Restaurants near Mary Ball Washington Museum and Library

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.

Terrific...as advertised! We've been at the Richmond restaurant and have loved it, so this was an added treat.

We tried two of the lunch specials - Chicken BLT and the Chicken BLT Flatbread as well as the Mushroom Soup. Everything was delicious. Service was quick although the restaurant was quite busy for a Monday lunch! We will definitely be back again.

Crab dip was wonderful. Always a nice option for Sunday lunch as there are not many places open in the Northern Neck on Sunday.

With the exception of the gentleman at the checkin desk, everything about the restaurant was professional and first class. Our waitress was adorable, knowledgeable, and helpful. The food was delicious: short ribs, halibut, truffle risotto, pumpkin creme brulee, drinks, etc. The atmosphere was really nice with tables NOT crowded, easy to have a conversation, and lovely decor.
