Incredible drinks and ambience. Don't forget to leave a message on their original typewriters. Or play a game. Velvet and chandeliers. Perfect. read more

Friendly service hands down. My three stars are based on two things. 1. I ordered a happy hour drink during HH and was charged full price (wish I had realized this before I paid, so partially my fault). It was a $5 difference. 2. Ordered the tiramisu to-go. They said it was "award winning" but what came out looked very unappealing. To be honest, I threw it out... I mean, you eat with your eyes first. Maybe it's because it was to-go instead of eating it in the restaurant, but then maybe package it differently or something. Burrata plate was delicious. It doesn't come with any bread, but I asked for some and got a few small pieces. The bread was TO DIE for. Super delicious. read more

Yada on Franklin - Tiramisu to-go.... Maybe order it to eat in the restaurant so you aren't eating a blob in a bowl. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

Really wanted to love this place. Atmosphere is outstanding but the service was awful. We waited an hour, never received our appetizer, salad or small plate. No follow up from the staff. Finally ask for check to pay for the two drinks and was charged an entertainment fee for the three piece band that showed up 30 minutes before we checked out. That's ok, they were worth it. Maybe a bad night for the staff. read more

We stopped in for a date night and were overall pleased with our experience at Yada on Franklin! Although we had a reservation, we did have to wait just a couple of minutes. We were seated at an awkward table in the window, with a table practically right on top of us. It's a VERRRRY cozy experience, to say the least. Service was decent although we did feel forgotten about up past the main floor of seating. We really liked the bartender - he was so friendly! Food was pretty good, although on the more expensive side. Options are very limited in Clarksville, and considering the competition, Yada on Franklin does rank near the top. We wouldn't mind going back! read more

Oh my gosh this hidden gem!! Clarksville is filled with army and chain restaurants and I've been here so many times without knowing about downtown! Yada is a super cute vibe, amazing food, lovely service and perfect portions. You can have a pasta and not be overwhelmed. But also still enjoy another "small" plate. (The meatballs aren't small but SO worth it.). And I still had room for dessert. DO NOT SLEEP ON THE SALTED CARAMEL COOKIE SKILLET! And great wine list to boot. Totally lovely. Don't miss this. read more

Probably the only "up scale" place in Clarksville that I've found so far. The inside of very nice and the waitstaff definitely matched the atmosphere of the place. When we went they had live music which was a nice added touch. They have food that was very nice, slightly overpriced but that was expected. I would probably recommend this place more for a nice place to drink and grab a bite rather than for a place to eat. read more

Super classy place. We sat at the bar and tried some martinis. I could tell the bartender was new as he kept referencing the recipes and took awhile to make drinks. Did not try food on the visit, but it looked good. Service was friendly. read more

Food quality was not worth the price. Salad bowls were just a size bigger than a ramequin. Pasta was very bland & poor presentation. Seasoning was needed on most everything. read more

Tapas style eating, the hostess was very helpful in explaining how it worked as I've never had tapas style before. The food was great, highly recommend the Beignets. Food is kind of pricey for my taste but everything was great. read more

Our favorite Clarksville restaurant! Food and service outstanding as always. Love the atmosphere! Highly recommend Yada for your next night out. read more

Went to visit my friend at Fort Campbell and she suggested this Italian restaurant. It was located downtown Clarksville. Upon entry we were greeted and seated by very nice setting and welcoming staff. The layout and setting was very elegant, romantic, and chill. We ordered pesto pasta, ziti, mozzarella sticks, and chicken Parmesan everything came out quickly and was hot. The expresso martinis were to die for. I also tried a dessert drink with pistachios that reminded me of Bailey's. It was very delicious. I would definitely recommend this place for any of your dining needs. It's just one of those places that no matter the occasion it would be appropriate. read more

We were visiting family and stopped in for brunch. We were a party of 7 but the small plate format was perfect. We tried probably 10 different dishes from sweet to savory and they were all pretty good. Enjoyed the cocktails and the service was excellent. We hope to visit again in the future for dinner. read more

I've been to Yatta two or three times now. The place is delicious. The variety of foods are so good and I kinda look at it as if it's a topas place for Italian. The chicken Parmesan and meatballs are delicious as well as the bread that you dip and hot cheese. I can't remember I think it's ricotta; so good give it a try. read more

