   Second time having dinner at Yaya. Service wows you. The terrace overlooking Biscayne Bay is gorgeous. Food is fantastic as is the cost of your meal. Has become one of our favorite restaurants.

   Read about Yaya and was excited to try. It did not disappoint. The restaurant is beautiful looks like straight from the Greek Isles. The service was amazing and the food excellent. Especially loved the Moroccan semolina pancakes and the baklava cheesecake.

   We had a wonderful night dinning at this beautifully located restaurant. Our server Carlos was cheerful, professional & attentive, having a server coming to serve with that attitude is a good reflection how the dinning experience will go. Cocktails were refreshing. We got Hummus, Greek salad which we enjoyed with coctails, then got the outstanding char-grilled oysters ( they were amazing & if one like oysters it’s a definite option). Our main course we choose the filet of Bronzino & the grilled Whole Dorado of which(The plate looked amazing) & tasted great. We ended our meal with the best Backlava cheesecake. It was a great night

   The appetizer Tzatziki and other dips are a complete rip off. They give you the tiniest amount that literally servers one person. The service is slow. Staff are really nice, but needs to attend to tables more often. The side dishes came out late, way after our main courses. They need to step up their game if they want to last. The food does taste amazing and the atmosphere is beautiful.

   We ran across YaYa by chance searching for a waterside dining experience. This was a hidden gem! The food was stupendous, and Dwayne our server was a pure delight. Do yourself a favor and get to YaYa soon!

   I enjoyed each dish we ordered, especially the dorado, oysters, and melon salad. Beautiful atmosphere, great cocktails, nice wine selection. Bonus that there was a DJ playing deep house music.

    We tried this restaurant previously and the wine was delicious, but the food was awful. We decided to give it one more try because sometimes restaurants have a bad night. The ambiance of this restaurant is what brought us back. Beautiful calm neutral palate is the best description I can think of for the decor. The wine selection is decent too. Now the food on the other had is awful, it is absolutely FLAVORLESS. We’ve had FIVE entrees, multiple appetizers, and desserts. The jumbo prawns: flavorless and overcooked. The salmon: I don’t even think they salted it. It comes with chopped bell peppers (raw no flavor or even salt) The swordfish: unseasoned breading and flavorless Branzino: flavorless… do we see the pattern here? Chicken: flavorless Broccolini: this was actually good Roasted garlic potato purée: this was good also Loaded Greek truffle fries: I don’t know if Greek truffle is different than standard truffle, but the fries had a mayonnaise-ish crème on top and it was bland and had zero truffle flavor. Hummus: pretty standard flavor, I’ve had worse, but I’ve also had better. We also had a hazelnut/chocolate dessert: it was average. Overall the wine and ambiance is what made this place nice for us. We would go back, but only for wine and maybe an olive plate.
