Great restaurant in the Yaamava' Casino. Lots of seating. SERVICE: Pretty good for a casino place. They got us seated immediately and got our order pretty quick. FOOD: Again, pretty good and better than I expected. I had the steak sandwich and it was bomb! My daughter said the shrimp scampi was also yummy. Can't gamble all day - go eat! This place is a good option. read more

Service was good. Nice servers, nice manager. The environment was appealing. I ordered the steak, but unfortunately the texture was not as buttery as I was hoping. The broccolini was flavorless. Thankfully the mashed potatoes were the saving grace, absolutely delicious. The chicken tortilla soup was also pretty good, perfectly seasoned. Pros and cons. Either way, not a terrible experience. I would come back, I just hope they start seasoning the broccolini. read more

This restaurant needs to get their house in order... Massive amounts of empty tables 4 people standing at the Hostess desk laughing and talking with one woman working her hinnie off.... No manager in sight.... Put in our reserves and we're told 30/40 minutes... at 49 minutes we're told there are 6 tables ahead of us, at one hour in a hangery state I'm told they would seat us right away... Thank God I'm nice~ish, can't imagine how some people treat the waitress at this point... Pretty prompt service at the table. Talked to the team leader and was told they won't hire more help... it was BLATANTLY obvious they were understaffed. Turning people away left and right... And these poor servicer are literally running from table to table.... And it's the fight night...... SERIOUSLY!!!! My advice to the owners, managers..... decision makers........ Get your act together...... Do you wonder why you have a high turnover...??? GET A CLUE!!!! read more

I haven't been here lately, but everytime I went there in the past the food was very good. You would get a good amount of food for your money. I would get better service whenever I ate at the bar versus being seated at a table. I just haven't been there lately because Yaamava has just about cut me out of just about all offers. I can't eat there with the $10 that they give me for food. read more

Great place for a quick bite at Yaamava. Food tasted great. Would come back again to ty their other offerings. read more

Service was horrible in the F. O. H 1/10 Inside the establishment our server was friendly & attentive Our first time dining in w/family. Prices are reasonable. Food is delicious & beautifully presented! Ambiance is nice! The chairs in the dining area are not my favorite, little too tight for wide hips, it was a squeeze! Had to opt for a chair with no arm rest. We ordered $33 Steak & eggs, $24 Chicken club sandwich w/fruit, $20 lemon pepper wings,$11 tortilla soup,$24 Korean chicken sandwich with fries . *Drinks not included! read more

Surprisingly delightful experience. The food was great, the service was great. Our waitress Elle was very bubbly, very enthusiastic and helpful. The coffee was delicious! I'd come back to the cafe just for the coffee! I came for two meals, dinner with the husb and breakfast by myself. I forgot to take breakfast pictures, but all delicious. I had the chicken and avocado sandwich, very tasty along with a salad instead of fries. The husb had the spaghetti with meatballs. We both enjoyed our meals. Dessert was also delicious. We had the chocolate moose. For breakfast I had the oatmeal and everything bagel with cream cheese. At night it was quiet, but breakfast was busy! You have to make reservations, you cannot just walk in. The cafe has a nice ambience. I'm telling the husb that we will be back! read more

What a great vibe in this cafe located inside Yaamava casino. Staff is super sweet and food is outstanding. Pastrami sandwich is packed full; Santa Maria Tri Tip was just so flavorful and smelled so good. Fries were perfectly cooked. Waitstaff overheard that it was my birthday and surprised me with a yummy piece of cake and were kind enough to NOT sing happy birthday . Their menu is small but food is we prepared. They are open 24 hours and I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

Some highlights: - The decorated Y on the big medal they call butter - The breakfast combo comes with not the typical 2, but THREE juicy sausages - The bacon was plentiful as well - Attentive and nice staff (thank you Vanessa and Sandra!) We didn't know they need reservations but we got on their waiting list and played some slots for 20 or so minutes before we got a text for a table. Other than that, I liked this cafe for brunch for a more quiet and calm environment. read more

Serrano Café inside Yaamava Casino never disappoints. Today I ordered the ribeye cooked medium rare and the shrimp scampi pasta--both were absolutely delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly, juicy, and full of flavor, and the shrimp scampi pasta was rich, fresh, and very satisfying. Shoutout to our waitress Kimberly--she provided excellent service from start to finish. She was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. I definitely recommend making a reservation because this place can get pretty busy, but coming during the week made it a smooth and enjoyable visit. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere every time I come here. I'll definitely be back! read more

