   Been a fan of YaYa's a/ka/ Yia Yia's for several years and always love it. Hadn't been there since last October, but I and my longtime girlfriend went on St Pats day, which is also our anniversary, For the first time in a long time we were disappointed in the food quality and the price relative to portion size. The Hummus appetizer, long a favorite, had shrunk in size and also was a different, not as good, recipe. We each opted for their corned beef and brussell sprouts cabbage special entree, and were also disappointed. The portion of corned beef was very limited. Mine was very tasty however, so the question was really the prize. My girlfriend's however, was very very fatty, to the point where frankly she should have sent it back. Still loved the atmosphere, and our server (Kerry or Carey?) was very nice, personable and prompt. The shrimp appetizer, though a bit pricey, was as delectable as ever. Don't know if this was just an off experience, of if the Ya Yas we knew and love has evolved downward. Definitely not giving up on this place, and will try it again and report back... Hoping this was a one-off. As an aside, one last thing that I think is actually an OpenTable thing, rather than a Ya Ya's thing, , and it really doesn't matter cuz it was not important at all, and is more humorous than anything... but when making the opentable reservation the system asked if it was a special occassion and provided "clickable" options, one of which was "Anniversary". Since it asked, I clicked it. However, at the restaurant there was no mention, or acknowledgement, and the person who sat us and our server were totally unaware... So, I ponder, why ask? .

   They were out of several items we tried to order at 6 pm! When the food came a few of the orders were incorrect. Used to be one of our favorite restaurants, but in the last couple of years, it has been very hit and miss.

   Delicious feta appetizer, bruschetta was a bit too crunchy. The steak and chicken were yummy, but it took long to get the food as it was busy. Pretty loud which made a conversation at our table difficult but the food was worth it! Mariam was great!

   Ya Ya’S has been consistently excellent since its inception. It’s a very friendly atmosphere with excellent food and service. I highly recommend it.
