This restaurant is truly a 5 star experience. There was some disorganization regarding getting on the list to be seated, but wow it was special once we got in. I will post pics as they are worth 10,000 words really.

Had to wait a bit, but to be expected at great restaurants. Service was really good, food was FANTASTIC. Picture is the pork chop over spinach with a potato dish. All were cooked to perfection and very tasty. Highly recommend. May want to make a reservation though so you don’t have to wait. Will be going back.

Listen....the food was AH MAY ZING!!!!! I was torn between 2 meals, one with risotto & the other a pasta dish (both with seafood). Welp...they have a pick 2 deal, where you can order half portions of 2 dishes. Oh my....choice solved. I could have both 🥰. The combined portion was just enough plus I had some roasted Brussel sprouts. Served piping hot. It was me, myself & I.....and let me tell you...we all dined sufficiently. I had a fun bubbly waitress & the ambiance was great! My date with me was 5 stars!!!!

The food and service was excellent; the chicken wasnt dry and the beef tenderloin was cooked just right. Eventhough we arrived a few minutes after happy hour, they honored the happy hour pricing for our drinks. To top it off our server, Tatum was outstanding.

This was a good little find. We stopped with our family on the way from Tennessee to Hot Springs. The pita and hummus had a nice kick to it. The salads and sandwiches were outstanding! I got a Greek salad with a half a chicken bacon sandwich. The bread was buttery and delicious, and the bacon was cooked exactly how I like it. The chicken was a bit bland. They used actual cheese and not processed in everything we ordered. My husband got a ceasar with the same sandwich. His croutons and ceasar were quite obviously homemade and wonderful!The one thing that was slightly disappointing was the kids meals being bland. Each of my three kids got a meal, which are a great value, because they get to choose an entree item and a side for a great price, and they are great sized portions. The only draw back was that the chicken both in the kids meals and the sandwiches was quite bland. My eldest son got a pizza which was huge for a kid’s meal. My middle child got chicken “nuggets” which were actually strips, and they were crispy. My youngest son got macaroni and cheese and it was a good portion, but quite bland. It tasted like pasta water with grated Parmesan cheese mixed through it.Our waiter was very attentive, and went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of. Overall very pleased with this place.

Incredibly amazing food, any appetizer you pick is a winner! Very refreshing to taste actual food at a restaurant not to mention it isnt THAT much of a drain on your wallet. Very reasonable price for the quality and quantity that youre getting. Id ask to be seated with Lexington or Cameron as they were very kind & knowledgeable and really helped make the place and our visit more memorable. This restaurant has got it all, ambience, staff who care, competitive pricing, and of course memorable food! If youre near the area make the detour, you will absolutely have a great time and leave with a very happy belly!

Yesterday my husband and I along with some friends went to YaYas for the first time. We were unaware of the Sunday brunch and the selections seemed decent. However when we observed the patrons using their bare hands on the serving utensils, because of Covid, we decided to order from the menu instead. We all ordered pasta dishes and Delilah, who was an excellent server explained it may take a bit longer because of the brunch crowd. However our food came quicker than expected and the taste was good. Our only complaint was that a restaurant of this caliber did not serve bread or salad with the pasta as most restaurants do. Delilah brought out bread after we requested it about 10 minutes after the food came. So the taste of the food was good and the service was excellent, however please consider adding something with the pasta dishes. We may consider trying Yayas again when it is not brunch time to see if it is any better.

We just moved to the area and it was our first dinning out. Our waiter Justin was very sweet and made the experience really accommodating. I had the steak with corn and my husband had Salmon. The corn was super salty but Justin brought us some complementary mashed potatoes and bread. My husbands meal was wonderful. We had blue berry cobbler to go, it was a little too sweet for my taste. Overall experience was great food was great, can be improved :)

Review №15

This was the best dinner me and my husband have ever had in Arkansas. It was so homey and filling. My server, Christian, was the sweetest, most helpful person Ive ever met. She was always excited to help us, and even cracked a few jokes. The atmosphere here is just so pleasant. It wasnt loud, there wasnt music, and it was such a nice experience. Again, I cannot get over how wonderful the food was. I had the filet Mignon, and it was so heavenly tender. My husband had the pork chop, and couldnt stop raving about how wonderful it tasted. We will definitely be coming back time and time again! It wasnt even badly priced for how wonderful the food was!!

