The atmosphere and food was amazing. We enjoyed our anniversary there. They even included a small momento on our desserts to acknowledge our anniversary. The drink selection is great.

This is probably the fanciest restaurant in the area which happens to be French. Located in a shopping center you wouldn’t think much of it but when you step foot inside it feels like you’re transported to another place. Elevavated ambiance makes for a luxurious feel and the food didn’t disappoint either. Had the 5 course menu to try a little bit of everything. The crab crepe was something unique and tasty, also the steak, fish and crab cake was wonderful. Desserts were tasty as well. Onion soup was good but not great, maybe that’s just my preference. Definitely a restaurant id return to if I’m back in the area.

Absolutely amazing food, experience, and service. I got a simple glass of Pinot Grigio, started with the most amazing soup that is most definitely my favorite soup to date (fennel and potato), lobster and crab cake entree, and finished with a tiramisu. Every single bite was unbelievable.

10/14/25 Had the most delightfully delicious lunch meal ever at Le Yaca. Ming, our server, was just a joy and his recommendations for wine and specialties were perfect.

The food was amazing. The atmosphere was really good. I was a bit disappointed that it took almost 10 minutes after we were sitting for the waiter to come around. I was already thinking of leaving. Then we ordered a couple of drinks which also took a long time to arrive. The taste of the drinks and the food made it for the wait, but at times it felt like we were unattended. Overall good, but I had greater expectations.

We had the five-course dinner a while back, and I have to say that Le Yaca is an excellent fine dining option in Williamsburg. The service, food, and decor were all superb. Le Yaca is probably the best place to eat at in Williamsburg and the 757.

Despite being a tourist destination in the Hampton Roads with attractions like CW and Busch Gardens, Williamsburg suffers from a serious dearth of decent dining and cafe options. Many food establishments in Williamsburg are run by people who do not know their craft. There are some businesses that go as far as reacting in a hostile manner to deservedly negative reviews instead of using them as feedback to improve.

Anyways, Le Yaca is worth splurging on in Williamsburg and is an exception in an otherwise sad food scene.

Had an amazing lunch with out of town friends. Food did not disappoint. Service as well. Was a little warm in the room but all else was great. French Onion Soup, Homard and Scallops all amazing.

I was transported back to France. We knew this would be a wonderful experience when we tasted the baguettes with he crust that as crisp and the soft insides it was the beginning of a culinary adventure. The onion soup is not the traditional style but a puréed version which was very flavourful. We had Beef Wellington with peppercorn which was so tender I could cut it with my fork. It was delicious. Do not skip dessert. I had the Chocolate Fondant with crème.and highly recommend it. My husband had Crème Brûlée and it was equally delicious.

Pricey! But excellent all around. Ming was a wonderful waiter, never rushed us but was there as needed. Everyone’s food was done perfectly and tasted awesome. Definitely an occasion kind of place.

After a long day of traveling—seven hours by plane and car—we were excited to wind down with a great meal and try a new spot in town. We were visiting for a trip to Busch Gardens and had read fantastic reviews about this restaurant. The backstory, ambiance, and French cuisine all drew us in.

Before making our reservation, we made sure to check for any dress code policies. I wore shorts and a jacket—nothing inappropriate—and my friend was dressed in an Arsenal kit with jeans and a matching hat. We arrived in high spirits and were seated promptly.

Unfortunately, shortly after being seated, we overheard a rude and unnecessary comment from a guest across the room regarding my friend’s hat. Out of respect, he removed it without issue. However, moments later, the situation escalated when that same individual used a slur directed at me. My friend immediately got up and calmly spoke to the manager, requesting that we be moved to another table.

The staff handled everything with professionalism and compassion. We were promptly relocated across the restaurant and offered complimentary drinks (which we had no expectation of receiving). A manager—who was pregnant, though I didn’t catch her name—personally came to our table, apologized sincerely, and reassured us that the guest responsible for the comment was asked to leave and would no longer be welcome at the establishment. (Blacklisted)

What could’ve been a very uncomfortable evening was handled with care, empathy, and incredible professionalism. The food was outstanding—my duck breast was easily a 20/10, exceeding all expectations. I truly want to thank the entire team for turning a negative moment into a reminder of what exceptional service looks like.

Whenever I’m in town, I’ll go out of my way to return here, and I’ll be recommending this place to everyone I know. Thank you again for your kindness and your commitment to making your restaurant a welcoming space for all.
