YVES Restaurant Review Empty YVES Restaurant Review

Post by johninajijic Sun Jul 22, 2012 12:42 am

On Friday night nine of us from our Semi Monthly Dinner group ate at YVES restaurant. We had not been there for a couple of years, since the menu was quite small back then. Things have really changed, a much larger menu and a better selection. We ordered our drinks. They had a special Mango or Raspberry Margarita and Mojitos on the menu. Some people ordered those.

They brought bread and butter, a hard roll, not stale. We ordered our food. One person ordered just Azteca Soup. She said it was good, but not quite as good a Tony's. Personally I think you cannot beat Nueva Posada or Super Burrito for Azteca soup.

Two others ordered Shrimp Diabla which they said was very spicy and a little overcooked. I orderd Shrimp in lemon butter. They were cooked perfectly and were delicious. There were 10 small shrimp with a generous amount of rice and veggies that were broccoli, carrots and zuchini cooked perfectly. Shrimp was available several ways: Shrimp with garlic, or lemon butter or BBQ or Diabla.

Two people ordered Bacon Cheeseburgers with french fries. They were good and of a decent thickness. One person ordered Lamb Chops, 5 chops and said they were excellent. Another person ordered Tuna (tuna steak) over Fettucine. He liked it. One person ordered Filet Mignon. She said it was the best Filet that she has had at Lakeside. She had a rich mushroom gravy on the side. The Filet was one of, if not the largest that I have seen here, about 3/4" to 1" thick and cooked perfectly.

A salad bar with just about anything you can think of comes with the meals. Two kinds of dressing available.

The food was very good. The portions and prices good. Yves is a real gentlemen as he visits the tables and talks with his customers. One of our friends goes there in the AM for breakfast when he walks the Malecon.

Try Chicken or Beef Filet with the brandy mushroom sauce. The salad bar is a
good one especially the Champions. Just had a rib eye last night. Medium rare
is a little more rare than NOB to let you know in my experience.

Try breakfast with the special omelet. Oh yes.

For lunch, try the taco salad with chicken, beef or shrimp. Choice of honey mustard or thousand island dressing (neither of which are the "traditional" style.

And yes, those filets are outstanding. The Bearnaise sauce isn't too shabby, either. And the "Champions"? Oh well, shrooms in marinade. Good.
