Service was abysmal – Friends and I arrived...thinking we were in for a treat at this restaurant...how wrong we were! The waiter...a jerk. uninterested in serving us. Not busy the waiter was just walking and talking to the hostess. After sitting ten minutes...the adjoining table (who arrived after us) was given menus, specials, drinks and appetizers before us. We needed to bring to the managers attention how UTTERLY uninterested in our waiter was. We needed to tell the hostess that our drinks were sitting at the bar. To make... read more
Been here twice and will keep on coming... the happy hour on Fridays... you can go wrong with $5 sangria!!! A Mimosa is a Mimosa, but with a black corn enpanada it is not the same! I hate the goat cheese one. The lobster meat quesadillas are delicious and the churrasco steak it is very juicy, but can do with a bit more flavor. The ceviche is not what a ceviche really is but the sweet mango taste to it and the advocados it sure makes it a trade mark. LOVE IT!
Arrogant Bartender Ruins Everything – I've been to Yuca several times with friends for drinks. The wait staff are very nice and the drinks tasty (although way too strong). But each time the bartender was arrogant and nasty. Last time, it was so bad that my friend commented on what a sour person he was and how he was ruining what should have been a pleasant experience (place has nice ambience). After this, I have vowed never to return. If Yuca ditched this guy, I'd highly recommend the place. Otherwise, I'd say skip it and go... read more
What a deal!!!!!!!!!! – I went out with a couple of friends to celebrate a birthday not knowing were to go, and we end up at yuca bar, a pleasent discovery. The sangria and mango mojito are a must, we have some tapas which were very original and tasty.Service was excellent, and when we receive the bill, i was very pleased; i will defenetly come back for some mojitos in the out doors.
Great food, mediocre drinks... – I finally tried this spot after my grief over the demise of Leshko's finally faded..... But I think Yuca has done a great job filling those shoes. I went through twice this weekend and had a great experience both times!!! The brunch Saturday was fantastic, my breakfast burrito was delish, the accompanying salad had great ingredients, and my friend's french friend an unusual blend of fry meets ring. Good stuff. The margaritas, however, left a little to be desired, unfortunately, but they were ... read more
Nice Place to Chill – Great Sangria was fresh fruit in the pitcher for 22 bucks. good deal. place cleared out by 1 and drew an interesting mix of true village hip and those that wanted to be. I would go back on a nice summer nite.
Service... – The ambience, location and price are great. It does appear that they are not used to having large groups. We were around 6 in total for brunch, most other patrons were 2 or 3 pp groups. The 2 -3 pp groups received their food very quickly. We had to continue asking for ours. Other people were coming in after us and leaving before us. They need to get better service!
Best for appetizers – I went with a friend and the service was excellent, as well as the appetizers. Try the Coconut Shimps and empanadas!! We also had dinner but it didn't measure up after the appetizers. But definitely price is not an issue here.
New Fave – I cannot stop going to this restaurant. I went 2 nights in a row last weekend, once with the boyfriend and once with the girls - everybody dug it as much as I did! We especially loved the mini lobster soft shell tacos, the glazed shrimp and the octopus ceviche! Not to mention the delicious Malbec wine. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting and the service is fabulous, that I always end up lounging there for hours chatting, eating and sipping wine. Wait, maybe I should be keeping this my little secret, forget I sa... read more
