    Yaya's is a quaint Euro style woodsy-chic bar & eatery located in the downtown area. They offer hand-tossed, oak-fired pizza & other Mediterranean eats are served at this woodsy-chic bar & eatery. I had the spinach salad which is served with baby spinach, spiced walnuts, dried cranberries, gorgonzola, cranberry sage vinaigrette. It was light, yummy and refreshing. As my main, I opted for the penne carbonara which was served with roasted chicken, sweet peas, caramelized onions, crispy bacon, parmesan and black pepper garlic cream. This dish was fabulous and my absolute favorite carbonara in a long time! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is decorated nicely, it's clean and spacious and the staff was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will recommend this spot to my colleagues when visiting!

    Angel hair pasta with chicken

    Went there as a group. They seated us pretty quick. They were not super busy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Liked the overall feel; elegant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They forgot the calamari we ordered; brought late after we reminded them. My angel hair pasta dish was good, but the beef Carpaccio was lukewarm. My folks were not impressed so much. Maybe next time we will try some other dishes.

    The end result

    It was an unexpected treat to find YaYas in Salina, Kansas. The food was excellent across the board. The Mezza and the Bolognese were the clear stars of the evening, though the ravioli and shrimp risotto should not be overlooked. Service was equally impressive--Eaton was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly committed to doing a great job. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was fun and lively, and from the moment we walked in until the time we left, every member of the staff greeted us with genuine smiles.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Lasagna

    It was an okay visit. We were seated quickly but waited a long time to meet our server. She's was decent but rough start. The food was OK. We expected more. My friend had the beet salad and it was tiny with very little greens. The waiter brought more. I had the lasagna. It was very dry, so I didn't finish it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was clean, almost steak house vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wouldn't return.

    /SALAD/SANDWICH COMBO

    My dad and I had lunch at YaYa's when I flew into Salina. Darius was our server and he took great care of us. The bread was some of the best I've ever had. The baba ganoush was wonderful. I ordered the half salad, half sandwich. The Bill's chicken salad and C.B.S. sandwich were great. My dad is a picky eater and he loved the salmon piccata. They cooked the asparagus so well, which most places don't do. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant had a charm to it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We can't wait to try other dishes there.

    Had the shrimp risotto
    Spencer H.

    Had the shrimp risotto and it was amazing. I would order this again without hesitation. We were seated quickly and the food came out quickly. Had some Truffle fries as an appetizer, crispy fries are my favorite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is very welcoming and comfortable![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    1987 cocktail
    Adrian P.

    Definitely a place to go if you're near Salina. [[HIGHLIGHT]]In a. quiet dining room, a white tablecloth, excellent service, outstanding food, and cocktails were a delight.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The 1987 (smokey scotch on the rocks) and mushroom toast were a perfect start for a cool fall evening. The entrees were both delicious.

    Outstanding!!! After driving for much of the day then working this was quite the place to end the day! We started out with Crab Cakes & Gnocchi for our appetizers! Wow - Crab Cakes were phenomenal!! The best was yet to come. Everyone in the group order the 8 oz Filet Migon. None of the group was disappointed. A prefectly cooked steak topped with Blue Cheese crumbles. A fantastic steak with silky mashed potatoes along with green beans compliment the meal! We all also had a fantastic server and was right there when we needed something! If I'm ever passing though Salina again this is a must stop for dinner!!

    An interesting visit to Chuck's Bar. Not quite the same results as my stop in February. I did…read morerecommend this to our group because we had great service and good food! This time maybe a bit different. Our group of 8 started out with the Potato Skins and The Sampler! Both were very good and would definitely recommend! I chose the Whiskey Creek Burger as did two others in our group. The consensus / good burger but overcooked and not enough bbq sauce. Another chose the Leroy Brown, 2 more got Bacon Cheese Burger, another 1/2 Club - overall the lunch was well liked. Our server was great and she kept on top of everything. Doubtful our travels will pass through here again but if in the area it's a worthy stop!

We ordered trash can nachos and sliders as our meals. The nachos were the first thing to come out, yes before the appetizer. They were terrible, no lettuce, no shredded cheese, had ordered with extra jalapenos, there were none. The top had some kind of hamburger gravy looking stuff on it, the pico was completely hidden, they didn't taste good. The cheeseburger sliders came out and one had mushrooms on it. Finally the sampler came out and it was all pretty much burnt, the rattle snake eggs had bacon on it that was so done it just feel apart and the peppers were burnt. The waitress came over and got us boxes and left the check and listen to our concerns. She obviously didn't want to face the problem because she never came back to the table. We had to go to the bar to pay. There wasn't one apology or offer to make it better. Chuck's you need to do better.

A server took my order so I waited an hour for my dinner and everyone else had finished eating before mine everyone arrived. Will was our server and was overwhelmed but between Will and Manager Emma made it right for me and I was satisfied with the recovery of the errors. Things happen and just have patience with the staff if possible. I was starving so I was wanting to be upset but breathe and let them do what they do. I appreciated them for making it a good experience instead of leaving and give terrible reviews or bad tips. That's a no no. Just speak to them. I went 5 star because of the effort given once a problem occurred.

The mirrors and windows were dirty, and my booth had crayons, hair, and crumbs both in the seat crack and on the floor. There was also gum stuck underneath the table. As I waited, I watched an employee cleaning nearby tables. They wiped the tabletop and even cleaned the floor, but they completely neglected to clean the booth seats. I also saw another employee wipe down the half wall next to the booths without using any cleaning spray--they simply rubbed it with a towel. Watching those cleaning practices made me even more concerned about the restaurant's overall cleanliness. The menu was very large with lots of items to choose from, but there were no daily specials or featured menu items, which was a little disappointing. I ordered the Mushroom Swiss Burger with fries and mozzarella sticks. The burger was very disappointing. The beef had almost no flavor except for the crusty outside, the mushrooms were raw and didn't seem fresh, and the tomatoes tasted old. The mozzarella sticks tasted like they came straight from the frozen food aisle, and when I broke one open, water poured out, which was very unappetizing. On top of that, the wait for my food was much longer than expected. Overall, the cleanliness, food quality, and long wait made for a very disappointing dining experience. Based on what I experienced and observed, I don't plan to return unless these issues are addressed. (When I tried to address these concerns in person, I was greeted by a woman who identified herself as "one of the managers," which suggests there are multiple managers responsible for the restaurant at the same time? Which was weird. Makes me wonder how the kitchen staff is set up. Is there a head chef and does everyone communicate to each other? I shared my concerns respectfully, but what was even more disappointing was discovering that many of the same issues I experienced today have been mentioned repeatedly in customer reviews going back as far as six months. In many of those responses, management assured customers the problems would be addressed, yet I observed many of the same issues firsthand. That gives the impression that these concerns are acknowledged publicly but not consistently corrected.)
