    Pizza oven

    Brunch on Sunday! Sunday only, it is a buffet and at $35 per person, pretty reasonable. They offer $4 Bloody Mary or Mimosa's. I ordered a Bloody Mary and it was full size and very good, seasoned rim with lime and 2 olive garnish. They have Baba Ganoush on the buffet!!! It was set up with Hummus and fried pita bread for dipping. Just as good with the Pita Bread! The buffet was set up well, so there was room for people to go in the middle section as well as the other side. The other side had the Hummus and Baba Ganoush, bagels with 2 types of cream cheese as well as lox and capers, three different kinds of salad, shrimp with cocktail sauce, smoked trout, smoked salmon, lemon ricotta pancakes, chocolate banana waffles, biscuits and gravy. The middle section consisted of scrambled eggs, crispy potatoes, bacon, sausage, eggs benedict, two types of pasta, Cajun Chicken, mashed potatoes, roasted green beans, fresh fruit, a build your own yogurt bar with lots of toppings, and cranberry muffins. A pizza station with 3 or 4 types, and prime rib with horseradish sauce. Most things were delicious! Our server was Paige and she did a great job of keeping drinks filled and clearing plates and she was super friendly. The only downside was when the buffet ran out of something it took a bit of time to replenish and the dessert bar had a list of what was there but I didn't know what was what. I loved the mashed potatoes, the prime rib, and the smoked trout. Everything else was good, too.

    Really good experience overall! The ambiance and service were both great, and our waitress was so attentive, she even packed up our leftovers in the to-go box for us and dated it and wrote what was on it. The pasta was good, and the crème brûlée was also delicious

    Salad was fresh and tasty hit the spot

    Very popular and interesting restaurant with a few locations in the Midwest. Food is American version of Mediterranean, which is a great combination. Management puts a lot of attention into quality of food, service, and the dining experience. One detail is the bread service and no corners are cut with delicious fresh baked bread and some type of spread that is delicious but I have no idea what it was. One reason the restaurant is so popular is the bar area where they cook the pizzas and prepare the drinks is very inviting and blends into the dining room which spills into the outdoor patio. It is a very nice layout that creates an environment of hospitality. This is the second time I've eaten in as many locations and the service has been professional and good. Management takes time to make sure the staff is well trained. Although this is a chain, management takes great care to provide a good experience for the guests and everything seems homemade.

    Lived in Missouri all my life and I finally tried Yayas. I wasn't all too sure what to expect but I sure was blown away. First, the ambience makes you feel you traveled to Europe, sitting outside on a patio listening to the kind of music that allows you to feel relaxed and take your time. Second, the service was explemary Friendly and attentive servers who come by often and whom are informative. Next, the food. I came for lunch so the menu is limited with more bistro offerings such as café style sandwiches, salads and flatbread pizzas. I got lost in the small plates because honestly I was in the mood for beef carparrchio and it did not disappoint! The finely thinned slice beef melted in your mouth, the burst tomatoes and goat cheese cream elevated the experience, even the lightly dresses argula offered a lemony citrus to cut through the richness. The only thing I would say is I could've used more crostinis. Next, I chose the gnocchi. And they are silky pillows of heavenly goodness resting ina gorgonzola cream sauce with spinach, crumbles of gorgonzola and almonds layered it with palatable goodness. I could've drank the sauce from the bowl. Lastly, finished off with the Phyllis brownie. They make this fresh to order so expect about 15 minutes. When brought out, the brownie is warm and gooey, bathed in a lightly sweetened creme anglaise with vanilla bean ice cream. The brownie oozed delightfully from the phyllo dough and you need every bit of the anglaise to sop it up as its rich and chocolately. This was a superb lunch. I recommend it, stop passing by this place and try it out!

    Considering food, service and ambience, YaYa's came out on top! Enjoyed a terrific dinner salad. In our group, all were satisfied with entree, salad choices and desserts. Nice alcohol choice menu.

