The service is always great! Very clean and fast service. I had the shrimp scampi & it was so good. It seems like it's a small portion but it was a lot of pasta and the shrimp were jumbo. Breakfast menu is my personal fave but I believe breakfast is over at 11am. read more

We've ate at the Serrano Vista Cafe several times both at Yaamava' and at the Palms in Vegas. Both are really good. Service is great. Our last visit at Yaamava our server was Brook who was phenomenal! Ambiance is good at Yaamava, but like the ambiance at the Palms a little better. read more

I (Wife) had gone to this place a few weeks ago and ordered Gumbo, and I could not wait to go back. It went from being good to bad, but the Manager, Nicole was despicable. My Gumbo did not have a single piece of sausage and no visible crab meat like before. My Sister who also ordered the same meal, only had one piece of sausage. When we voiced our concern to our waitress, she said she would check with the chef. Later she returned with 3 small pieces of sausage for each of us. However, she was followed by her boss, Mgr, Nicole. She (Mgr) told her our server to tell us there is no guarantee of what you will get, its whatever comes up in the laydel. However, she stood right at our table and said this. Could she have been anymore unprofessional. They should not list ingredients, if they dont plan to ensure those items will be in the Gumbo. Please know a bowl of Gumbo is $36.00. This classless Mgr should never have told her employee that in front of paying customers. To make a bad situation worse, a male manager came over and asked what the problem was. He only said he would tell their boss. I would not go back if someone offered to pay me. Don't be deceived, you may or may not get what you think you are ordering. Mmm, Wife'-Sister's Gumbo surely didn't look like the picture. read more

Empty tables and a 40 min wait is shocking. If it wasn't for a seat at the bar we would have left. The hostess said you could ask the bar but we don't have room to seat you. It's very strange when you can see so many empty tables. Bar tender Greg was very nice. It seems to me every time I come here there is some issue with the quick serve. Last time it was rock n brews. This time the cafe. Had a chicken club. And I will tell you that the fries were the best thing in on the plate. The bacon was burnt and cold at the same time. Yet again Yamava your food is still bad. Thank you for your quick response You let me know the rock and brews is becoming a quick service. I would never eat there again it was the worst Father's Day meal I have ever had. It was so bad my dad made me take him to a diner on the way home. If you burnt that place to the ground rebuilt it and had a Michelin star I would still never step foot in that place. I am guessing it's all from a central kitchen. Based on how bad both restaurants are at food read more

Serrano Vista Cafe - Empty seats - Cafes Near Me - S Highland, California

Went for breakfast and was told 1 1/2 wait list for one person. I seen plenty of empty tables. They told me the bar is open for full menu. First come seating. Waiting that line for about 45 minutes and got a seat. Sat down got a menu no breakfast on it. Was told breakfast ended at 11, sat down at 1115am. At this point I just got up and left! Everything is a reservation at Yaamava and you have to make at least a week in advance. This whole place is beginning to suck, especially the attitude with the employees, restaurant staff, and parking staff. read more

I had a great time at Yaamava in San Bernardino for Labor Day. We had a delicious lunch at Serrano Vista Cafe. We tried the Passion Fruit Margarita (which didn't taste any passion fruit flaver), Clam Chowder (pretty good), Cheeseburger (very tasty), and the Salted Caramel Brownie A LA Mode (could have give bigger scoop of ice cream). The service was really good, and I'll definitely go back. read more

We had dinner here recently before seeing a show. We didn't have high expectations but ended up being very impressed. The food and service were both incredible. The burger was cooked exactly as requested, which I'm very picky about. The service was that of more of what you get in something closer to fine dining. At least that is the kind of service that Matthew provided. We will absolutely be coming back here even if it's just to eat and do nothing else at the resort/casino. Only knocked off a star because there were empty tables but a very long wait to be seated. They just be understaffed. Other than that the experience was top notch. read more

I finally got to try this restaurant! I've been to THE GROVE EXPRESS which is the to go area for this restaurant but today I'm actually dining in. I made a reservation for lunch for 2 people. No wait time, if you have a reservation and the full party. Sandra was our server and she was good. She was helpful, friendly, and welcoming. I asked if I could try the CLAM CHOWDER before ordering because I've never had it with Jalapenos before. She brought me a big tiny cup if that makes sense and I really enjoyed the taste but if I order a full bowl then I'll probably be over stuffed. I will definitely order the clam chowder next time because it was delicious with lots of ingredients. **Food took forever though... 41min wait from when we ordered. Calamari, poke nacho, and carne asada poutine were all so delicious! Prepared and cooked well. Restaurant has a nice ambiance. Very pretty restaurant with good food. read more

