   It’s a great alternative to restaurants in colonial Williamsburg. The staff was very warm. The dishes were excellent and authentic. The ingredients were fresh. We well definitely come back.

   I had an excellent meal for my birthday. Absolutely the best value in Williamsburg. 4 course meal including drink for $45.00 can’t be beat.

   Le Yaca lived up to all the hype on social media, Trip Advisor, Yelp, and Open Table. I had booked our reservations 7 months out in advance of our Thanksgiving trip to Williamsburg. Every aspect of our dining experience was great. Check in was easy and pleasant and we were seated promptly. Our server, Gail was cheerful, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and professional. She guided us through the considerable selections and offered the special Belon oyster appetizer to add to our choices. The menu offered the choice of ordering à la carte, 2, 3 ($50 or $65 options), or 5 courses ($90). We opted for the 3 course selection (1 @ $50, 1 @ $65). My choice included a unique preparation of French onion soup (so velvety, cheesy and delicious!), a delicate, flavorful exquisitely prepared Scottish salmon with a buttery lemon sauce and thin, peeled lemon garnish served over a bed of perfectly cooked spinach. Good to the last delectable bite! My husband also enjoyed the French onion soup starter, then the coquilles St. Jacques, a beautifully baked dish of large scallops perfectly cooked with a cheesy crust. Asparagus was an accompaniment. We had also ordered a combination of baked and raw Belon oysters to share. Both were excellent—raw were sweet and plump; baked were also sweet served in a delicate light lemony butter sauce. Desserts were also good. One tiramisu and one very light lemon chiffon concoction served with strawberries and raspberry coulis. Le Yaca—a must for an exceptional dinner! Ask for Gail as your server. She was great!

   This restaurant is an absolute gem! The decor is beautiful and elegant but not stuffy. The service is attentive without being intrusive. The food is expertly prepared and delicious. We visit Colonial Williamsburg once a year and Le Yaca will now be a must dining stop for us!

   We have eaten at La Yaca for many years. I have never had a bad meal and the service is fantastic. We especially appreciate our waiter Ming. Thus is a wonderful restaurant for special gatherings or just to treat yourself.

   Ever since we found Le Yaca a year ago on a trip to Colonial Williamsburg, they earned a place on our “must do” lists. The service is impeccable - the food perfectly prepared - somehow managing to be imaginative and classic at the same time. The restaurant is beautiful as well. Cocktails were generous and the prix fixe menu will give you pause, with all the incredible options. Also of note: every single staff person seemed genuinely pleased to have us as guests. Smiles, greetings, and thanks made us feel welcomed into a place they were proud to represent.

   I have been going to Le Yaca for years! Their food is amazing and nothing compares. I was disappointed in Paris actually because I compared everything I ate to Le Yaca and nothing came close. That’s why it’s my all time favorite restaurant.

    Le Yaca never disappoints! Another exceptional meal with impeccable service. Always my choice for special occasions ( or any occasion , for that matter). Treat yourself!
