Villa Yara is a MUST. Do yourself a favor and ask to be sat in Nora's section. She knows the menu very well and can give excellent recommendations.

Went here for my birthday dinner with 6 people and the service was very disappointing. I had been once before and the service was also slow but decided to give it another shot because the ambiance is so cute and the drinks are good. We had a res for 7:30 and weren’t seated til 9 pm due to a short spurt of rain outside around 7:15. Not completely their fault but disappointing nonetheless. They didn’t do much to compensate, offer us complimentary drinks or anything like that. Food was fine but overall not worth it.

Had a great great time and experience at Villa Yara. The food was excellent so is the service. We had Andrea as our server and he was beyond excellent. My only comment is the bathroom had no soap or tissue also some of the cups and plates came not 100% clean. But the manager and the waiter acted upon it super quickly and apologized too. Will be back again!

The food was delicious and a good value. While it is fun to enter such a high energy restaurant, it is difficult to hear your dinner company. Service was friendly but some staff seemed less experienced. Hope to return and enjoy the outdoor space.

Service was terrible - our table was forgotten about multiple times. Took forever to get water and cocktails. They gave us 2 menus for 5 people and kept coming back to try to take the menus from us before we even had a chance to order our food. The food was good but portions were small and prices very expensive for what the dishes were!! On top of it, our waiter added a 20% tip for himself on everyone’s check with the digital card reader he brought to the table without waiting for us to select the tip ourselves. Super unprofessional and disappointing.

The restaurant is beautiful (especially the outdoor garden) and the food was delicious. The service was amazing, but then our server was assigned to a 20 person table so we got put on the back burner. The cocktails were very good and the food was beautifully prepared, but I do think the serving sizes for the entrees were quite small for the price.

The place was beautiful. The decor was well done. The menu was expansive. But my oh my the price insane. The cocktails started were $18! There was not a single glass of wine under $16-$17. The small plates (baba ghanoush) could only feed maybe 1 person? It all seemed so expensive for such tiny portions. All the food felt under seasoned. I left being so so so hungry still. And the service was meh. I felt like they were always rushing us but were never around to get our drink orders. What a cute place but damn I had such sticker shock!
