    This was our first time at YOLO. It was a great experience. Our waiter was very good and the atmosphere was really nice! We had 3 apps - tuna tartare, octopus, and ceviche. They were all delicious! I had salmon for my entree. It was cooked perfectly and I enjoyed it. We will definitely go back and will recommend YOLO to anyone looking for good food and a nice evening out!

    The place was beautiful, the food was really great and our server was wonderful. My only issue is that we made an 8pm reservation for outside. When we arrived they said we had to wait a few min, which was about 10min. And then they took us to a table that was inside, right infront of the entrance. I complained because we made an outdoor reservation months ago and they said that it would be another 20-30 min wait to sit outside. We couldn’t wait that long as we had other plans afterwards so I was dissapointed in that. Otherwise very good experience and nice place