We came here for dinner since the steak house was all booked up. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs which was very delicious. My partner wanted to sea bass, but the waitress said they were sold out for the night, interesting that this is a 24/7 restaurant and something could be sold out. So, my partner who is allergic to sesame, ordered the BLT instead. We requested the wheat break since the multigrain would have sesame seeds. They still brought out the BLT with the multigrain bread. The server proceeded to say that it does not have sesame seeds, but it did. What is the point of asking about allergies when making a reservation and then requesting a different type of bread and they still bring out the wrong thing. It took so long for it to be replaced. My partner was siting there hungry while I was trying not to eat all my food, as it was getting cold. I am not sure if we will be back here. read more

We love this restaurant! Service is spot on great every time. They give little brown sugar cubes with your coffee and cute little jars of condiments. The water glasses are green glass. Every table has fresh roses. I love the citrus decor, being from Southern California its home charm. Food is healthy and reasonably priced. You should get a reservation a few hours before. You might be eating late if you don't. read more

Here for breakfast and their food is always delicious. I had the French toast today, and it was prepared perfectly. Hubby had eggs, potatoes, bacon and toast. Very much enjoyed. Our server today was Tyler, what a wonderful young woman. She had such a warm and welcoming spirit. She checked on us regularly and even brought us a pot of coffee to refill as we needed. That was the first time we've ever had that happen. Thank you Tyler for a great start to our day. read more

One star taken off because they never called us when our reservation was up. We had to ask. But the service was excellent though a lil slow and my shrimp scampi was huge and delicious. Would order again. I tried the club sandwich and it was tasty. The tamale fritters were so good. Took me back to Mexico. Haha. read more

Today's experience was definitely better than the previous. Our server was very nice, but she wasn't aware of the fish of the day and how it was prepared. She had to go back twice and she finally read the paper she had in her notes. Lol! I had the pleasure to meet Amy, one of the managers. She had spoke with my mom a few weeks ago regarding a previous concern I had with how our server used my moms comps. So last week was our first return since that experience, and we had Eugenia (if I remember her name correctly), she was a hoot! Great personality, fast, and on top of it! Definitely a better experience than prior visits. So there has been a few changes in the menu. Not sure if it's a seasonal thing or the economics of it all. The club sandwich we had last week was a heaping sandwich with 3 slices of bread. Today, it shrunk down to the typical 2 slice sandwich and our server informed us that they had recently cut back on the weight of the turkey in the sandwich. What? And the price is the same as last week?! Lol. COVID has played a toll on the increase of food prices everywhere. Well, I don't know that for sure, but I'll stick to blaming COVID. Lol Then there's the grilled cheese sandwich. It used to be a grilled cheese with tomatoe soup. Now it's a grilled cheese with tomatoes slices! Um, what?! The tomatoes soup is a classic way to serve up grilled cheese. I love dipping my grilled cheese in the soup. Now it's served with fries, salad, or fresh cut fruit. Don't change what wasn't broken! ‍ The one irritating excuse we had though while waiting for a table a few weeks ago, the host told us that they are cleaning tables and they'll send us a text message. So, this is an open dining room. You can see pretty much the entire dining room from the casino. There was no one cleaning tables and the there were only a couple tables with dirty dishes on them. What's important here, don't fib about the situation. I think the worse thing you can do to a guest is lie to them. Overall, our weekly experiences have improved. It was just unfortunate that when they initially opened this quaint restaurant, they set the bar way high. The service was great and had good selections on their menu. If I were to make one suggestion, work on menu selections/variety. I know I'm in a unique situation where I take my mom here every week, the menu can get boring. read more

One of several restaurants in the Yaamava casino. If you don't have reservations , the wait can get long. Prices are pretty reasonable. Menu was small. We ordered a simple green salad. For something so simple, it was very delicious. Really cold and crisp romaine lettuce, bite size cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes. I ordered the shrimp scampi. Hubby ordered the Reuben sandwich. They charge 6.50 for such a small salad though. The ambience was simple but nice with roses in a dainty vase on each table. I will return to try something else on the menu. read more

