We took my aunt and uncle who were visiting us to lunch. They thought the food, service and atmosphere were the best they have had in Williamsburg. We agree. Ming,, our server, provided us with excellent service. The food was perfect. Their 3-course lunches for $16 are an incredible deal. The place was about half full and it was a...

Went to la Yaca after a short day at busch gardens for a bottle of wine and some apps with my boyfriend. We were sat by a lovely hostess. We then sat there for over 15 minutes with no one to come by we got looks from the servers like we were an inconvenience... So they knew we were there!!...

The hostess was friendly and sat us down immediately. However, that was the last interaction with any employee during our short stint at the restaurant. Pretentious, young staff never even looked over our way while we were at the table. After 15 min of sitting around like patience on a monument we walked out. Would love to give you a...

I had lunch at La Yaca in March 2011. All I can say is, this place knows how to make great French food. I ordered a la carte, however, there is a 16.00 prix fix menu for lunch that looked good too (salad or soup, entree, and dessert). I had the sea scallops over lentils and a side salad. Everything...

We have been to La Yaca many times over the years, and always have a wonderful dining experience. From Madam explaining the specials to the exceptional service it is absolutely one of our favorite restaurants in Williamsburg. The food is exquisite from soup to dessert, and the wine list is extensive. The baked oyster appetizer was delicious. It is our...

My boyfreind and I came here by chance, for a celebration dinner. We'd both been years ago. Made reservations on line for later time on a Friday nite. There was a musician playing lovely guitar music in the entrance (which we were able to enjoy in our dining area around the corner). After a brief wait we were seated at...

We were at La Yaca for lunch. Yes it is hard to find, but well worth it. I had a wonderful salad accompanied by great crusty French bread. It came with a choice of soup (onion or tomato basil) or salad (?). I had the onion and it did not disappoint. My friend had a steak dish for her entree....

Still freezing in Williamsburg. We had heard about this out of the way place from the owner of our Bed and Breakfast. We made reservations, actually got in the car and drove to the Kingsmills shops (very hard to find) We walked in and we felt as though we were back in France. The owner stopped by and welcomed us....

This restaurant was recommended to us by Virginians, so we thought that it was worth a try. We were seated at our table....and waited...and waited! After 10 minutes, a server folding napkins in another room of the restaurant looked at me and I gestured "What is NOT going on?" We were ready to leave the restaurant. Within a few minutes,...

Went to La Yaca last night for our 10 year anniversary. Made reservations online - very easy. Arrived early and they seated us right away. Service was great. Ordered escargot and it was the best I have ever had. Veal was good. Creme bruelle was so yummy I could have had seconds. I'm going to try the duck next time.
