Food and wine are always great. Our server was nice and attentive. Food came quickly and super hot. The noise level is always a bit of an issue at this location. I noticed they have added some noise absorbing panels in the upper ceiling however, it’s still an issue if you’re trying to have a private conversation.

About the restaurant
Le Yaca began in 1964 in Courchevel, a tiny, country village in the French Alps. Daniele Bourderau & Gerard decided it would be fun to open a small restaurant. When friends learned of their plans, they told the hopeful restaurateurs they were crazy to think people would drive eight kilometers on a winding, icy road for dinner. Daniele and Gerard hesitated for three months and then decided, “yaca le faire,” a contraction of the French phrase “il n’y a qu’a le faire,” which basically means, “let’s do it.” They called the restaurant Le Yaca as a gag, but the name caught on with customers who were amused by the pun and contributed to the restaurant’s lore by inventing “yaca-isms” of their own: yaca y aller (let’s go). Daniele came to the United States and opened Le Yaca in Williamsburg. Daniel Abid bought Le Yaca in 2001. Daniel worked and trained in such prestigious places as “Le Pre Catelan” and “Lenotre” in Paris; “L’Amandier” and “Roger Verge," and to top it all off, “Alain Ducass

It had been a while since we dined at Maggiano’s Little Italy Restaurant in Short Pump, VA. I was able to quickly get a reservation on Open Table. We had an excellent server, Angela, who has been working there since 2003. We had an exceptional meal. We had the Italian meat balls appetizer, Caesar salad, Italian salad and both had chicken parmigiana. We have never had chicken so moist that we could cut it with a fork and the sauce was delicious!! We enjoyed a bottle of the Borrigiano, Super Tuscan. Highly recommend dining at this restaurant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

About the restaurant

To Our Guests:
The amount of guests that you make a reservation for is what you will have available. Example: If you make a reservation for 4 guests and put in the notes that you need a table for 8 guests- you will not have a table for 8 guests but only for 4 guests that you made the reservation for.

Seats at the bar itself are NOT able to be reserved- they are very limited and are first come first serve. If you book the bar tables on Opentable- the reservation will be for the tables in the lounge that are located behind the bar.

Seats on the patio are also NOT able to be reserved. If a reservation is made and in the notes you have requested outside or patio this does not guarantee you an outside table.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

My wife and I enjoyed our meal on a quiet Saturday evening. The food, drinks, and service were very good. We split the fried green tomato appetizer, and then got a few bites into our delicious entrees (she had the meatloaf and I had the smothered chicken) and we were already full! I would definitely come back.

Our server we excellent. Apps were fantastic - server recommended the fried green tomatoes and the brussels, both of which didn’t it disappoint! One of us had the steak - good flavor, cooked correctly but it was terribly tough. I think it was just a bad cut of meat, nothing that the restaurant did. Other entree was the black cod with orzo which was amazing. Will definitely be back!

The Tinsel & Tequila cocktails were some of the best I’ve had for a Christmas pop-up menu, well prepared and much more enjoyable than other restaurants in Richmond. The empanadas were fresh and hot, and we loved the Casa Crunch Burrito. I recommend a stop by for happy hour at the bar, or for dinner before a night out with friends.

Loved our dinner here. The cocktails were interesting and expertly crafted. Every dish received the same attention to detail and was outstanding. The duck came at the medium rare requested on a silky squash puree and the halibut was hands down my favorite dish this year.

We were staying at The Georges, so decided to give their in-house restaurant a try. Delighted we did! Very intimate setting with a wonderful piano player to add to the ambiance. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Drinks - a Manhattan and an Aviation - were well crafted. We had a crab cocktail and a ceviche for appetizers. Both were fresh and tasty. Entrees of a ribeye and a filet were so tender we used our regular knives - no need for a steak knife. Would definitely recommend!
