If You Like Bad Attitudes... – Upon entering the doorway, the host, with a sour expression confirmed the number of guests in my party, and as he grabbed mentions, while turning on foot, told me outside beverages were not permitted. "Oh, could I pour my coffee in one of your mugs?" Without considering or even an apologetic, "No. Sorry -it's policy," he just said no. "Funny, I have been able to before." "Yeah. Well," was his reply. The water was tepid, the coffee is horrible, and when food came out, we had to search for our ow... read more
NYC Gem – I've been in the restaurant about 10 times already and haven't been disappointed once. The food is delicious, the chef is a master of sauces..they make every dish seem like its a 5star restaurant. The food is served with great aesthetics without overdoing it. The portions are perfect. And besides great food the drinks are strong and delicious (at happy hour $5, cant be topped) Caprioskas are delicious. But my favorite part of the meal is the cafe con leche. It's perfectly Europeian-quality strong coffee without the... read more
A great night out – My friends and I made plans to go out on Friday for some good latin food and decide to go to Yuca Bar since we've been there for brunch and we love it, we figured dinner has to be good...well it was!!!, food was delicious, great music, service was great. After dinner we decided to move over to the bar and have some drinks. The bartender made us the best drinks which included Mango Mojitos and Margaritas. We had so much fun. Next day I woke up feeling great after some very satisfying dinner and best drinks... read more
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.
