First time at Ya Ya and it did not disappoint! The food was excellent and the ambiance is very nice. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate and we weren’t able to enjoy the rear patio. The restaurant features a lovely bar. I am a self described vodka snob and I would encourage consideration for a better selection. We sat in the private room and it afforded us a more intimate dining experience. Valet and the woman who greeted us did a great job. Give Ya Ya a try, it won’t disappoint.

Ridiculous check in as they use both Resy and OT hence I’m being told oh your Rez was for 11:45 when it fact it was 3pm 🙄 Then I’m being shown to a 2 top table despite an empty restaurant and tons of shopping bags plus our cute doggie… Robots shouldn’t be at the front ! ! Food delicious but even more pricey .

we were a group of 7 and hostess was very helpful in finding us a table that we liked on a very busy Saturday night. Then our server was also very accommodating and patient. The food was very good and overall was a very nice experience. The food came out so fast and wish they would slow it down a bit.....
