfect so was our waiter. Just didn’t like that the toma hawk steak came out after everyone else was near done with their meal. So majority of table didn’t eat together.

Great food. Went on a Friday night around 10:30 PM, so it was pretty packed. A lot of people standing around but the ambience was nice. Service was good. Only waited about 15 minutes past my reservation time to get a table. Would definitely go again.

We ordered a flatbread, two filet mignons, potatoes au gratin, garlicky greens, and a Mediterranean salad with chicken. The food was all good, especially the steaks. Our waitress on the other hand seemed like she didn't want to be there. She was dismissive, walked away while we were asking for things, and responded to us like an annoyed teenager (even though she was probably about 30 years old). It did make dinner less enjoyable.

The food was ok not great not bad. The portion of the meats seemed not in line with the descriptions. The sides were room temperature and our waiter while very good had too many tables. It’s more of an experience than a dinning event.
