    We enjoy dining at NYA and go there every couple of months. The food is great, I had the baked haddock and my wife had jambalya. The service is also great, Oksana is an excellent server and Brian is a great manager.

    We love the place. The corned beef dinner was a huge hit, the chicken piccata was a little salty, but still delicious. The staff are all amazing, but on this visit, server Meile and manager Brian were even better than they always are, making our visit even more special. Please bring back the crême brûlée! Black plastic is not recyclable.

    We used to love NYA Joe’s. But this was a bad visit. Everything was insanely salty. And I had asked for no salt on my side vegetables…instead the spinach was so salty it was inedible. Dirty plates weren’t cleared in a timely manner. The pizza wasn’t good. Coleslaw was terrible….gobs of mayonnaise! Our server was nice but not a great server. Maybe he was new? The bread on my Cape Cod Reuben was supposed to be toasted…instead it was burned. I only ate the filling. No one asked us how everything was. Such a disappointment. We won’t be in any hurry to go back.

    Our server was fantastic! He really made the evening! We can’t remember his name, but we let the front desk know how great he was on our way out. Food was totally fine. But when you have such great service it all tastes better!

    Great unobtrusive service while we caught up after not having seen each other of a few months. Food was fabulous and these things are why we keep returning to this location. Thank you.

    Our server Amy was so patient while we grabbed all night! The Ahi tuna bowl was excellent. As always, the focaccia and dip was superb

    Took more than 30 minutes for our food to arrive and seemed like it had been sitting for a while.

    The food was not good at all. Best thing was the French fries. Burger was dry. Pizza wasn’t cooked enough underneath. Fish and chips over cooked. The Korean chicken tenders just had some sauce which wasn’t really good either. Our waiter apparently left and didn’t tell us so we had to flag someone down after 15 mins to get our check. Lastly we had a 730 reservation and the whole waiting area was cleared out before we were sat at 7:45. I asked for bar seating on my reservation and they put me at a table in the dining room so we had to wait again. We were seriously the only people of color in the entire restaurant…weird. Won’t be returning
