YaYa's Euro Bistro

This is by far the best quality restaurant in Salina. I cannot afford to go everyday but it is a great spot for a true special occasion. I had the best steak I have ever had. Their baba ghanoush is a great complimentary appetizer.

$26 not incuding drinks person for brunch. The buffet was nothing special at all. I'm very disappointed. The server was very chatty with the table of patrons he knew right next to us. He was chatting for 20 minutes while ignoring us trying to get our ticket to leave. Will never visit again.

The food was phenomenal, but the service? For the Love of Logan! She is fantastic; and the only thing better than the (incredible!) butter cake.

Once again found Yaya's thru Google in our continuing search for new restaurants wherever we are. We just spent the day at the Smoky Hill Bombing Range during their Open House. We were at Yaya's during off peak hours. Service was great, the food portions were excellent as was the flavor. We ordered the trout and the lasagna, with a bottle of wine. I'm glad to see more restaurants of this caliber in this region. It's a welcome addition.

Very helpful and attentive wait staff. They always greet you on the way in and out. The food is excellent, all 3 times I have been it has exceeded expectations. If you are looking for one of the best restaurants in Salina, look no further!

Our food experience here was probably a 5 star average. The appetizers were all very good. We had crab cakes, and some kind of chicken flatbread pizza-type dish. Both were very good, but our favorite was the complementary bread with baba ganoush!

The entrees were all very good. For the price, I would not order the ribeye again. It was cooked perfectly, and had a nice smokey flavor, but overall was not quite as flavorful as other ribeyes I've had. The food here is very pricey in general, and I question it's sustainability in Salina, but I'll hope for the best.

We had to wait about 30 minutes to get into the restaurant, which is fine and normal. After we were seated, it took about 10 minutes for us to even get water. The hostess walked by and had to ask if we had been served, we told her no, so she notified someone. A few minutes later, a manager or floater walked to us and got us our water. A few minutes later after we drank most of our water, our waitress came by and got our order for drinks. The alcoholic drinks took at least another 10 minutes to arrive. We ordered and the food was delivered in what I considered a timely fashion. We then got our checks and put the cards in, and waited and waited and waited until finally someone in our party got up and flagged down another waitress walking by. Our waitress came back and apologized saying she thought someone else got our checks for us. Overall, we were at our table for an hour and fifty minutes, watching multiple people get seated after us, and leave before us (so I take it this is not the average experience).

With the prices of Yaya's, we expect excellent service, which we did not receive, so we will likely not be back, at least for a while.

I do want to say props to the shorter dark haired hostess though, as she stayed very busy, was the first to get things going at our table, and was busy cleaning when I walked to the restroom and out of the restaurant. Thank you!

Overall, I could recommend this place on food quality alone, and hope, and believe, you would get better service.

Update: We went back and the food was great. Our server was EXCELLENT this time. He recommended buttercake for dessert and it became a new favorite. Updated from 3 to 5 stars after this experience!

Stopping through and had some late lunch here. We were so impressed! We are restaurant owners as well and were very struck by the way staff worked together to the public eye. Ryan provided the greatest of service (love the brief history of the establishment!), and the accommodations for food allergies were top-notch. Thank you for the experience. Will be back if we ever come back thru Salina!

This restaurant is truly top notch! From the moment we arrived, the welcoming, smiling faces of the staff was so refreshing. Our waitress Thalia was super sweet, Alicia, one of the managers, made my husband and myself feel like family! She went about and beyond to make sure our experience at their restaurant was perfect! And it was! I had the shrimp ravioli, and my husband had the baked chicken with the fried potatoes, it was delicious. You have to get the Butter Cake for dessert! It was soo good! I will definitely return to this restaurant! 10 out of 10

Alicia the hostess was especially helpful. She got us a table inside even though needed a reservation since outside seating so hot. She checked on us a couple of times. Good server and food too! Great experience!

My waitress was Jordan and she was an absolute delight. She gave a great wine suggestion that worked perfectly with my sea scallops. The flavors were outstanding!
It could be argued that it was a little pricey. To those who might say so, I say, well worth the price. Literally the only negative is rather insignificant. The music was a bit loud for the classy atmosphere.

Amazing customer service and even better food. I had the Salmon (medium) salad, butter cake, and raspberry lemon drop (well balanced drink not too sweet). The Salmon didn’t carry a fishy taste or smell. Perfectly cooked. Came with sourdough bread and a eggplant spread with herb oil. Reasonably priced.

Honestly this review is solely based on the butter cake which we had for desert. I’ve travelled to 40 countries and this is one of the best deserts I’ve ever had in my life. It’s life changing. It’s pure decadence on a plate. The cake itself is moist and delicate, the sauce is rich and luxurious. You’ve got to order it when you visit YaYa’s!

Excellent restaurant, beautiful town & patio. I was surprised since it was so far from any metropolitan areas

The food was incredibly delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly, the flavors were excellent and the presentation was appetizing. The portion size was ample. The server was attentive and friendly. I really enjoyed my meal.

The pizza was amazing! Also the appetizers, especially the gluten free bread and the goat cheese one

Wonderful food, each dish had distinct flavors with beautiful plating. Try the cauliflower steak! Service was excellent.
