Neighbourhood gem

Yana Coogee, situated a stone’s throw away from the beach on the main promenade of Coogee, is inspired by Chef Same Lane's passion for the simplicity of cooking with an open fire and the feeling of being surrounded by great food, drink and company.

The delicate smokey aromas from the kitchen greet guests as they arrive in our Australian inspired interior with exposed brick walls and leather seating booths - altogether, setting the scene for a delicious, fire-touched dining experience.

The menu will be agile to work closely with the dynamic nature of the availability of local produce. You can expect to enjoy a menu including Whole King Prawns with Nduja butter, 1.2kg black onyx Tomahawk with oregano Verde, and sides including Medley with Heirloom carrots, radish, zucchini, Sheep yoghurt, sumac, and honey. The bar serves up a beer and wine list that won’t disappoint, and cocktails that elevate the coastal vibes and set the tone for your Yana experience.

Had a reservation for 9 people and when we arrived the restaurant was closed without any notification to us even after we had replied to a confirmation text direct from the restaurant. Very disappointing to turn up with 9 people and then having to find alternative restaurants of similar standard to accomodate last minute is almost impossible.

Nice decor with good atmosphere and nice food. Service was only okay with new untrained staff but that can be overcome.

Worst dining experience in a while! We booked a reservation to try the tomahawk as advertised by Yana as the main offering. When we arrived we were not told this was sold out until we went to order. From here it only got worse as we ordered our entree and main and were told 25 minutes later that they had no tuna for our entree. Instead we ordered the beef skewers which took another 15 minutes to arrive and then a further 45 minutes for our sirloin steaks! We were here a total 2.5 hours for our sitting just waiting for our food to arrive in which it was all delayed and arrived out of order, our potatoes arrived well before our mains, even the chef had to ask us what we ordered to double check. I would like to give credit to the wait staff who were amazing throughout our booking providing us with updates and their apologies, but we blame the management and systems for the poor experiences. The management offered a discount but not by much. To save yourself time and money, I don’t recommend this restaurant. If you are looking for good steak - go to La Spiaggia next door!

Took 30 mins from arrival for someone to give us menus and she end up giving us breakfast menus and not dinner so had to keep calling staff over to change menu then no one came to take the order for a long time. The staff were just all over the place. Potatoes came our hard / raw. The steak is not worth 60 dollars, came out small and slightly fatty. Portions were really small over all for the price. Over priced and over rated

Service was slow, we waited so long for the wait staff to bring our drinks. Bread came out really burnt, had to ask twice for the olives. We recieved our steaks but waited 10minutes for the rest of the sides to come out. Then had to ask about the scallops which was meant to be a starter. Overall food was average but wouldn't return due to poor service.

Second time here, food was again great. Recommend chicken, tomahawk, prawns. This time was dining on a Friday night, there was a a DJ and a lot of people drinking at the bar (so not dining). This wasn't late - around 7:30 and we were seated close to the DJ so it was loud and had to shout at each other. Would suggest sitting people having dinner in the back area as you can still hear the music but just a little bit quieter.
