"Perfection here! Ordered the salmon after both bartenders helped me navigate through the menu and offered suggestions on what I was leaning towards. Chef recommended a medium cook so that’s what I got and I could not be happier. The rice and veggies did more than hold up their end as amazing accompaniments. 10/10 need to visit."

"We were driving through Kansas and needed to stop for dinner. We were dressed in our gym clothes, thankfully we were seated. Most people were dressy casual clothing. This is.a good place for a date night. I enjoyed their Stegrita adult beverage. The lasgna is definitely large enough to share. The service was great. We left no trace of ever having the butter and."

"What a beautiful gem right in the plains of Kansas, you find this great restaurant and really cute town of Salina, Kansas. I travel for work so I’m always checking out new spots in love trying new places. They offer outside patio and inside dining as well as bar seating. The restaurant is very clean on the outside the inside and the surrounding areas. The bathrooms were very clean. They have table cloths that are changed after each customer. The decor is welcoming and feels fancy. My server was very sweet. She was kind. She explained everything. She offered her suggestions when I asked for advice, but she did also have her own recommendations, which I appreciated. She was an attentive to my needs. She also just converse with me as a regular person which I enjoyed. It wasn’t just about the menu. The food was great. I had a side salad, my main course was a fillet with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and I tried the butter cake. To drink I got the pear mule with cinnamon. No complaints whatsoever. The salad was the freshest salad. I’ve had in a while, and I love the fact that it was not out of a bag.. the fillet was perfect. The mashed potatoes were perfect and dessert. The butter cake was phenomenal. My short visit here in Salina Kansas has been great and I thoroughly enjoyed eating at this great restaurant in a small town."

"Fantastic experience for travelers! Great waitstaff service, food quality, portion sizes, and phenomenal local & scratch kitchen overall! We arrived around 7:20 pm on a Saturday night, fairly busy but seated immediately by hostess for a table of three (one adult, one toddler and one preschooler). Our server (Josh) was very attentive, informative and helpful. I am not a fan of capers, so they easily switched the caper sauce with a delicious apple maple one that complimented the flavors without being overwhelming. My salmon was cooked perfectly, very tender and no hint of dryness, with a light touch of crispy crust; roasted asparagus and a lightly crispy (not undercooked) white & wild rice mix that had refreshing notes of butter & lemon. Hefty serving of fruit alongside the cheeseburgers my kids ordered, and they enjoyed the dirt & worms ice cream dish in their kids meals. Creme brûlée for dessert was creamy and perfect! Lovely soft sourdough bread with the complementary Baba Ganoush before our food came to the table was so light and delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed our food, server was fantastic, appreciated options for many different dietary restrictions, and loved the flexibility of the kitchen in making things we could eat! Would definitely eat here again if in town."

"First off our waitress Amanda was warming and very helpful! She recommended what items from the menu and we were not disappointed at all! She was great! Secondly the food was delicious I had the Hot Honey Pizza and my wife had the 8 cheese raviolis with chicken. We both were very pleased with the food. Third the atmosphere was cool and inviting. Glad we stopped in and we would definitely eat here again."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently visited Yayas Restaurant during a work trip with my husband, and it was an absolute delight! We stayed at the Homewood Suites with our dog, and every day we’d walk past the restaurant to let our pup out. The incredible aromas from the kitchen always caught our attention, so we decided to check it out on our last night. We looked up their menu and saw they had some great happy hour deals, so we couldn’t resist getting a few small bites and some drinks! Our waitress Amanda was simply AMAZING! Very friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. For appetizers, we enjoyed the table-side bread with an eggplant and garlic puree, as well as the bruschetta with goat cheese. Everything was so good we decided to order more so we tried a cauliflower steak with pesto and melted cheese, delicious! We also splurged on their happy hour special: a pizza and a bottle of wine for just $25. We got the Italian hot honey pizza and it was as good if not better than our favorite pizza place in Korcula! The food was absolutely incredible, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. I wasn’t able to finish the bottle of wine and the chef vacuum sealed the bottle with our receipt for us to bring it up to the room with us! Overall, a fantastic dining experience. Service was excellent! We’ll definitely be coming back next time we’re in town for a work trip!"
