    We chose the five-course menu, and it did not disappoint. Husband's favorite bite was the scallops with truffle sauce. My favorite bite was the beef tartare (and husband ate almost half of it). Tomato bisque was smooth and delicious, not overly sweet as some can be. My steak was perfectly rare, and lobster melted in the mouth. Husband had the 3-meat trio and all were cooked perfectly and very tender. We finished with the souffle and cheese plate. I would come to Le Yaca for just the souffle! It was perfect. Husband ate half and shared his cheese plate with me. The selection of cheeses actually complemented the souffle, especially the brie. I had a nice doggy bag with 1/2 steak and spinach for lunch today. The waiter was so attentive and friendly. The only thing that was not exception was the French Onion Soup. It was good, but not great; way too sweet for my tastes, but husband finished it all. We had a nice French Cab Sav for under $50, and a Bourdeaux for $70. With tip the meal came in around $400. This is definitely a special occasion meal. We have eaten here many times and there are more budget friendly options.

    Food here was delicious. Guac was great, salsa was great, Lindsey (our server) was great, the all-around ambience and decor was amazing. We had the birria enchiladas for dinner and then enjoyed the churros and tres leches cake for dessert. We will definitely come back again next time we are in VA Beach.