    We came here for happy hour yesterday and we ordered four appetizers and they are all so good! I forgot to take pictures until we almost cleaned the plates. We ordered four appetizers chocolate martini, raspberry lemon drop, raspberry martini, and another two drinks. Everything is so good and the service is fantastic! Definitely want to come back for happy hour!

    I've been to YaYa's Euro Bistro many times, it never ever disappoints. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts, especially the patio, which is perfect on a nice evening and gives the whole experience a relaxed but elevated feel. Pro tip: order the chocolate soufflé as soon as you sit down since it takes time to prepare and trust me, it's absolutely worth it. It's rich, and easily one of the best desserts I've had. For entrées, the shrimp risotto is delicious - it's creamy, flavorful, and just perfect. The crab cakes are another go-to made of all real crab Service has always been friendly, attentive, and efficient without feeling too rushed. Overall, it's a spot I keep coming back to for both the food and the ambiance (and a great happy hour menu might I add)

    Dinner YaYa's European Bistro was very busy on a Wednesday. Even with reservations we had a ten-minute wait for a table. (I was reminded of the Seinfeld episode with the line "that's the point of a reservation, so we don't have to wait"). Cocktails: a Pomegranate Cosmopolitan (Pomegranate Vodka, Pama Liqueur, Gran Gala, & Cranberry Juice) and a Mother's Milk Margarita (made with Reposado and Grand Marnier). Very Good!!!! Appetizer: Babaganoush with Fresh Bread. Complimentary and very good. Soup: YaYa's House Soup ... roasted chicken, tomato broth, zucchini, yellow squash, saffron orzo. I was reminded of my mother's homemade soup that I haven't had in years. Entree's: Angel Hair Pomodoro ... Sautéed roma tomatoes, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil; Pork Chop: Potato pavé, wilted greens, bacon, bourbon apple glaze. Very good. Dessert: Buttercake ... fresh baked brown butter cake, house-made whipped cream, vanilla bean ice cream, berries, caramel sauce and a Phyllo Brownie ... Warm chocolate brownie wrapped in phyllo dough and baked. Served with vanilla ice cream. Oh my ... so-o good. All in all, a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommen

    We typically avoid dining out on Valentine's Day because kitchens tend to get overwhelmed and the staff stretched thin, but YaYa's in Chesterfield completely flipped that script. We had such a positive experience that we recently returned for a second visit with my in-laws who live nearby, and the consistency across both meals really stood out. The Atmosphere & Elite Service During our first visit (the Valentine's Day rush), we requested a booth in the back of the restaurant. This is a great move--it keeps the ambient noise at a very reasonable level, making it perfect for a conversational double date. Our server was exceptionally competent, fun, and took the time to build a genuine rapport with us. Our second visit was on a Sunday evening. The dining room was buzzing with several large parties, and despite most tables being full, the staff handled the crowd flawlessly. Cocktails & Wine * Manhattan: A very well-executed, classic take. They used a non-rye whiskey (if I had to guess, maybe Four Roses), which made for a fantastic, smooth start to the evening. * Cabernet (Bottle): We split a bottle of red with dinner. The wine pricing here is very reasonable, offering great value if you're ordering by the bottle rather than the glass. The GOAT Starter & Salads * Bread & Baba Ghanoush (5/5): This is the undisputed GOAT. It is so incredibly tasty that we definitely ate way more bread than we should have on both visits before the entrees even arrived. Oops. * Bill's Chicken Salad (4.5/5): My wife ordered this on our first visit and absolutely loved it. The chicken has a fantastic coconut coating, and the portion is plentiful enough to serve as a hearty, satisfying entrée. * Spinach Salad (3.5/5): Simple and tasty with a mild blue cheese. The dressing was a bit light, though, and some of the leaves weren't fully coated. The Main Event * Trout Almondine (4.25/5): A beautifully executed classic. It's a fantastic lower-carb option--though we admittedly sabotaged any carb-cutting by eating so much of that complimentary bread! Highly recommend this dish. * Filet Mignon (4/5): Cooked to a perfect medium-rare as requested, served with a mild blue cheese and a flavorful sauce. Pro Tip: I opted to swap the standard potato purée for their crispy potatoes, which was an excellent move. The downside here was the plating, which lacked symmetry and felt sloppy. The sauce was only on half the steak, the cheese was unevenly distributed, and the potatoes were simply piled on top of the meat and veggies. The steak juices were also spread across the entire dish, suggesting it was rested right on the plate before serving. Lastly, the haricots verts portion was surprisingly small (maybe 5 pieces total). * Cheese Ravioli with Blackened Shrimp (4.25/5): The ravioli itself is straightforward, but the sauce is the star--packed with fresh tomatoes and a ton of fresh sautéed garlic. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, though the protein portion felt a little small. Dessert * Tiramisu (3.75/5): A nicely executed, traditional take on the classic. I especially enjoyed that it was served with a delicious scoop of espresso ice cream! Elite Tip: If you want a quieter evening where you can actually hear your tablemates, definitely request a booth in the back section. And do not shy away from customizing your sides--the crispy potatoes are a massive upgrade!

