Despite its immediate proximity to the casino, even at the bar, the restaurant provides a nice change in atmosphere. The food, was delicious, specifically the tri-tip sandwich had a powerful flavor, with a great texture to boot. That, along with the coffee martini and cucumber chill were served professionally and in a timely manner. The bartender, Albert, did a very good job handling the busier moments of the time I spent there. Being a sole bartender, he crafted and served multiple drinks for the entire restaurant, yet didn't struggle to handle the challenge. read more

Food was great, ambiance was nice. Service was amazing. Alissa made sure we were well taken care of. Definitely coming back

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Came in early this morning to have a little breakfast, luckily they were able to take us in early before our reservation. We didn't have to wait long before we were sat down and great by our waitress. Our waitress was very attentive and ensured our water and tea was always filled. When our meals came they looked amazing (no pics was too hungry). We ordered steaks, pancakes, and bagels and lox. The pancakes were nice and fluffy. The steaks were a juicy, tender , medium rare that didn't need any condiments because it was great on its own. The everything bagel and lox was good except for some slightly burnt edges on the bagel but the pickles onion and capers helps cut the taste of the burnt edges. Overall, such a great breakfast and experience I would continue to go again. read more

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. The cafe itself has a comfortable vibe that added to our pleasant dining experience. read more

After the Chelsea Handler show we decided to have dinner here at 10 pm lol!! So late for all of us . Thank goodness Serrano Vista cafe is alot more quieter, we can have a conversation and not have to shout at each other. Unlike chingon and rock & brews it's very loud my throat hurts after leaving those two places . Serrano Vista interior designs are beautiful, calm & serene . Settings can feel intimate, can also occupy large groups as well . We were seated with in 15 minutes of waiting. Our waiter Tyra took our order and the rest of the staff who brought over our plates were friendly and attentive. My friend and I had the 8 oz. New York Beef strip with eggs , fries and toast. My friend had 2 bites of her steak, she mentioned it felt like it's been sitting under the heat lamp for a while. We did agree the steak was chewy, had no flavor despite having grilled marks. Two of my other friends had the bibimbop to add chicken $9 , shrimp $10 extra. They two were not impressed with their choice. One mentioned the chicken were bland and texture of rubber , while my other friend thought her huge shrimps were cooked perfectly. We did come to the consensus the food was not the best, not the worse . read more

Waitress was an A+, a very kind person. Sonia I believe her name was But here's what I don't get.... A one hour wait.... AND the restaurant always looks like this...( see pics) basically 60% empty tables ....can someone tell me what I'm missing? I get that they take reservations, but when most of the reservations flake, and your tables are mostly empty and there is over a 1 hour wait with a bunch of people waiting then figure it out... seat people! Also don't do your bar deep cleaning at 6am when you open the restaurant . It takes away about 15 seats. Maybe do it before opening? or after we closed... ?I dunno, just a thought....especially on a busy Saturday morning... There must be a good reason but I can't figure it out.... Also don't tell guests the wait will be 15 minutes when it's an hour... I was waiting so long I actually closed my eyes for a minute while sitting in the enclave bar seating area and opened my eyes to a cop in my face telling me I couldn't sleep here. I showed him my reservation and he said oh I'm sorry hope it's worth your wait "enjoy your breakfast." restaurant upstairs. So that was fun. The manager was solid, and working hard running around doing a little bit of everything, so kudos to him for that. He was definitely working hard at 6am on a Saturday. No joke... The food was very good. Just had the basic breakfast ....Came out pretty quick... really good smoothies Mainly it's the seating situation that bugs me... put some asses in these empty seats, people will be happier...or explain the logic... Also, it felt like all the weight staff was running around frantically trying to rush when the place was half full read more
