   Ever since we found Le Yaca a year ago on a trip to Colonial Williamsburg, they earned a place on our “must do” lists. The service is impeccable - the food perfectly prepared - somehow managing to be imaginative and classic at the same time. The restaurant is beautiful as well. Cocktails were generous and the prix fixe menu will give you pause, with all the incredible options. Also of note: every single staff person seemed genuinely pleased to have us as guests. Smiles, greetings, and thanks made us feel welcomed into a place they were proud to represent.

   I have been going to Le Yaca for years! Their food is amazing and nothing compares. I was disappointed in Paris actually because I compared everything I ate to Le Yaca and nothing came close. That’s why it’s my all time favorite restaurant.

   Le Yaca never disappoints! Another exceptional meal with impeccable service. Always my choice for special occasions ( or any occasion , for that matter). Treat yourself!

   Our first meal at Le Yaca will be long remembered. The onion soup is amazing was were the crab crepes. The lemon sauce on the stuffed flounder was to die for. The creme brûlée was just perfect. A lovely place for an elegant meal.

   Food is not as great as it was with previous owners (I understand it changed ownership in 2022 and the food was fantastic prior to that). My husband took a few bites of the pork and stopped eating it. Scallops were OK but one was not cleaned to get all the sand off of it. We were seated in the bar area at a table and could barely hear our server or each other due to a loud obnoxious idiot at the bar counter which was full of other people. We should have asked to be seated in one of the other 4 rooms and would have had a much more enjoyable experience. I wonder why we were seated there since there were many empty tables in the other areas. I don't think we will be returning.

   The catch of the day special was flounder, prepared with a beautiful balance of other flavors: crab, lemon butter, watercress, and skinned tomatoes in a rich sauce blanc. All of the dishes were well plated and the service was attentive but never intrusive; I appreciate that all five of us received our courses at once, and that no one’s plate and setting disappeared before all were finished eating!

   Le Yaca provided us with an exceptional dining experience. Not only was our food outstanding, the service was impeccable, and the restaurant was very quiet even though the tables around us were occupied. A very memorable experience.

   This is by far the best French restaurant! The food is always unbelievable, both taste and presentation, and the service is impeccable. When we are in Williamsburg we always book a table at Le Yaca. We usually order from the prix fixe menu where the selection is excellent but we also have had their specials. Everything is super and the bread is to die for ❤️
