According to Open Table this is our twelfth visit to YOLO. Pretty sure that number is low because we have stopped in here without planning on a few occasions. Let me start by saying, the food is amazing. I have never had a bad meal.
Brunch- it is our favorite meal. You cannot go wrong and YOLO. The food is amazing, and so are the bottomless mimosas. The one thing that separates this place from the rest of the brunch places is the service.
Today our server was Rachel, very friendly, offered her opinions on the food, and did not steer us wrong. I have never had a bad experience with the service here but Rachel was one of the best we have had!!!
The food here is just amazing the steak is done to perfection and the portion is big enough, best steak I have eaten so far in miami, if you love chicken do try the rotisserie chicken as it is superb and well garnished with some Greek herbs. The trout is just mouth watering and will just leave you asking for more!
10/10 restaurant and highly recommend for groups! Every single thing we ordered was fantastic and continued to impress us with every single bite. Our server was excellent and made us feel like royalty! The GM also came around and made us feel incredible welcomed and asked what we were celebrating before sending out a complimentary dessert for the table. The monkey bread melted in our mouth and I highly recommend it. Every entree is delicious so you really can’t go wrong there.
Great service. Nice vibe and atmosphere. Lighting in restaurant was not bright but also not too dim. Our favourite was the calamari. Tender, seasoned and cooked to perfection. Servers were very attentive, helpful and knowledgable. Would definitely visit again when I'm in town!!

The food was so tasty, you won't want an entree after those appetizers. I could eat that Monkey Bread and Angry Fried Shrimp 3x over! The guacamole was super fresh too. 😋
Our cocktails were luscious so we ordered a second round. (I forgot the names unfortunately)
Entrees came really quickly and were super hot.
This place had a real fancy look to it with lots of space! I really enjoyed the lighting on the big tree outside for when it gets dark.
Coming back when it gets cooler as this visit was 3/4/23.
Friendly service, delicious drinks, and good food. Service is quick, even with the place being busy. You can walk-in, but making a reservation is much easier. There’s definitely a younger crowd with louder music (at least on the weekends), but it’s not overwhelming and there are plenty of seats indoors and out so you can spread out a bit. Valet parking is available, but there are several garages and metered spots within an east walking distance.
OMG the food was AMAZING! I was literally starved and was not in the mood for flavorless food. The Tomahawk was definitely worth the price. It was flavorful, tender, and the side dish was well paired. I will 100% recommend and can’t wait to visit FL again ❤️
Located in Downtown Fort Lauderdale, on East Las Olas Boulevard, Yolo gives you a beautiful street view surrounded by pompous glass buildings. The area in which it is situated looks luxurious and the streets are lined with expensive cars. I sat on the outside with friends and I was quite happy because the weather was cool. The wind was just right so I loved sitting outside and enjoying the view. The drinks were just good, but not great, and the food was good as well. I had the branzino, which I really enjoyed. I heard a few others complaining about the food but I enjoyed my dish. The servers were excellent and I will definitely return.
Amazing is an understatement. First I should commend my waiter Jimmy for making the experience phenomenal. He was very knowledgeable about the dishes that he recommended and served. All questions were answered with confidence. The food was top notched. The salmon for Entre was a hit, the appetizer, some spicy shrimp was to die for. My only problem which is not big of a deal were the cocktails. I didn't like mine much but my preference doesn't take away from the blast of a time I had. Thank you YOLO will definitely be back.
Oh their donut tree.....definitely a wow factor.
10/10 luxury experience. Swinging tomahawk was made to perfection. Our waiter Rubin (he's from Chicago) was so amazing! He did a great job on a busy Saturday night. He always came and checked up on us, along with the other managers. The valet parking was nice and easy. We dined outside and there was a live DJ. Everything was great, no complaints.
We reserved at Yolo restaurant for our 2 year anniversary. Once we arrived they had our table ready and said “Happy anniversary” to us and the server as well. The atmosphere was very calm my husband and I loved the music. The service was spectacular! The server suggested for the appetizer to be the Calamari and so far this place makes the best one! At every restaurant we go to we order the calamari to see which place is better. So far this is the best. The kale salad was delicious and my husband loved his surf and turf. For dessert, they surprised us with the sparkling tree with mini pancake balls. It was delicious and it came with three different dips; chocolate, whip cream and some other frosting. We also likes seeing the managers and supervisors coming by each table to make sure the food and service is good. We are definitely coming back!
Vacation date night, and this is hands down the best churrasco we had from all the states we have visited. The service provided by Reuben R. was also one of the best we have experienced. His recommendations to our preferences were accurate for our drinks.
The mashed potatoes were good. The truffle fries were loved by my significant other. The salmon was okay but tasted even better with the chimichurri sauce. The churrasco was amazing with and without the sauce.
Before going to this restaurant, we made reservations where we provided exact seating preferences. These preferences were matched 100%, where we received an even better view of the indoor tree.
We loved the vibes, service, food, and reasonable prices.
