On a Sunday evening, after playing Bocce at Stage Fort Park, my partner and I dropped by without a…read morereservation and were seated in the bar section, but with a private booth. We were delighted with the food and drink. We each had a draft beer (Guinness and Blue Moon) and we shared two appetizers: The Owner's Mix (calamari and shrimp) and Mussels/Sausage Fra Diavolo. Both were flavorful and spicy. The calamari was lightly battered and crispy and the shrimp were well spiced. For main we had the Caesar Salad with Azorean Steak Tips. The garlic and pepper flavors of the tips made this a delicious treat, although the $12 supplement for the tips was a bit high priced for 2 pieces of meat. Having shared the salad, we allowed ourselves 2 desserts: Pudin Flan and Carrot Cake. The flan was apparently thickened with flour, making it less light than our usual creme caramel. The carrot cake was also a bit dense, both in the cake and the frosting. Nevertheless, we devoured them happily. With a 22% tip, we spent about $60/person and were very happy with the meal. Azorean is a family place, and it was crowded but not noisy. We will return.

We always sit out on the patio with the most perfect view of the sea, which makes the whole experience feel even more magical...especially in the warmer months. We always order the hummus, mocktails, and the TRUFFLED WILD MUSHROOM & SPINACH CAVATELLI ....which honestly deserves its own fan club. It's rich, comforting, earthy, and absolutely unforgettable every single time. We also tried the fish and chips recently and they were SO good. The fries were perfectly crisp on the outside while still soft in the middle...exactly how they should be. We had the chance to meet Carlo, the owner, and he was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience feel even more personal and special. Everything at Yella feels thoughtful and beautifully made. It's one of those places that turns a simple lunch or dinner into a memory.

It was raining when we stopped by for lunch, so we couldn't enjoy the gorgeous outdoor seating that looks out onto Western Harbor, but the restaurant's interior is charming, too - bright, casual, comfortable - with windows looking out onto the Harbor. My mom, who is vegan, enjoyed their Moroccan Shakshouka (roasted vegetables, quinoa, chickpea, jalapeno, tomato sauce, cilantro, and grilled bread - she just removed the egg and feta). I loved their Bouillabaisse (seafood broth, shrimp, mussels, fresh fish, coconut milk, and rice) and my glass of white wine. The service was great, and we just really enjoyed our lunch at Yella!

This really only means your car will smell delicious for a while Their menu also has such an array of options which is very appealing to so many foodies out their! Wish I took photos!

Steak Kabob Wrap: I ordered the medium well, and it was noticeably overcooked. My colleague who ordered the medium also well agreed But regardless, the freshly grilled steak was still quite aromatic. The ingredients were all fresh; the rich and creamy hummus, the sweet and sour tomatoes, and the crisp and refreshing cucumber were all wrapped in the markouk. Markouk flatbreads are grilled daily, thin, smooth, and chewy, much better than pita or lavash in my first impression. Chicken Kabob Wrap: Their signature dish. The chicken breast was still juicy. The owner is very familiar with the whale watching boat schedule and will tell you if you have time to eat before boarding. It has a 4.9 rating on Google Maps, but the food isn't nearly as good as it seems; after all, it's just a wrap, and it probably benefits from the whale watching reputation.

This was our first visit on a Saturday evening and we were glad we made reservations as it was packed yet still maintained a great atmosphere.

Chicken and Beef Kabobs as our entrees. Their signature cocktail Istanbul Peach Martini and a glass of Autorotas Sauvignon Blanc. As always the Lavash was amazing as was the Kabobs. The Kabobs came with a scoop of white rice, potatoes and a great salad with no lettuce, just marinated tomatoes. Cucumber, onion with herbs.

We were told we had to order the bread with the assortment of cold appetizer spreads and that really was fantastic. Piping hot bread, huge and an assortment of 4 dishes to go with it. All were tasty, especially the hummus. This alone is worth the journey to find this place. I had the lamb kofte, which are flattened meatballs usually cooked like a kebob. I was served a large portion and they tasted delicious, plenty to bring home. The other diners with me enjoyed their chicken kabob, falafel and kabob wrap. We thought the prices were fair for such generous portions. We will try again if in the area. Give this place a try if you have been sitting on the fence like me.

The falafel had little spice, the tzatziki had an odd texture and little to no cucumber or garlic/lemon, and the rice pilaf was just plain rice with no seasoning.

The employees were nice and we wanted to like it, but for the price ($50+ for 2 plates), we didn't think this place was worth it.

I've honestly never had French toast like that before. It was unbelievable. The service was great, and the whole experience was excellent.
