   There are meals, and then there are experiences — and Yolan is nothing short of the latter. My girlfriend and I returned for our second visit this year, hoping to relive the magic of our first dinner. To our delight, this visit didn’t just meet expectations — it surpassed them in every possible way. From the moment we walked in, the staff welcomed us with the kind of warmth that makes you feel like you’ve come home. We were there to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday, and without missing a beat, nearly every member of the team made sure to extend kind wishes, small gestures that spoke volumes about the heart of this place. Our server, Jan, was extraordinary — the kind of person who elevates a fine dining experience into something personal and unforgettable. Jan’s genuine hospitality, deep knowledge of the menu, and attention to every detail made us feel like honored guests rather than just another reservation. His presence was calm, kind, and full of intention, and he effortlessly guided us through each course with care and grace. The food, of course, was sublime — every dish a poetic blend of textures and flavors that left us speechless. There were long, quiet moments at our table where words would’ve only disrupted the artistry unfolding on our plates. And to our surprise and delight, the chef generously sent out a few complimentary dishes — each one a masterpiece we won’t soon forget. Yolan is the rare kind of restaurant that doesn’t just serve food; it creates lasting memories. Between the impeccable cuisine and the heartwarming service — especially from Jan and the entire staff — this is a place that truly deserves a Michelin star.

   Outstanding experience. Food was delicious. Chef came out and spoke to us because things apparently were delayed (we didn’t realize and were having a nice time). Added his personal story to our dishes which we loved.

   It was uncomfortably hot and not many options for someone with dietary restrictions.

   The food and service were impeccable; could not have been better. Our sole complaint was that it was a little hot inside, on an 80 degree day. Otherwise totally fabulous drinks, dinner, dessert, and amazing service.

   We had a wonderful time at Yolan!! Food and drinks were delicious!! I would say that we felt rushed to order. I understand the time limit but we were having a pre dinner drink and celebrating a birthday. We were ready to order an appetizer to start but were advised that we had to order our whole meal at one time. A comment was also made that if we didn’t order right then our meal could be delayed for a larger party.

   Here for my birthday week and have loads of favorite restaurants, but I chose Yolan for my birthday dinner because it’s just that good. Great service, food, and ambiance.

   The experience was “fine” but we won’t be rushing back. House-provided sparkling water was flat (so we ordered the San Pelligrino af a cost). Our pasta came while we were still eating our appetizer. Then there was a long wait to the entree. Waiter seemed a bit lost/overwhelmed. Food was good but the experience missed the mark.

   Overall we enjoyed our meal at Yolan. Having not dined here before we were a bit nervous given some recent reviews on google but we stuck with our plans and were happy with that decision! All of the food arrived to the table hot and with explanations of each dish. The pasta dishes did cool off quickly, bur we can’t hold that against the kitchen. The lobster risotto was my personal favorite and my partner’s was the duck dish. The only course we didn’t like was the bread service as the bread texture was a bit gummy. We skipped dessert as nothing really appealed to us. Our server made herself present a reasonable amount, but I wouldn’t describe her as the most friendly server I’ve ever had. Restaurant ambiance was confusing, decor and furniture choices didn’t feel like a restaurant and definitely felt like you were in a hotel.
