Best Casual Restaurants in Hampden

We visit at least two times per month and the service is always impeccable and the sushi tastes fresh and amazing. I love how there are so many new items to try now as well.

Great food, great drinks, and amazing service. Our salad had been messed up a little but it was quickly fixed and they even got us drink for it. Overall amazing place for a date night or just some drinks. Love it here!!

Our server and chef were great! Even though it was a busy night we didn't feel rushed or forgotten.

Our dinner was good, maybe not outstanding. Husband had Chicken Pesto Penne. It was good and he enjoyed it. I had Chicken Saltimbocca. It was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The only small issue I had was that the sauce is extremely thick and rich and abundant- perhaps too abundant. I would have preferred a lighter sauce. Over all it was good and I'm sure we will return.

My wife and I dined at Ya Ya's for our Valentines Day dinner. We both had wines we really liked, which were not unreasonably priced. For an appetizer we decided on the bruschetta, which was seemingly simple but absolutely fantastic! Crostini with a goat cheese dip and plenty of tomato salad with garlic and pesto - yum! We did, however, run out of bread before the rest, so they brought us more at a $3 up-charge. We were not really expecting the up-charge, but no worries, as the extra was worth it for us. For our entrees, my wife had the pasta carbonara, which she loved, and I had the baked lasagne, which I also loved. The piece of lasagne was HUGE, and I loved the flavors of the sausage and the sauce and cheeses. Not too spicy - just flavorful. We would both definitely order those again. For dessert, we had the panna cotta, which we ordered two of so we could enjoy it a second time for the next day's breakfast. The one thing which was less than perfect, at least for me, was that we were seated in the central area where they typically serve their brunches, instead of some of the cozier and more romantic seating areas. In a perfect world, we would have preferred the back right corner, but it was still fine. The ability to watch the kitchen and wait staff work did provide for some interesting entertainment.