The three of us had dinner at Serrano Vista Café before a concert at the Yaamava' Theater. I'm glad I called to make a reservation since there were no bookings available online. I apologize for forgetting her name, but our waitress was wonderful, very friendly and helpful in explaining the menu. I ordered the pork chop, and she mentioned it might take about 20 minutes to prepare, but it actually arrived in just 10 minutes. My friend ordered the shrimp scampi, and my cousin chose the jambalaya. The jambalaya came with a really delicious cornbread. Since we were sharing everything, we wished the cornbread had been a little bigger! Overall, the dinner was delicious and the service was excellent. We also had a great time at the Big 4 concert afterward. Just a heads up, the theater doesn't allow outside food, so we had to throw away our leftovers, which was a bit of a bummer for my friend. Other than that, Serrano Vista Café is a great spot to grab a meal before a show. read more

Came here for breakfast. First off the prices for the breakfast are bit on the pricey side. Service was great and coffee was also really good. The devote in the restaurant was good. The restaurant is located inside the casino. Easy to get there with visible signs leading you to the restaurant. I'm got the steak breakfast burrito which was okay. Very little meat in the burrito and they charged $25 for it. It did come with home potatoes which were okay. My husband got the Serrano breakfast plate which came with eggs, bacon and a stack of pancakes, which he enjoyed. It was a mixed review for us because he liked his breakfast and I thought my burrito was okay. read more

Serrano Vista Cafe at Yaamava Hotel & Casino is the kind of casual breakfast spot that makes you wonder why more casinos don't have something this reliably good. The dining space was comfortable, service was attentive, and the tables were set up nice and clean. THE FOOD. - Pastrami Hash. The pastrami was savory, smoky, and perfectly seasoned. I asked for two over easy eggs on top so I could break the yolk and mix it in with the pastrami (you can't go wrong with this). A line of spicy chipotle sauce encircled the dish and gave it that extra flavor enhancement that turned out to be so delicious! Highly recommend. - Asada Breakfast Burrito. Tender, marinated asada wrapped in a soft tortilla with just the right amount of eggs and cheese. The side of crispy potatoes were hearty and perfectly seasoned too. I have to say, this was a pretty good breakfast burrito! THE DRINKS. - Coffee. Rich, smooth, and hot; the wake-up you need after a night of laughs and gambling. THE PARKING. There are two self-parking garages which are free for visitors. The north garage connects to the casino via a pedestrian bridge on level 4. It's the garage you want to park in if you want the most direct walking access. The south garage is further away, but they have a courtesy shuttle running 24/7 if you end up here. THE VERDICT. This cafe delivered exactly what we expected: great food in a relaxed setting. If you're staying at the hotel and looking for a breakfast spot, no need to venture out; just head on down and dine here! They take reservations so make 'em so you don't have to wait around. read more

One of the many food options at Yaamava'. Make sure to make reservations as they won't seat you until your reservation time (unless you can find an open seat at the bar). We heard great things about the clam chowder ($11) so we ordered that plus the ahi poke nachos ($23). Both were pretty good! The clam chowder has corn, which was unexpected but nevertheless a welcome add for the soup. The ahi poke comes with 9 fried wonton pieces and slices of half an avocado. Decent ratio of poke to avocado to chips. Service, much like the casino, is on point (minus the mid service from the hostess)! Our server checked in on us several times during our meal and was prompt when we needed something. Nice surprise from dining here is finding out no sales tax! Woohoo! read more

UPDATE: MANAGEMENT NEVER REACHED OUT TO ME. Wow. Just wow. Seems like there might need to be some retraining involved at the host stand. So it's 5 a.m. and apparently, despite the ample tables available and the fact that I saw people sitting and eating, I was turned away without explanation. I don't mind waiting but the hostess rudely told me I "would just have to wait until they texted me" with no time frame given. Meanwhile I watched as they sat another person. I was alone so I didn't need a large table and when I asked if they could give me a time frame to wait I was told they "didn't know." Again, no real explanation why and so I finally asked why and I was told it was "because of the servers." Again, very vague and y this time I was slightly offended. Somehow, I doubt this will even get a response but I was very tired and this was very very disappointing. Also, at this hour, it was the only venue open where I could use my $50 voucher and that did upset me. May be find another place to dine. read more

Actually so impressed with the food and the ambiance. The service was also superb as well! We each ordered a clam chowder and shared a plate of Asian bbq ribs and shrimp gumbo. Total for 3 people came out to be about $100 (with 20% discount for diamond members). Tip $20 on top of that. I would definitely come back for the clam chowder. Love the long seasoned bread that comes with it. I was ready to lick the bowl clean. Also love that when we order hot water with lemon and honey, it comes with a cut little jar of honey! It's the perfect amping for two cups of hot water and pairs so perfectly with the meal. Free refills on soda ($4) for a soda. Only thing I don't like is that they use paper straws. But I guess it's okay if we are trying to save the environment. Overall, I would highly recommend this place! read more