What went well? Everything! We were just staying overnite & wanted a decent dinner. We got it! On a Saturday evening we were seated right away! Jax, our server was super nice & patient. We loved the tapas style portions & pricing. We had the 2 beef options, preceded by the spinach-artichoke appetizer. And ended with crème brûlée. All was delish! Our wine was served in lovely glasses. We left satisfied & not overly stuffed. Nice vibe too in an old downtown building. Highly recommend! read more

We really enjoyed our dinner at Yada. Excellent service. The food and cocktails were excellent. We especially loved the Brussels as well as the Goat Cheese with red sauce. So delicious read more

I have to update this review because everything has changed so much in the last 7 years! We went to Yada for Sunday brunch and were pleasantly surprised that we could get immediate seating for a group of 9. Everything was great, location is beautiful. We got a mix of sweet and savory brunch dishes, as well as wine and drinks. The group we were dining with was very independent in their dining needs so there was very little sharing which was unfortunate. I can't wait to go back to experience the menu family-style as intended! It would be super fun to share a meal here with all of the small plates and dining communally. read more

The service was done well enough, our waitress was nice and tried her best even if she forgot to ever refill our drinks. The decor was confusing, it did not say good Italian food it was more a nice diner which was fine and I appreciated how clean everything was! The food.... Their house red sauce although very acidic was quite enjoyable! We had the London broil and it was served with a sauce that was not at all mentioned on the menu and the sauce contained horse radish which I happen to be allergic to. The chicken parm was black on the edges I had to cut off the entire outside to be able to eat it. It tasted alright I liked that the breeding was seasoned. The eggplant parm was actually very good, it was not mushy or burnt! With that being said, there is no warning of egg allergy anywhere in their menu we knew the pasta would have egg so the wife didn't eat that but we didn't think about the egg wash... so any kind of allergen notice would be helpful!!! I had the tortellini and the pasta was chewy and hard in some places, the sauce was quite nice very heavy on the garlic which I enjoy. read more

killllller food as always. We tried a couple things, Thai Chili Wings, Italian sausage Bolognese, espresso martinis....you name it. GET the espresso martini, it's 10/10 the best I've had. Service was great, waiters feel like friends and it's easy service. Nice to see the owner walking around as well checking in, she truly cares about the place and it shows. The seats that we sat in might honestly be the best/most cushioned seats I've ever felt in a restaurant. When you come in, you get this family friendly, but very upscale vibe. I could honestly eat here every weekend and honestly even considered doing a menu tour. CANT WAIT TO GO BACK! read more

Sooo much potentially and maybe we hit an off night, but we were very disappointed. Let me explain. It was a Friday night, so I anticipated long waits for a table and for food to come out. Checked in at the receptionist table and told it would only be a 30 minute wait. So we sat at the bar for drinks while we waited for a table. We ordered an old fashion, a purple rain and a fresh herds & bread appetizer. Shocked how fast the bread came out, it arrived with minutes, despite our drinks not coming for another 15 minutes. After waiting for almost an hour for our table we finally got to order. Another round of drink and I ordered the Carbonara while my wife ordered the Tortellini. After another LONG wait, my wife's very small portion (8 pieces, you can count them in the picture) came out. (It had to have been 30 minutes for her food. She actually finished her entire meal, and I still waited another 20-30 minutes before my meal even came out.... Which was another small portion size. After a 2+ hour experience we left paying a high end price for poor customer service and picked up Chinese food on the way home as we were still hungry The staff was very nice, the interior decor and overall atmosphere was great. They had a singer singing a lot of Frank Sinatra. Seemed to get a mixed reaction from the crowd, we didn't care much for him, but it's another positive for those that like live music (hopefully you get a better singer than we had) For the price, you can get much better food, portion sizes and timely service in other places around town. Glad we checked it out, but I'll never be back read more

Always a nice view, especially Brunch on the Halloween Party Day. As usual the place looked great and we where greeted immediately. Maybe 2 minutes Server arrived with water and mentioned a few new items on the Saturday Brunch menu. Food was very good as usual, but disappointed with the Eggs Benedict.....1/2 an English muffin, good bacon and a perfectly done egg.. Hollandaise, could not find it. Prices, as with everywhere are creeping up, but not any more that the rest. What really saved the day was our server Cheyenne! Attentive but not intrusive, knew the menu and was able to make suggestions and appropriate add on items. We had a great time due to service on what was surprisingly slightly above average food. Credit due to the my wife's French Toast Bites with dipping options. It was pretty dang good! Ya saved the day Cheyenne...Thanks read more

