    Although we had a reservation for 9pm, we had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated, then was rushed to order being told that the kitchen closes at 10pm. The food was really good but the initial impression left much to be desired.

    YOLO truly delivered a phenomenal birthday dinner experience! We started with the octopus and tuna tartare — both were absolutely incredible. The steak with truffle au gratin potatoes was rich and indulgent, while the trout was equally impressive. Their smoked Old Fashioned is a unique highlight — we loved customizing it. Service was exceptional — our server was attentive, informed, and made our evening feel special. They even surprised us with birthday donuts and a candle. Great food, excellent drinks, and a lively atmosphere. Highly recommend booking a table here!

    Our server was so rude basically insinuated our friend had an eating disorder was very short and passive aggressive. Very clear we were a table of 8 so gratuity was already included so he didn’t care how he treated. 5/8 people are servers and can’t believe someone would treat a table that way. Maybe he should look for a different career one not in public.