Came for Rain's concert and make a reservation here for 6pm from their website but it's not too busy. There's lots of option in the casino. I really like this casino. It's clean and pricing wasn't like Vegas crazy. Parking was free too. Inside was chic but the crowd was very casually dressed except for me. I'm overly dress lol My server was so attentive and helpful. I think his name was Michael? Maybe. Memory fuzzy. Dark hair tall dude The food was AMAZING. Plates are heated so your food won't get cold. WOW this kind of detail is usually for more expensive restaurants (some expensive don't even do this) I got fig jam and goat cheese burger omg it's so well paired. It came with bacon but not needed. Salad on the salad. Hubby got chicken Marsala. I added rice for $4 Drink was Moscato. $12. The selection was good. I would love to come again. Yum. Waiting for another singer I like to sing here again now read more

We had a great dining experience overall, but the seating process was the main downside. We waited about an hour even though the restaurant didn't look very busy, and there were visible open tables. The waitlist timing wasn't clear and even guests with reservations were still waiting, which was a bit frustrating. Once we were seated, everything was excellent. The restaurant is beautiful, very clean, with elegant lighting and nice attention to detail like fresh roses on each table. Our server Amir was amazing, very attentive and professional, and everything came out quickly once we ordered. The food was outstanding. The ribeye was cooked perfectly medium rare, very tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes, broccoli, shrimp add on, and Cobb salad were all fresh and delicious. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere were excellent. The only downside was the long and unclear wait for seating. I would definitely come back again, but I would make a reservation next time. read more

Came to Serrano for a dinner before our show at Yaamava theater. Great seasonal menu featuring some tasty California cuisine. You need a reservation to be seated so plan ahead. It is crowded on weekends and service is slower than normal. We have been here weekdays and weekends but this time (Sunday at 6:30pm) food came out rather slow. Maybe too many people for the show at the theater and they were overwhelmed?? Not sure, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt. We ordered some vegetarian Beyond meat burgers, gumbo, and pan seared sea bass. My sea bass was very good; it has that brown crunchy crust but the fish was tender and juicy. Gumbo wqs good too with huge shrimps and served with corn bread and honey butter. I didn't taste the vegan burgers but my sister said it was good. We ordered their fresh pineapple soda ($5) and it was very good. Not very sweet but that's how I like it. read more

I decided to try something different. I ordered the burger with fig jam, goat, cheese, and bacon as a lettuce wrap! The bacon was delicious and crispy. The burger had the perfect salty and sweet flavor. The waiter was very sweet and accommodating. Make sure you bring your players card with you because you get 10% off. I wanted to get a different meal, but he did tell me it was spicy so I decided not to! It's a really cute place and the table has the most beautiful orange roses. read more

As usual the food here is pretty good! The ambiance is a chill and a relaxing type of vibe. Think of an upscale type coffee shop. Portions and food quality is great. I do wish the later dinner menu had a few more choices / variety though. The steak and mashed potatoes with broccolini was very good. The cheese bread appetizer with marinara sauce is very good. Desert selection is good too. I am updating my review because this last visit I received FANTASTIC SERVICE FROM ZAQUI. He was professional, polite, knowledgeable and had a great all around attitude and was a great server! Thanks... read more

Really crazy because I've ate her a number of times, but I normally get the wings, flatbread or salad but this time I got the pastrami sandwich and OMG it was horrible. I knew it didn't look right when the first came to the table. Not even to mention it was semi burnt. I still tasted it. It didn't taste right I was picking through it, the other person I had taste it for reassurance, said that the Pastrami was bad. I immediately ran to the restroom and threw it up. I couldn't even hold it in. The manager comp me back a refund on my players card although I paid with my regular bank card and then tells me I have less than 10 days to use it. read more

Terrible staffing. Not enough people to run the restaurant on a concert night. Half the tables were empty. We showed up 2hrs before concert, with plenty of time. They gave us no wait time, and 90minutes later we still had no table. And the place was still 1/3 empty tables. Why run a restaurant without staffing- on a concert night!! read more

Claudia was our server. She's beautiful and a fantastic host. Very observant and attentive. Food was great. Clean and nice lighting.

First let me start with the service was amazing. We came here for Mother's Day brunch. We had a large party and the staff was very attentive. The hostess gave us flowers and the staff gave us Mother's Day wishes. We first ordered coffees and mimosas. We started with the banana walnut coffee cake that is delicious and a must try! I had the steak and eggs that was really good. Others ordered the omelette, breakfast burrito and pastrami hash.
