   Always a wonderful place to eat lunch or dinner. I love the fixe prixe menus. I usually try something different with every visit and have never been disappointed. Always fresh, locally sourced ingredients served hot and with a European flair, this is my favorite restaurant in Williamsburg for special occasions, and everyday luncheons.

   The restaurant from the outside appears unobtrusive and understated but once you enter the glass doors, you enter a charming space. Lots of character, elegant French country. We were immediately welcomed by a friendly host and because one had the sense of being in France I was taken aback when he spoke with a southern accent! Too funny. Our table was in a room with a large fireplace and the seats were cushioned and extremely comfortable. Noise level low to moderate. Our server Breanna was upbeat, had a great sense of humor and checked on our table frequently. The service was professional, our food came out in a timely manner and we never felt rushed. The menu was exceptional and for the quality, very reasonably priced. Appetizers averaged $10-15, entree $35-50 and dessert $10-15. A couple of outliers on the higher end such as the $30 foie gras starter and the $65 beef tenderloin seared with foie gras in a truffle port wine reduction. The entrees included a soup or salad and our portions were decent. A glass of brut rose champagne $12 and 12 oz of Caymus cab. $39. Other 6-12oz wines much cheaper. The manager came over to our table and spoke with us. She was charming. The chef.she told us is from Normandy which comes as no surprise as the meal was superbe. We were a party of six and every plate I noticed was completely clean at the end— not a drop leftover. I highly recommend this restaurant to celebrate a special occasion, or just to have excellent French food in a comfortable warm and inviting setting. Would go back again and again!

   Another lovely meal at Le Yaca! Love that the tables aren’t on top of each other and the atmosphere is pretty but not stuffy. I think the 3-course meal is quite reasonable. Nice wine selection, including by the glass. Salmon was perfectly cooked and the tarte tatin was wonderful.

   We both ordered the filet with Roquefort sauce. It was cooked to perfection, and delightful. My wife also ordered the tuna sashimi appetizer, which was delicious and plentiful. Her only complaint was that it was not served with with crackers, traditionally the way we have seen it served. All in all a delightful dinner in a lovely setting.

    It appeared that tables may of been added to the room, and this created a noise level to such a point that it was difficult for the two of us to have a conversation. The distance between tables was just wide enough to let guests and wait staff pass. The main course came to us at room temperature. Most disappointing part of our visit was it was my dates birthday, which I made note to the restaurant when making my reservation. When we arrive the hostess asked, “who’s birthday is it.” I acknowledge her. My expectation was that a special dessert with a candle would be presents. As I dined, I saw that at another table received one dessert with a candle. My table and my birthday guest did not receive the same courtesy.
