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

    A truly delightful Valentine's Day dinner: > The lobster/steak entre was excellent, prepared exactly as we requested, and the wine recommendations were perfect pairings. >We were delighted with our server Omar, who was both very professional and delightfully personable -- a wonderful combination. > The ambiance added enormously to our enjoyment: the decorations, including appropriate lighting, "flower petals" on the tables and festive balloons around the dining rooms - and the placement of the tables -- which was uncrowded, but near enough to others that by then end of the evening, wonderful conversations were had among people (previously strangers to each other) sitting at tables nearby one another.

    Plenty of greens in the family-style salad. My husband and I wondered if we would be able to eat it all. We ate 3/4th of it. The fried chicken had great flavor and the beef was tender. The veggies were cooked just right. The texture was medium - not raw and not overcooked- just right. The strawberry cream dessert was light and refreshing. We were very satisfied.
