    Everything was just ok, nothing special. Servers were friendly and attentive, food was good, not great and the very small facility had no ambiance. We’ll skip it next time

    Food was good, not sensational. Music was INCREDIBLY too loud, service was fine, but my main complaint was with pricing. Way overpriced. But it’s Vail village.

    Food is way too expensive for the quality. Servers focused on friends coming in and out instead of the people dining.

    The food at Yama is fantastic. We had the Spicy Tuna taco appetizer. Fried tempura battered veggies, a Boom Boom roll and a Hammerhead roll with spicy tuna and Serrano topping.Everything was on point. Mia did a great job with the service. We will ask for her next time in.
