Yves — Restaurant in New York

Unfortunately we had a really subpar experience for how hyped up this place was. We were a table of 5 and 2 of our drinks didn't come out until we flagged down what seemed to be the only waitress to ask about the missing drinks. She was so kind and immediately grabbed them for us. But then the entire table got their meals except my burger didn't come out. The wait was so long that the rest of my group had finished their meals by the time mine came out and again we had to ask the waitress about the food before it came. The food itself wasn't flavorful which was quite disappointing. We also had to wait a long time for someone to come get our check to the point that we ended up walking it over to the hostess. They comped a portion of the bill which was very generous, but overall not really worth it when there are so many other brunch spots...

I was strolling through the neighborhood yesterday with my friend and my dog when we decided to stop at Yves Restaurant. We chose to sit outside because of the dog, and I can’t rave enough about how friendly and accommodating the staff was. A special shoutout to Marcus, who went above and beyond! Not only did he bring out water and a dog bowl for my pup, but he also prepared some chicken for her when I mentioned I had forgotten her food. It was such a thoughtful gesture that really made our day.

As for the food, it was absolutely delicious—every bite exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, and I’ll definitely be coming back, again and again. Yves is an amazing spot with top-notch service, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal, especially if you’re out with your...

I walked in and sat down and was about to order. They asked me if I wanted a glass of still or sparkling. I said sparkling. Just then, I realized I had a conflict, so I got up to leave but felt badly that they just poured an 8 oz glass of sparking. I gave them a $20 and said “just give me $15”, thinking that paying $5 was probably generous to a fault, but whatever.

After waiting for 15 minutes for the manager — yes, the manager — to magically convert my $20 into change from the back, he looked at me and said “it’s $9”.

I sat for 60 seconds and life sometimes happens and you get pulled away. A classier place would have said “don’t worry about it”. I have lived around the corner for three years, but for whatever reason, I had never tried the place.

I hate it when I try new things and this sort of...
