   We arrived at 7:15 and left by 9:45. Our server was rarely available and was very ready to get off of her shift - she kept going to the hostess stand and looking at her phone and then looking at herself in her camera...lol. The salad was great, but the rest of our food was terrible. We had the Chicken Souvlaki, which came out in such large pieces that I'm pretty sure it was an entire chicken thigh folded over! No white meat at all and it was not well cooked. The Tuna Tartare was so covered in sesame oil, that was all you could taste. We asked for some pita to eat it with for over an hour and never got any. The other staff did not speak English, so when we asked for Pita for the 5th time, we got a to-go box. But the best... was that there was no music playing...but about every 10-20 minutes the "Happy Birthday" song blared through the speakers. It was so loud and shocking the first time, I jumped. Well...they played it another 9 times while we were there. It was so annoying that the tables on both sides of us left early. We asked our server if there were truly that many birthdays in the room during our 2-hour stay and she rolled her eyes and said "Yes... you won't believe it. This is every night!" I woke up at 3 am with the worst stomach problems and have been sick all day. The bottom line... if you like the birthday song playing over and over, raw chicken, and bad service... You have found your spot!

   Our server was a young girl yesterday evening. We were ordering appetizers drinks, meals, and dessert. One of our party members mentioned allergies and her response was “whatever“. Overall, she was extremely cold and rude and no point was welcoming or try to walk us through the menu or anything. The food was great. The drinks were great. The restaurant is beautiful, but our server tainted the experience for us.

   Food was great. Extremely loud - DJ thumping loud like being inside a nightclub. Could not have conversation without shouting. Couldn't hear waiter either. Too bad - pretty building and good food. Left with a headache. Sitting outside might have been better, though that area isn't as nice as inside.

   A little too loud for me at 6:30 pm. Lots of celebrations going on which makes for a very lively environment. If you like that, this place would be great for you. If you’re looking for something a bit more chill, this might not be your spot. Greek salad was the highlight.

   Food and service great! Wish they had wine choices that weren’t just Greek vineyards. Not great for me.

   Yamas recently changed several of their menu items and i prefer the previous iteration. The horiatiki salad they now bring it in a jar, shake it then serve it. it used to have big pieces of feta and now they’re small bits. the lamb chops now come with fries instead of those delicious greek potatoes. all the food was tasty just now what i’d gotten used to at Yamas

    Very well organized and the food was excellent. If you want quiet & romantic, this is not the place to have an excellent meal. If you want a festive, celebratory setting with lovely Mediterranean decor you will love it!
