Deuxième dîner ici et la nourriture était tout simplement phénoménale, tout comme le service. Cuisine française vraiment authentique avec une atmosphère charmante. Manger le dîner ici me donne l'impression d'être de retour en France. Je reviendrai bientôt à nouveau.

De très bon plats qui rappel bien la France notamment le pâté en croute mais le bémol c est qu’aucun des employés ne sais parler ne serait-ce qu’un mots de français, c est regrettable.

The food was so amazing! Great service and we sat near the beautiful Christmas tree over the holidays ? We very much enjoyed the set menu, with five different options you could choose from. I got the seared scallops, the French onion soup, the beef and lobster, the poached, peaches, and the pallet cleanser, of course! Highly recommend this restaurant 🙂

If you're planning a date night or special occasion and would like an amazing fine dining candlelit experience, Le Yaca is the perfect atmosphere. In the warmer months, I would consider dining out on their terrace for a romantic setting.

The waiters and staff are friendly and provide excellent service, their food presentation is a work of art and everything you eat is guaranteed to be delicious (you have my word!).

I had the honor of photographing an intimate wedding cocktail/reception here and got to experience Le Yaca as a vendor and guest. The wedding planner and I ordered different meals so that we could try a little of everything which was the best! I can't wait to bring my husband here soon!

Some of my favorites included; Onion soup, house salad, Filet (if you're  a filet connoisseur, you will be in for a real treat!), roasted lamb, scallops. Also make sure you leave room for dessert! Their creme brulee and cheesecake was heavenly!

Le Yaca truly stands out as a gem in Williamsburg. From the moment we walked in, we were enveloped by an atmosphere of elegance and warmth.

We started with their scallops, which were perfectly seared, delivering a delightful balance of crisp exterior and tender, buttery interior. The flavors were exquisite, enhanced by a subtle, complementary sauce.

The Beef Wellington was a highlight; the pastry was flaky and golden, encasing the most succulent, perfectly cooked beef. The duxelles and pâté added layers of flavor that were simply divine.

Next, we enjoyed the beef tenderloin paired with a lobster tail. The beef was cooked to a precise medium-rare, tender and rich, while the lobster was fresh, sweet, and cooked to perfection. The combination was luxurious and indulgent, a true testament to the chef's skill.

Our meal was rounded out with a crab cake appetizer that was outstanding. It was packed with sweet, fresh crab meat, lightly seasoned to let the quality of the seafood shine. The accompanying remoulade was the perfect touch.

Service at Le Yaca was impeccable, with staff who were both knowledgeable and attentive without being overbearing. The wine selection complemented our meal beautifully, and the ambiance made for a memorable dining experience.

If you're in Williamsburg and looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Le Yaca is not to be missed. Five stars all around for an evening of culinary excellence.
