GREAT NEW PLACE!!!

by Twinkletoes

let me tell you... i have been reading reviews for this place, so i was a bit iffy to go in, but a friend of mine said they went through some changes the last time i came in (which was like a year ago) oh man did they change !! but for the better !! they have a great happy hour lounge menu where you can enjoy it both in the dinning and lounge area. (love the couches in the lounge) its just a place to chill and the cocktail server or server chic was awesome, filled us in with the questions we had and about the new menu.. my experience was awesome !!

i will definitely go in again for their late night happy hour... plus they have karaoke night on fridays.... haha so fun... i would definitely recommend this place, happy hour prices are great, service is great, food is awesome ! oh and the staff are just beautiful!!

thanks yama !!

• Pros: hot servers, great service, great happy hour!!!
• Cons: parking..

Very Disapponting

by robmcm

Being Valentine's Day, I wanted to find someplace nice to take my wife. I chose Yama because the menu on their web site looked appetizing.

We showed up on time for our reservation and were shown to a table, but it took 20 minutes before a waiter stopped by. He was more interested in a discussion that he was having with someone else at another table, and eventually wandered off without excusing himself or taking any drink orders. After another 10 minutes or so a manager dropped by to say that someone would be with us shortly. After another 15 minutes a new waiter came by and announced that he would be our server. So in total it took 45 minutes before we could order drinks.

But the story doesn?t get any better - we ordered our food, but we did not receive it for over an hour. I understand that Valentine?s Day can be busy, but couples were arriving, eating, and leaving in less time than it took us to get our drinks - and we both had iced tea, not specialty drinks. We received our salads and appetizers after having been at the restaurant for over two hours, and after we received our entrees we didn?t see our waiter for another 30 minutes or so. (No drink refills, no checks to see how the dinner was going, nothing.) Our waiter wandered by some time later when it was time to pay, and I should have bypassed leaving any tip - but simple politeness prevented me from doing so.

All told, my wife and I left Yama three hours after arriving. Valentine?s Day may by a busy time, but this was ridiculous. The food may have been good, but the service was so terrible that I have wasted no time in recommending to others that they never eat at Yama.