The good news is, that people are out and still willing to spend money. We came here on a Sunday before Memorial Day. Everyone had money to spend, the casino was packed and all the restaurants are fully booked. We were able to secure a table for 5 pm after 1.5-hour wait and sat around 5 pm. The restaurant wasn't crowded, so there may be a staff shortage of sort since there were a lot of tables open and the food took a lot longer to arrive. We ordered the Chicken Piccata, Ahi Tuna, Reuben Sandwich, Mahi Mahi, Poutine fries, and spaghetti w/ meatballs. The Mahi-mahi was fresh and the poutine carne asada style fries did pack a lot of flavors but the rest did not live up to the average $20+ price tag per plate. Most of the dishes came out room temp, the rice that came with the Ahi Tuna was cold. The presentation for all the plates was great but lacked flavor. This review is primarily based on the quality of food. The restaurant is nicely decorated, and elegant and the staff was wonderful. I was just really hoping for a pleasant dining experience after an hour drive. read more

This place was a treat for breakfast. They had a nice selection of food. The ambiance was very nice and the service exceeded my expectations. I ordered the fruit parfait which was delish, it had oats granola, berries and really smooth yogurt. Had the eggs Benedict which was good but the English muffin was a little doughy, could have been toasted better, I'd probably get sourdough toast with it next time. The country potatoes were ok, I'd prefer hash browns but they didn't serve hash browns. I had an orange juice that wasn't freshly squeezed but tasted like it was. I had a side of bacon which was perfectly crispy and delicious. My mom had 2 eggs over medium, the eggs were cooked perfectly. The chicken sauce was too salty for me but my mom liked it. The avocado toast without egg or smoked salmon was really good and fresh! The beignets were warm and pretty good. I'll be back to try their French toast next time. read more

We were provided such excellent service by Tyler who I've met previously on a different occasion. She was so polite, personable and very attentive. It was such a pleasure having her as our waitress at this enjoyable brunch meal. The bagel and lox always a must try. And of course the steak and eggs always cooked to perfection. But best of all the fluffiest pancakes that keeps us coming back along with, of course the awesome staff service that's very much appreciated read more

Serrano Vista Cafe - Clam chowder - Cafes Near Me - S Highland, California

I ordered the 2 egg plate with country potatoes and sourdough toast. The eggs arrived and they are clearly not over easy, not even over medium. These yolks had been ruptured in the kitchen and cooked hard. Hard and dry. I cut into pieces, thinking I would just eat them, but they were beyond. The sourdough toast came out....basically untoasted. So just to get something in my stomach, I ate a piece of the bread (not toast) and the potatoes. The potatoes were not bad. The waitress never came back to ask how our meal was. Just came at the end to give us our bill. My meal companion had the breakfast burrito and said that it was okay, nothing wrong, nothing spectacular, it was fine. I did mention to the waitress about my meal, that I didn't eat. Oh well. $45 for food that was not cooked properly at all. I won't be going back here. :( Such a shame since they closed down the Rock & Brews upstairs....not much more I can chose from. read more

Enter Serrano Vista Cafe You'll be bamboozled by the chic laid back decor and beautiful bar area. Upon being seated and interacting with the staff you'll soon realize this place is filled with smoke and mirrors. Let's start off with the poor customer service. We waited in a line of 1 hour Wednesday morning at 12:30am. We just formed a line and waited... waited more... and waited more... never once did a server tell us they'd be with us in a moment or a wait time or anything. I was alarmed to see all the Hispanic customers being seated at the bar. Every single other customer sitting at a table was Caucasian or Asian. I was greeted in Spanish by the host, who- you guessed it. Told me we would be seated in the bar area. I ordered a Diet Coke, to my surprise it wasn't diet. After about 20 minute I finally had that issue fixed. The service is cold, and you feel very rushed. I started off with the green chicken pozole which I had to send back. This was disgusting. It tasted like a chicken Tea. The broth was soo bland. That is not how pozole tastes. Ask any one of the Hispanic customers that you grouped together and forefully sat at the bar. Absolutely no salt or seasoning in th pozole. Disgusting. I also ordered a a steak meanwhile my friend ordered the chorizo and papa burrito and a Turkey club sandwich. Let's just say the food is not edible. I felt like I was eating at a hospital cafeteria. The food can be excused and tolerated- but the customer service is absolute trash. Save yourself a headache and go eat elsewhere. read more

Made reservation and was expected to wait 1 hour plus in line What's the point of making reservations then ?
