Le Yaca French Restaurant

The most amazing brunch I have EVER had! Have you been to Le Yaca French restaurant in Williamsburg, VA? They offer a three course brunch with 3-5 choices for each stage. It starts with your choice of a brunch cocktail, with pain au chocolat, delicious butter, and fresh French bread. Followed by a choice of a starter, then a choice of an entree, with a choice of dessert to enjoy at the end for $45.

I kept saying "exquisite" as I saw each beautifully plated dish. The food was perfectly cooked and served at just the right temperature. I was beyond impressed and felt so spoiled as I got to enjoy beautiful, fresh cooked, high quality food the way it was meant to be when you take the time to enjoy a meal out.

The service was outstanding. They treated me like a queen. They were so professional yet personable. I had the opportunity to meet the manager and supervisor as well as they took the time to come to my table, introduce themselves, and make sure all was well. All was definitely well. I have never had such a refined experience a part from actually being in France, and even Le Yaca was a superior experience to meals I have enjoyed at restaurants in Paris. Vive Le Yaca !

They also offer a three course meal for lunch as well as dinner. Dinner even has a five course option. I MUST try them. Brunch is offered everyday. There is a lamb meal on Thursdays. There is also a bistro or a la carte option at the bar as well as a happy hour. Good thing I am not closer to Williamsburg or it would be difficult to resist trying EVERYTHING that they offer.

Le Yaca has the well-made food and exceptional service that I dream of when I want a dining experience. The ambience of the restaurant was so beautiful and comfortable. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Great food with great atmosphere. Definitely a good choice for an anniversary dinner. We did wait kinda long for our food but it was worth it! The Chocolate Martini was delicious 🤤

I’ve went back and forth on whether to leave 4 stars or 5 stars.

I’m settling on 4 stars because our visit got off on the wrong foot right away. Made a reservation earlier in the week for 12:30pm to celebrate my wedding anniversary. We arrived approximately 5 minutes early and checked in. Right behind us a group of two checked in and a group of 5 who couldn’t find their reservation. Both groups were taken to their table before us & despite having a 12:30 reservation. We weren’t sat until 12:45.

Not sure what the issue was or why those parties were sat before us. But what is the point of a reservation if I’m still going to wait 15 minutes? On top of that both ladies checking in and seating parties didn’t seem to enjoy their job. This was further solidified when my wife asked where the bathroom was and was given a short answer. Too me part of booking at fine dining restaurant like this is unparalleled customer service from start to finish….. That wasn’t the case yesterday.

I will say the meal was fantastic. Minus a couple of hiccups of it taking over 15 minutes to get bread. We were told the runner brought bread to the wrong table, which seemed to be the case because the table next to use who came in 10 min after us got bread right away. Our waiter, Ming noticed this and brought us bread immediately. The runner also mixed up which soup my wife and I had.

All in all, if the service was better, it was a 5 star experience. But yesterday it wasn’t and the start of the experience left such a bad taste in my mouth that I’m not sure if I’ll be back despite how good the meal was from first course through dessert.

Perfection!! Visited with my fiance for my birthday dinner on a Thursday evening. We were very lucky to get a last-minute reservation as they were booked. The ambiance is warm & inviting in an upscale atmosphere. The service was impeccable, friendly & attentive. We ordered off the prix fixed menu with the salad, French onion soup (best I have ever had!), Salmon, & 2 different chocolate desserts. Everything was presented so beautifully & tasted amazing!! Highly recommend when in the Williamsburg area, you won't be disappointed!! Just say oui!

We have visited here a number of times for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Each time was excellent on every front. A great place for a celebratory dining experience. It's patronized by both locals and tourists for good reason.