This location is amazing! Outside has a nice vibe, as soon as you enter it's so nice! The food, drinks and service was 5 stars! The manager on duty, Brandon came by and greeted us and gave us a little history on the restaurant. Our server Yvette was so amazing! Friendly, knowledgeable and was so insightful on the menu. We will be coming back at least one Sunday a month for brunch! read more

Yada's interior design is spectacular. I love the copper hammered tables and turquoise blue velvet chairs. The interior decor was very chic and new. Very charming place. Nice staff. I was told that the food is good. It is not authentic Italian food though. Bathrooms were very clean. Service was nice and friendly. She was a little forgetful. She apologized for forgetting to get me a clean drink menu. The one I had was messy with a wine splash on it. I was recommended the Everyone Hates Gin and The Devil Wears Prada Cocktails. I selected the gin one. EVERYONE HATES GIN Bombay Gin, grapefruit juice, lime juice, honey, strawberry syrup, fresh mint, orange bitters, and egg white It was good but not the best cocktail I ever had. Very girly and light. Ambience 5 stars. Service 3 to 4 stars. Cocktail - 4 stars. read more

Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. This is tapas style in the sense its small plates to share. Which is really fun and great for socializing with the table. The pasta is all made in house and delicious. The carbonara was great but the the pesto pasta was our favorite. We also had the filet, kramer pizza, and for dessert the crème brûlée and tiramisu. Will definitely be back again. read more

Yada on Franklin - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

Me and my husband's first time here and our first date night since we had our baby 8 months ago. Ronald was our server and he was amazing. Great recommendations, Knowledgeable of the menu, very friendly and professional. Not pictured: the carbonara, halloumi cheese sticks, brussel sprouts, and meatballs. Everything was delicious. The brussel sprouts were bomb diggity, I will go back just for them. My hub's fave was the pizza. We can't wait to go back, and to try the brunch. In my opinion, best food we have had in Clarksville. read more

We came for my birthday dinner and had a wonderful time! All of the staff was very welcoming and friendly, I do not remember our server's name but she was very sweet and gave excellent recommendations! All of the food came out in a timely manner and was hot, fresh, and prepared exactly as described on the menu. We look forward to returning soon! My favorites were the burrata, London broil, and the London Fog martini. read more

One of my favorite places in Clarksville - hands down! I don't love going to Downtown on the weekends because finding parking is for the birds...but we still do it anyways! I love that the dishes are made for sharing - we always order a few things and nosh all together with a smattering of appetizers. However, last night I had a date with myself and it was perfect. I sat at the bar with my Kindle and enjoyed some cocktails and an appetizer. The original appetizer I chose was 86'd for the night - so after some suggestions from the bartender I decided on the Peppamento Cheese. It is served hot with a nice warm bread for dipping. If you like cheese, you will LOVE this dip! It's got a little kick to it and it pairs so well with the bread. Naturally, I ate the whole thing myself as dinner. But it's a great share for 2-3 people if you're splitting items. I always get The Devil Wears Prada as my drink. ALWAYS. It's a mix of tequila, wine and pineapple with a hint of lime. The first time I got this drink I was like YAAAAASSSS. If I ever bring someone there, it's always my suggestion! I even talked another woman into trying it last night too. I can't help it! It's just that good! Drinks do take a few minutes to be made since they're mostly specialties and multiple layers being put together. The drinks are always consistent though - which is great since they do have so many flavors involved. Just be patient - it's worth it! The food always comes out pretty quick. Ive never waited long after putting my order in and last night was great. I will say that you'll need a mint after eating there. I love all the garlic and peppers and amazing flavors- but before you bend in to talk to your date or friends afterwards, you'll want to freshen up that mouth. *please remember this review is only about this current service and holds no merit towards past or future opinions on reviews! read more

Yada on Franklin is a vibe! The restaurant is quaint and beautifully furnished. They even have adorable window seats where you can enjoy looking out onto downtown Clarksville, which is also beautifully lit at night. Our waiter Ryan was amazing! He was very knowledgeable on the menu and gave us many recommendations for food, dessert and drinks. Now let's talk food. OH MY GOODNESS, the food her is top notch. We were told that the dining style is Cicchetti which is where you order multiple entrees to share at the table. Every dish we tried was above expectation. Next time, I need to try the pizza! If you are a local to Clarksville or just dropping in for a visit you must give Yada a try! Oh, and they also do Brunch on weekends! read more

all workers were too chatty with each other but somehow too nervous to explain the menu. the food seemed frozen. bartender was staring at us. maybe the dinner is fine but the lunch is a weird random- an terrible assortment of items read more

-No sweet tea -No unsweet tea -No lemonade -No hot tea -No espresso/cappuccino (machine broke) -No regular pizza dough so no brick oven pizza First time there, I will never go back. Nice atmosphere, the chicken Parm was good, but they do some sort of weird "family style" servings. Over priced, no side dishes come with your meal. I am Italian and I know family style, and this is more like lets be "artsy fartsy" style. I was expecting big things, and I was highly disappointed. There is much better Italian food in Clarksville. read more

Truly enjoyed a very good experience, taste and value for the money. Busier times you likely need park a bit away and walk.

