    I’ve been to this restaurant before and had a great experience, so I was excited to return. Unfortunately, this visit was a huge disappointment. The food was not up to par at all. We both ordered filet mignon and it was incredibly tough—almost impossible to cut, which completely ruined the meal. To make matters worse, the service was subpar. Our waitress never checked on us after the food was served. My water glass was empty for the entirety of the meal. When we asked for the check, she didn’t even notice that we did not eat most of our food. She didn’t inquire about why we hadn’t eaten much or ask if there was something wrong with the food. I was really disappointed, especially considering how good my previous experience was. This time, it felt like the restaurant didn’t care about delivering quality food or service.

    I’ve been a loyal patron at Yolan for dinner for quite some time now. Needless to say, it is excellent. I knew the brunch experience at Cafe Yolan would not disappoint, but it actually exceeded my expectations. Everything from start to finish was perfection. The staff was extremely attentive today, going out of their way to have personal conversations and provide 5-star service, and the food was chef’s kiss. We had the pumpkin pie French toast (a must!), the short rib hash, the Nashville hot chicken Benedict, and the applewood bacon (possibly the best bacon I’ve ever tasted?!) Not a single dish was a miss. And the cherry on top was our incredible server Jenna gifting us one of their Chai scones to go… could have eaten ten! Yolan never disappoints. It was already a staple for dinner, but is now at the top of my list for brunch spots in town.

    The hotel is beautiful and so is the restaurant. Our server was very nice however the person who filled our water never even acknowledged us which was weird. Both of our plates were mediocre at best. We both had to salt and pepper our plates which we never do. I had the short rib hash which was in a gravy and he had the hot chicken Benedict. Also when we needed water or refreshment again it took a while. My French toast was good however the chocolate whiskey cake looked like a mini bday cake and barely had any flavor. I just assumed at a 5 star hotel the restaurant would be more than average. Very disappointed.