This place is ok the food is good but due to the fact I found 2 long blond hairs in my food, the waiter just apologized and kept goin. I still gag to this day over salmon salad. That wasnt right they dint even send the manager....sad....I also see the owner hasnt responded to my post but yet is acknowledging other people positive post. BAD BUSINESS

So first off I will say, this was a last minute decision to come here as we were passing through Little Rock to head home to north western TN.Well worth it! Everything was amazing. I will say the ONLY reason I’m leaving a 4star is the case in the steak. It tasted as if there was no seasoning of any sort. The cheesy potatoes were amazing and the Bruschetta was to die for.Creme brûlée trio was absolutely amazing as well!

Had a great dinner in the outdoor dining area. The food was awesome and I would recommend the pizza. The hummus had the right amount of spices. We also tried the creme Brule and they served three different flavors with the peanut butter being my favorite. They have a great menu with many unique dishes. I would definitely recommend this place and will go back soon.

Review №29

Buffet brunch during COVID isnt the best option for a restaurant with good food. It was crowded and people hovered over food and your plate. Besides also being a bit pricey the quality of food at almost $25/plate.... options was adequate and decent. Will just stick to regular meals if eating here and not brunch.

Such a great dining experience. Food was excellent, server helpful and attentive. Atmosphere is warm and lovely. It’s hard to choose from such a wide variety of choices. Can’t go wrong starting with the bruschetta. The spinach salad is delicious. Everything we had was hot and fresh. Next time I start with dessert first, because I was too full to sample any of those mouthwatering choices.

Best food so far that Ive had in Little Rock. Everything has unbelievably great flavor. Kind staff, seated immediately. We were so glad they had a kids menu, as we have a picky 3 year old. Do yourself a favor and go here! If I had room after my appetizer and meal, I would have gotten dessert. Everything sounded so good on their menu.

We met our friends at YaYa’s on a Tuesday night. There was a very nice crowd and wonderful atmosphere. Our waiter was very attentive and professional. Everything we ate was simply fabulous! Our appetizers were very good—crab cakes and the hummus. I had the shrimp risotto and my friend had the sea scallops. Both were so delicious!! The desserts were out of this world! Tiramisu and Peach Bread Pudding were so good. It was the best meal I’ve had in a while. We will definitely return!!

Review №55

Came here all the way from Jackson, MS just to try that tiramisu. The photos on here were amazing and it looked like just the way I love it. I ordered pork chops. It was ok. Just bbq pork chops. My wife has salmon, didn’t have much flavor but it was ok with the purée stuff under it. My mom had a decent risotto with shrimp. Only 3 shrimp on a half order. Pretty small Kids meal we added chicken to make it chicken Alfredo spaghetti. Still in disbelief that they ran out of tiramisu. Hear others talking about it on the way out. What a disappointment. We got the brownie trying to take the place of the tiramisu and I guess the chef decided to add strawberry slivers all over the plate. But I think they were just running really low on chocolate sauces.

Review №56

Ehhh, food was just okay. Not worth the $$$ This used to be one of my favorite brunch spots but my group was very disappointed with the quality today. The English muffin in my Eggs Benedict was hard as a rock and I couldn’t cut it with a knife. Felt like they are putting up the appearance of a fine dining restaurant but unfortunately were serving bland mediocre food.

We went to Ya Yas on a Friday night around 600 pm. We were immediately seated with no wait. The atmosphere was pleasant with the lush smells of food being cooked. The server brought us bread with baba ganoush dipping sauce. I ordered the steak (medium rare) with roasted grill corn. My wife had the grilled rainbow trout. All of it was cooked to perfection and tasted divine. I definitely recommend Ya Yas as a place to take your wife or significant other as a treat. The prices are moderate as my total bill for both of us was over $55 and I had sweet tea and she had water.

My friends and I wanted to try some place different and Im glad we came here. Great location, friendly staff and amazing customer service. Our hostess, Max was the highlight of the night.

