Yaya Coastal Cuisine

Yaya is an absolute gem, especially for dessert lovers – the cheesecake baklava deserves an award! I’d rate it a solid 9.4 for its unique flavor and texture. The hummus is also top-tier, paired with soft, doughy, and crisp edges pita that’s truly memorable. Top hummus in Miami. Service was excellent, a full 10/10. My group arrived late, and the staff helped us right away. Kelly, the bartender outside, went above and beyond, accommodating us in a comfortable lounge area where we could relax, have a couple of drinks, and catch up. It was perfect for a group setting. The music was just right, loud enough to enjoy but soft enough to easily hold a conversation. Though I didn’t get the chance to try the lobster risotto this time, I’ve heard great things and can’t wait to come back and finally have it. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a mix of great food, ambiance, and service!

Valet parking is $15, which is fairly standard. The ambiance is truly beautiful, with careful attention to detail that creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The patio with its stunning sea view is absolutely priceless. As for the food, we tried the burger pita, which was incredibly delicious. The Fatoush salad was a standout, offering a delightful mix of flavors with pomegranate and mint. The truffle French fries? Simply out of this world! Our waitress, Larissa, was very helpful and kind, making the experience even better. It’s a bit of a hidden gem, so I recommend adding a sign outside for easier discovery. Highly recommended!

YAYA is a must-visit for anyone in Miami! The coastal ambiance, chic decor, and waterfront views create the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. The live music was a standout feature, with beautiful violin sounds taking our experience to a whole new level! The menu was filled with fresh, flavorful dishes that were as visually stunning as they were delicious. Our server, Cash, was absolutely wonderful—attentive, friendly, and full of great recommendations that made our visit even more special. For amazing food, excellent service, and a unique atmosphere enhanced by live music, YAYA is the perfect spot. Highly recommend!

Yaya is our new Mandolin! The food, the vibes, the drinks - everything was 10/10! Highly recommend the Medi and Spicy Watermelon margarita for cocktails. The scallops crudo and octopus were excellent for appetizers. The olive oil cake was a light and fresh finished for dessert with the lemon curd and fresh berries. Such a well thought out and high quality menu, executed perfectly. We will be back!

Went to Yaya with 3 of my friends and we had a great time. The service was great, the ambiance was a vibe, and our food was good too. Our waiter and the rest of the staff were extremely nice and helpful, they even overheard us not being able to choose between two desserts and helped us come to a decision LOL. Overall nice place and I would definitely return!

There are a lot of restaurants in Miami, but rare to say it was a 10/10- Yaya definitely was! I can not say enough good things about our server Duane- very kind, attentive, and just overall perfect. The food was a hit from the octopus, and fried cheese and the beef/lamb burger was PHENOMENAL. Spicy watermelon margarita was also amazing, fresh and not artificially sweet. Beautiful ambiance outside as well, genuinely a great spot. Only valet though heads up!

We had a wonderful evening dinning on the waterside 🌴 Every dish we had was tasty, the service was friendly and the setting is beautiful Favorite dish - olives and the olive oil cake

WOW!! Extraordinary seamless experience with a palette explosion. The Food. The Ambiance. The View. The Attention to Detail. The Staff. This is a MUST in Miami!!
