Yuca "Nightmare
at Yuca!!!"
Date: November 8, 2005
Reviewer: Miami Beach 411 User, NY, NY
I went to eat at Yuca before returning home to NY. I heard it was
a really good restaurant. First of all the meals are overpriced there
are much nicer and better restaurants on Lincoln Road other than Yuca.
I was highly disappointed the food was not tasty at all. They try
to be gourmet but they are not!
Yuca "Great Food, Excellent Service"
Date: June 11, 2005
Reviewer: Miami Beach 411 User, FL
Despite bad reviews I read today, we decided to go to Yuca at Miami
Beach. The service was not just good, it was excellent. We were treated
in a very curtious manner since we walked in and every time the waiter
brought a place, he would come back a couple of minutes later and
asked if everything was OK. The food was very good and served in a
very attractive presentation. We recommend Yuca highly.
Yuca "Indescribable"
Date: May 1, 2005
Reviewer: Miami Beach 411 User, Palm Beach, FL
Wow, I have never had worse service in my life. The waiter was horrible,
rude, and unpleasant even to be around. I took the time to tell the
owner/manager when I left, and he barely shrugged. I figured with
the prices as high as they were, that the service would be great.
You are treated better at McDonalds.
Yuca "Terrible Service, mediocre food"
Date: April 20, 2005
Reviewer: Miami Beach 411 User, Minneapolis
Yuca gives the impression of fine Cuban dining, but delivers little
in the way of service or tastful cuisine. We took a group of clients
and ordered the appetizer sampler (2 to be exact). We were led to
believe the sampler consisted of a few items of each appetizer. In
fact we were charged for every appetizer on the menu--at FULL price!
Two "sampler" plates came to $150. The food was adequte--nothing
fancy. Looking back the wait staff was almost comical--bus boys stealing
our plates before we finished, water boys hovering over us constantly,
and waiters smashing into eachother with trays (no lie--one waiter
took out another with an entire tray of entrees). Why would anyone
go there knowing what we know now? Skip it and try the restraunts
on Espanola Way--a far better value and much more enjoyable evening
await.
Yuca "Poor service at Yuca"
Date: May 16, 2004
Reviewer: Miami Beach 411 User, New Hampshire
The service on 4/24/04 was terrible. The hostess was sullen and very
apathetic. I was only served quicker when I spoke in spanish. shame...
on the staff for that. The only redemming quality was the food was
fabulous. I was to tired and starved to go to another restaurant.
And I really wanted Latin cusine. I paid the price of being a typical
white american girl who did not look rich or latin enough to get better
service.
Yuca "What a treat"
Date: March 23, 2004
Reviewer: Miami Beach 411 User, Indianapolis, IN
If you love Cuban food and the elegance of an upscale eatery, then
you will flip over Yuca. A friend of ours recommended Yuca to us and
we were not diappointed. Friendly, informed wait staff and excellent
food make this a place where you want to linger. From mojitoes and
appetizers to entrees and dessert, every bite was savored.
