    Delicious food, generous portions, mostly had the tapas and the service was world class. Can't wait to try the other items on the menu

    YU was an incredible experience. The waiter was amazing and so patient with our big group and he remembered our entire order by memory and it was a lot. The food was incredible and the quality was incredible. Super amazing selection. They were also able to accommodate my gluten allergy and were very knowledgeable about it. It was incredible!
