    Really liked the vibe, but our entrees were timed poorly and one forgotten with people almost done with theirs before we received ours. The management did take care of it though so it wasn’t overseen.

    My team and I have dined at YOLO several times and today's experience fell short on what we received. Our lunch orders were incorrect when they came out to the table. We also ordered some desserts and it took over 20 minutes to be delivered table. We were expecting it to taste great considering the amount of time that we waited. However, it was very disappointing to several of our palates and not at the correct temperature. This may have just been an off day for YOLO. Considering everything, our server Andrew did a wonderful job and rectified any issues that we had. He was very courteous and professional.

    Had a good experience at this restaurant. The food was definitely the highlight—I’d give it a solid 9/10 for flavor and presentation. The ambiance was nice and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, which made the service smooth and enjoyable. Overall, a spot I’d happily return to.

    My family and I loved it here. The food is delicious, the customer service is outstanding and the outside atmosphere with music makes your dinner extra special. Thanks for a great dinner. We will be back again.
