Yai Yai - Crystal River

Totally an unexpected sound and so happy we decided to try. it was an amazing experience with great service, fantastic eating and a wine that was from the charts.

I don't even know where to start! I can't believe I've never been to this restaurant! the personal was so incredibly friendly that they mean man and I at our first name all the time when we were there and that was great! the service was great and the owner came to our table and imagined and thanked us for our service! we will definitely be back regularly!

Everything was delicious and for the quality, very reasonably priced! During the day it 's a salon, and in the afternoon/evening you can wine and dine! We are foodies and enjoy cigars, this place totally delights our palates and our hearts. Great food has that special ingredient of love that is difficult to replicate. Everything here was fantastic.. we kept asking are we really in Crystal River?! We honestly couldn 't believe it. We drove past so many times, each time unsure what it was until I saw them on open table. Then went there thinking they only had sushi(for some reason). We had no idea the foodie experience we were about to have... We ended up having the guava shrimp and grits, steak, crab cakes and caprese salad. Then we ended the night with key lime CAKE. They were all delicious and to perfection! Seriously get them all! Follow their suggestions in the wine/ beer pairings too. It 's the perfect balance of chill vibes and great food. Right across from a small airport/hangar. And if you enjoy cigars, they have a Cigarden . It 's a cigar patio in the back along with their little garden where they grow their own fresh veggies and herbs! How cool is that?! Oh and to add to it they also have the hottest peppers in the world growing in the back! (Just don 't touch em. You’ve been warned) We can 't wait to come back!

Food was great, but the service and attentiveness provided by Jerry was outstanding. The fresh crab rolls were by far my favorite. Highly recommend!

Exceptional! We took our daughter and son-in-law. They are sort of 'foodies. ' So, since we had not been there ourselves, we were concerned that everything would be acceptable for them. We had some wonderful cocktails, great appetizers and wonderful dinners. It is a GREAT place and our server Jerry was wonderful. The food was a little slow coming out of the kitchen but we had to remind ourselves that everything is made fresh. With cocktails and appetizers and great conversation you won 't mind the wait. Just don 't go there hoping to have your food in 10 minutes. It is well worth the delay. We will be back!!