For celebrations and special occasions, I love dining here! We started our dinner with the Bruschetta, enjoyed our Bistro Specials ( Bistro Steak & Roasted Pork Chop) followed by a recommended Trio Crème Brûlée to finish. The flat iron steak is photographed below. If you haven’t been, I highly encourage you to experience it for yourself. You’ll be glad you did!

Review №63

I ate light, although I wanted everything on the menu. I love the breading on the honey mustard chicken. Such a simple dish that was created phenomenally. My server, Travis, was diligent and cared. It made my time enjoyable, much better than a bite in the car. I’m so glad I stopped and I will be back.

Review №64

The food was great and there were quite a few choices. I even enjoyed the shrimp which i usually prefer to be warm. The only reason i gave 3 stars was because of our waiter Steven. He happened to be a tall caucasian male and we were a group of African American women. He tried to introduce another waiter to us by his skin color and the guy said they know what color i am. It was the weirdest thing and was also completely unnecessary.

Went out with my family for brunch. We had orange and pineapple mimosas. My sister and I split the French toast. It is VERY big! I ordered the bacon as well, its a side. It was crunchy, just how I like it. I also ordered the salmon, which is why I split the French toast. It was amazing!!!!

It has become one of our regular spots, thanks to good food and service. I will admit we avoided it for awhile when they were going through some changes, but that is all behind them now. The food and service is always good and they have a nice wine (and Bourbon/Scotch) selection as well.

We were here for Easter Brunch! It was awesome!! Buffet brunch very hot and fast! Everyone there was very helpful and nice. I walked in after our party was already sat down. The greeter took me to our table. He was very helpful and showed us where everything was. Our server was very nice and friendly. This place is world class for sure. We definitely will be back. They had drink specials. Brunch was really good. They had everything you could think of! Cold drinks and beer. I had a lost 40 honey. Brunch was $35 a plate, not bad at all for what they had. Restrooms were very clean. I’d say they were on a 10 scale. Dining area was clean as well. Very fancy place place.

I can’t believe they served us bread that looks like a two year old cut it up and played with it. It was just thrown on a plate. Some of it wasn’t even cut all the way. I took a picture and I wish that I could post it with this message!! The server was rude about it when I asked him!! I come here often but I may have to change my mind.

Sunday brunch at YaYas is always a treat! It offers an extensive buffet that includes expected breakfast fare. But, it also includes a pasta station, boiled shrimp, hummus and a wide array of desserts. The highlight this visit was a perfectly cooked waffle with pecan syrup. However, my omelet was a disappointment. Where I come from, the ingredients should be cooked into the egg, not a glob of ingredients with an egg blanket. Still, Yayas is one of the best for brunch, lunch or dinner!

Wow! We went to the Sunday brunch. Everything was excellent. The waffles were freshly prepared and the pasta bar was second to none. My only regret was that I didnt get a chance to try the dessert spread & could not take a dessert with me when we left . I will definitely reccomend going to yayas after church or to take an out of town friend. It can accommodate large parties.

YaYas delivers healthy, delicious favorites with impeccable service. Of course, theere are several choices. But I often opt for the the salmon salad and crabcakes for a lighter appetizer and entree choice. Although, recently, I tried their version of the (Vegan) Beyond Burger on a brioche bun.....AMAZING! Who knew vegan could be so GOOD!! Yum!

Review №98

Today we ordered Thanksgiving dinner to pick up from YaYas. It was our first experience with this restaurant and although it was a little expensive ($40/person), the menu indicated that salad and dessert were included. I arrived late at 2:15 to pick up the order scheduled for 2:00. The hostess stationed outside very politely apologized that they were running behind. My order was ready at 2:30 and was accompanied by a $25 off your next visit card and another polite apology for the wait.Upon unpacking at the house, we discovered that the salads were missing. Also, for our 5 dinners, we received only one pint of green bean casserole, a similar amount of mashed potatoes, 4 rolls, and two tiny sauce sized containers of cranberry sauce. I think someone thought it was just dinner for 2, not 5. The food was quite good. I had never tried cauliflower steak and this presentation was tasty. The sweet potato casserole was spicy and perhaps the best Ive ever had.I believe this was the first time that this establishment had served take-out on this scale and they were really overwhelmed. These are some nice people here and Im certain they will be better prepared next time. I look forward to trying dining inside with them after this COVID has passed.