Yada is very conveniently located downtown Clarksville and has the cutest feel with having tables in the glass windows which let you people watch. I have tried the brunch, lunch, and dinner here. Overall it is not the most gluten free friendly which can be difficult. For dinner they do serve a gf pasta and pizza but it is a little disappointing. The pasta was a tiny serving and the pizza was only half covered in sauce. I have enjoyed other things here like the tots which are delicious and the eggs in purgatory which were just ok. The thing I enjoy most about this restaurant is the cocktails. The key lime pie martini is a HIT and all the other drinks follow its lead. The service is always really good here read more

Had been wanting to try Yada for dinner for a while now. Came by last night and I wasn't really impressed. I had the Italian sausage Bolognese. It was good but the portion was tiny. Ordered a side of bread because it doesn't come with the meal and it was 4 tiny pieces. Ordered a martini and it was good. Nothing I was highly satisfied with. Quite honestly left and wasn't full. read more

Yada! Glad we gave this place a try. We went on a Thursday evening. No wait for a table, we were seated at a high top table. The chairs were surprisingly comfortable. There is nowhere to hang a purse (they should get those under-the-table hooks!) but hanging it around the back of the chair worked fine. The interior of the restaurant is quite lovely. High tin ceilings, large open floor plan. I've walked by and always seen tables empty up front and assumed the place was dead but it stretches far back and there's tables in the back area that you can't see from the street. For a Thursday the place seemed to have a steady flow of people, but wasn't crowded. This place is not cheap, and it's not a regular restaurant. Our server was awesome and explained right away about their "cicchetti" which essentially means "small plates" (think, tapas). These plates are intentionally small. I've seen some recent reviews with people complaining about the serving size. The menu boasts that Yada is the ONLY cichetti bar in Tennessee! Did they not read the menu? Did their server not explain the concept? Anyways, moving on.... For two people we shared 5 plates. We started with the Brussels sprouts, the bread with red sauce and goat cheese, and the burrata. The food comes out as it's ready, not all together. The items all arrived quickly to our table. The red sauce with goat cheese was absolutely delicious. The Brussels sprouts were also very good, but a bit salty with all the cheese on them. Burrata was perfect. It was served cold, which is not traditional (should be room temp) but it was creamy and lovely. Honestly never thought I'd get a yummy burrata in Clarksville so this was a very nice surprise! The burrata comes with sliced tomato and a balsamic drizzle. Next we ordered the meatball skillet and carbonara. They also came to the table in a timely manner. The meatballs were good, a lot of garlic. The carbonara should be renamed to Alfredo, which is what it is. Carbonara is not a cream sauce, it is made with egg. Now for the drinks. I was pleasantly surprised with how delicious the drinks were. Our server recommended the Devil Wears Prada which was a mixed drink of Cabernet and tequila. Not something We'd ever had before, but surprisingly delicious! We also received a Peaches and Dreams cocktail, made with white rum, peach and lemon juice. Yum!!! They made me a lovely cappuccino, as well. I think this is a really fabulous spot for drinks and small plates, especially for Clarksville. It wasn't what I expected and I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely a bit pricey for this area, and for that reason I would probably only return for special occasions, but I had a really nice experience here. Five stars for the really nice time. Thanks, Yada! read more

I went for my birthday on a Tuesday night. I made a reservation for 5 and I in the special request I said it was for my birthday. I wore a birthday crown saying, "It's my birthday." No one wished me a happy birthday, no one it was my birthday, and no birthday celebration like I know other places do. On top of that, my drink took 30 mins to get. The drink I ordered said it had club soda, however it contained no fizz. They did remake it and I still didn't like it, and they did take it off my bill, however by the time I got the drink I actually liked, all the food had already came out and were just finishing up! I know it was super busy that night with something going on at the arena, but I was very disappointed in the service. read more
