We had a marvellous time dining at Yaya. The patio was not available despite requesting sitting outdoors but the restaurant is beautiful, clean and the staff are very polished. The menu is delightful. So many wonderful choices. The Risotto with lobster was outstanding as was the Branzino. The zucchini & eggplant starter was also great. We will be back. It was a wonderful evening. Thank you. Debbi

The tree covered in fairy lights in the middle of the courtyard created the perfect ambiance for a romantic Valentine’s day dinner. The food was really good and the crab ravioli was to die for. My partner and I will definitely be coming back!

Doya – A Must-Try for Greek & Turkish-Inspired Meze Recently dined at Doya, a fantastic spot that blends Greek and Turkish flavors with a menu designed for sharing. The restaurant specializes in both cold and hot meze, making it perfect for a communal dining experience. For cold meze, I highly recommend the traditional fava bean spread, eggplant (babaganoush), green goddess dip (similar to tzatziki), and shrimp carpaccio—all fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Among the hot meze, we tried the rib steak over the wood-fired grill, which, while cooked well, needed a bit more seasoning. However, the grilled Dorado fish was outstanding—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We rarely order dessert, but the chocolate mousse with cherries was a standout and an absolute must-try. Service at Doya is team-oriented, delightful, and impressively quick. The food comes out fast, making for a seamless dining experience without feeling rushed. Overall, Doya delivers a wonderful dining experience, with a well-executed menu, great service, and a lively atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore high-quality Mediterranean flavors in a shareable format.

I can’t say enough about how amazing the food and the service is at this restaurant. They even surprised us with a special dessert for our 30th Anniversary.

The food and drinks were truly incredible, and the energy in the restaurant was amazing. We sat outside and there were dancers throughout the night which was a really cool entertainment experience. My one annoyance was the overall service level. I don’t know if they were understaffed, or over busy, but it was just very slow. Definitely don’t want to be rushed - but we waited a longggg time to do anything, and then had a drink not show up until we asked for it 3 times. So, that was a small damper. Overall, this place was amazing. Definitely recommend it and would love to come back.