    The bread and baba ganoush they serve at the beginning is probably my favorite thing ever. I got iced tea with mango flavoring - so good! I get salmon everywhere I go, here it was so flavorful and became one of my favorites.

    Complimentary Baba Ganoush

    Came here to celebrate a work colleague's birthday and couldn't have been more pleased. We arrived at 11:30, which unbeknownst to me was peak lunch time or is it always busy like that? Regardless, it was way more crowded than I imagined but thankfully, the rest of our party was seated as they made a reservation. We were greeted by our server and after a few minutes was given some water. Shortly after drinks were dropped off, we were given bread and Baba Ganoush. Now, I've been here two other times and I don't resell ever being served this. I'm unsure if this is something new, and if it is, PLEASE keep it up! This was my first time having it and now I'm hooked! The flavors of garlic, eggplant and everything else was bursting through each bite and I couldn't get enough. The bread was fresh and warm, which is always a plus. After a short while, our entrees arrived. I got the full shrimp risotto (the server said the portion size was comparable to the half). I've had the dish before, so I was looking forward to it being creamy, cheesy, and full of flavor. Instead, I tasted corn, and more corn and missed out on what I thought would be full of cheesiness. The shrimp was incredible and perfect like I expected. Unfortunately, the corn was a bit much and overpowered the rest of the dish. Aside from that, despite it being busy, our server was incredibly attentive and efficient. I have no doubt I'll be back but for a different dish next time.

    I have previously given very good reviews here. And we are frequent customers. But tonight was very disappointing from both a food and service perspective. We ordered the "Valentine Special" which is a filet with two shrimp and potato croquet. The croquet was still ice cold in the middle and the shrimp was so overcooked it was inedible. The filet was cooked and seasoned extremely well. That can absolutely happen so we let our server know and he even felt the the croquet and said oh yeah and that was it. He seemed utterly oblivious. Too many good places in the area and very disappointed as a long time customer.

It was very cucumber forward, had a nice heat, but lacked that signature lime flavor and tartness required of a good margarita. The brussel sprouts and cheese grits were a must try for me. The pork chop was the perfect entree to accompany these sides. The brussel sprouts were charred and crispy. The balsamic glaze paired nicely with the charred flavor. The pork chop is served in a very generous portion juicy and tender. The citrus sauce paired nicely with the pork. The cheese grits were creamy and delicious. All in all a delightful meal.

Our waiter was very pleasant and gave us plenty of time to decide in between friendly chatter. We had a little mishap where my friend's wine (red wine) fell off the tray and went everywhere. They gave him some towels and soda water to clean and were very apologetic. He was wearing jeans, thankfully! They even took it off his bill to compensate for the trouble. The manager came out and again apologized. We started with some calamari which were delicious and freshly prepared. They were light and crunchy with a wonderful marinara accompaniment. I ordered the ahi tuna prepared medium, served on top of sushi rice. Both the preparation and flavors were exceptional. We were offered dessert twice but simply could not accommodate any more. The food we had were good and satisfied our appetite. I would, of course, like to come back here and try their steak someday!
