Pricey! But excellent all around. Ming was a wonderful waiter, never rushed us but was there as needed. Everyone's food was done perfectly and tasted awesome. Definitely an occasion kind of place.
My husband and I decided to celebrate our fourth anniversary here at Le Yaca, it was our first time visiting the restaurant but I was blown away on how wonderful everything was. We reserved a table at 11 on Saturday just as they were opening and had almost the entire restaurant to ourselves for awhile. The room was small which makes it feel more private and we were immediately greeted by our waiter. We got an all inclusive three course meal that included an alcoholic drink, an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. My husband and I both ordered a pear mimosa which was quite tasty. I ordered the onion soup which was very delicious and creamy and my husband ordered the soup of the day which was potato and lentil (very creamy as well). For the entree we both ordered the Beef Wellington which is why I wanted to visit this restaurant and I was not disappointed! The crust was buttery and the beef was delicious and steak like. I would 100% come back for the Beef Wellington. We had an espresso and cappuccino while we waited for our creme brulee which was creamy and rich. Our server was attentive the entire time and the overall experience was amazing and memorable!
Had an amazing lunch with out of town friends. Food did not disappoint. Service as well. Was a little warm in the room but all else was great. French Onion Soup, Homard and Scallops all amazing.
Amazing food, topped off with amazing service. Had the wonderful opportunity to dine here on a Wednesday evening. We ordered the 5 course prix fixe menu and the price performance ratio was on point. Pricey, but the quality of food was exquisite. Ming, our server, was attentive, friendly and kind. Unknowingly, we stayed way past their closing time (9pm close, left close to 11pm, yikes!) but we were never rushed or hurried. Even after we paid, Ming kept checking up on us and offering us more water. The hospitality and warmth here is unrivaled. Would definitely visit again, recommend sitting outside if the weather is nice. Happy hour is from 5-7pm, make a reservation.
We had the five-course dinner a while back, and I have to say that Le Yaca is an excellent fine dining option in Williamsburg. The service, food, and decor were all superb. Le Yaca is probably the best place to eat at in Williamsburg and the 757. Despite being a tourist destination in the Hampton Roads with attractions like CW and Busch Gardens, Williamsburg suffers from a serious dearth of decent dining and cafe options. Many food establishments in Williamsburg are run by people who do not know their craft. There are some businesses that go as far as reacting in a hostile manner to deservedly negative reviews instead of using them as feedback to improve. Anyways, Le Yaca is worth splurging on in Williamsburg and is an exception in an otherwise sad food scene.
This is probably the fanciest restaurant in the area which happens to be French. Located in a shopping center you wouldn't think much of it but when you step foot inside it feels like you're transported to another place. Elevavated ambiance makes for a luxurious feel and the food didn't disappoint either. Had the 5 course menu to try a little bit of everything. The crab crepe was something unique and tasty, also the steak, fish and crab cake was wonderful. Desserts were tasty as well. Onion soup was good but not great, maybe that's just my preference. Definitely a restaurant id return to if I'm back in the area.
Thank you so much for a wonderful and joyful experience! The Slye family and friends, who we include as our family, shared in the celebration of my husband’s 70th birthday! It was a tremendous success!!!❤️❤️
We were so glad we passed over to other restaurants to eventually eat here for lunch on a weekday! The service was great and the food was outstanding. The atmosphere was very nice. Not too loud.
The atmosphere and food was amazing. We enjoyed our anniversary there. They even included a small momento on our desserts to acknowledge our anniversary. The drink selection is great.
A fantastic Easter experience from start to finish! The service was incredibly fast and attentive. Every course was delicious, but the lamb (Carré d’Agneau) was definitely the highlight—perfectly cooked. From the starters to the dessert, everything was top-notch. Highly recommend!
