    Wonderful experience for Thanksgiving brunch. Food and service were exceptional, along with comfortable seating and a great atmosphere. Rachad, the manager, was a highlight of the meal and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend visiting, as my wife and I will be back again soon.

    The breakfast is excellent and the service superb. Faith and her team did an excellent job of taking care of us during a very busy Thanksgiving morning rush. This is our 2nd year having breakfast here on Thanksgiving trip & cannot recommend highly enough. Chefs attention to detail is really great. Poached eggs were perfect. Proper cappuccino. Love this place. Will be back.

    Incredible in every aspect. They kept up a light conversation with my table the whole time, and were very attentive to wait on us as well. As far as food goes everything on the menu was amazing. I started off with a bloody mary which was seasoned perfectly, and then went on to get the chocolate croissant. The croissant was perfectly flaky on the outside, while the inside was buttery and soft, and having a generous amount of quality chocolate. The Nashville hot chicken Benedict is a must have as it’s not only unique but the chicken is delicious. It’s juicy and the breading has just enough heat to live up to the reputation of Nashville hot chicken, while also managing to be a little sweet. I recommend getting the side salad with the chicken benedict because the salad accompanies it well. It’s served with a light balsamic dressing, and fresh parmesan, and is very refreshing. Lastly, I got the gnocchi. I couldn’t believe how soft the gnocchi was, and when covered in the sauce was the most delightful Italian pasta dish I’ve ever had because it was so rich in flavor, and so well textured, without being heavy and overpowering. In addition to the food and staff, Cafe Yolan’s eye catching, elegant design makes any guest feel significant. The chairs, tables, silverware, plating, wall art, and general layout are inspiring. This place is worth it all, don’t skip out!

    Food and service were great but they didn’t have a bartender for Sunday brunch before a Titans game. Disappointed with the limited drink options.

    Joined for a business meeting. The place had a nice atmosphere but I was disappointed with the service level and very small menu options. The group had an individual who was a vegetarian and asked about the dish options. The waitress informed him they didn't really have good options but recommended a salad. He received a plate with some lettuce and a small sprinkle of cheese and was charged $18. Service continued to be slow through the meal. Ultimately very disappointed in the menu options and service level.
