    We had a wonderful dining experience at YOLO . The staff was incredibly attentive and professional, making sure we felt welcome and well taken care of throughout our meal. Gabby, our waitress, was exceptional—friendly, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to make our time there enjoyable. The entire team demonstrated impressive courtesy and professionalism, which really enhanced our experience. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning!

    Food and cocktails were great! It was a little loud and the music (house/dance music) was an odd choice for a finer dining restaurant but honestly didn’t take away from the a good girls dinner and the food. I would 100% go back for the artichoke chops and the truffle brussel sprouts alone. The sea bass and the branzino were both amazing pieces of fish, and the steaks were cooked perfectly.
