  “Great bar / restaurant in a lovely waterside location. The food was absolutely perfect. We had the feta starter which was out of this world, and then a chicken gyros and lamb dish. Both also excellent, thanks very much for a lovely afternoon / early evening.”

  “We had the most amazing food here. We had the sourdough bread and cheese with honey which was delicious and then we had the Cornish sole and lamb shank. The food was beautiful and Vinny, Faye and Holly were perfect hosts. They were attentive, knowledgeable about the wine and menu and nothing was too much trouble. This is a real Gem in Looe and probably the best meal I have had in Looe. We will definitely be back!”

  “Nice location, fresh food, small portions, expensive in relation to portion size, ok service but could have been better - cutlery. Tip - ask for cutlery first as food was served and didn't have any, all food comes out together/ irregular so if you order starters it's not ideal. Some dishes are served on board and it doesn't make it easy to eat. Food good - not mind blowing but fresh tasting The filo feta was particularly nice. My husband and son had gyros and said it was ok but didn't rave about it and asked for additional sauces to flavour. I had lamb and it was small and I don't have a large appetite. We had starters and a main from the bigger plates. I think for how much we spent we expected to be more satisfied. We got the last of the evening sun in a nice location but no joke we got a portion of chips whilst walking back to the car!!”

  “It was fine. Nothing overly exciting, we were in and out within 40 minutes. £60 for bread and oil, calamari, cheese filo pastry with honey, potatoes and 2 chicken thighs. It felt overall disappointing, it lacked atmosphere and the food lacked flavour. We went to celebrate but were left leaving feeling a bit flat. Waitresses were very friendly and personable.”

  “Lovely restaurant right by the water. Started with olives and the cheese pie with honey - yum! Then had the jumbo prawn, calamari and Greek salad. Salad and prawn were delicious but calamari lacked flavour - I told the waitress this and she comped 50%. Wasn't expecting that but was very grateful. Then had the lamb for main to share - to be honest it was quite overcooked and dry. Then had baklava and feta cheesecake for dessert and both were delicious. I enjoyed the whole experience even if the food wasn't 100%. Service was great!”

  “What a lovely meal we had with family and friends, highly recommend. If you ever went last year and enjoyed it, I can hands down say you will be blown away by the elevation in both menu and presentation of the food. The flavours are incredible and the dishes are as close to art work as food can get. Just beautiful. I love the addition or the raw dishes , oysters my favourite but I know they are not for everyone, also the tuna was superb. Lots of choice for every pallet Small but perfect changes to the upstairs bar make for very comfy and classy pre drinks or an elegant space to share a bottle or two with friends. Great cocktails also. The summer it will be packed out so booking is a must. Congratulations Yamas your winning in culinary excellence”

  “Highly recommend this restaurant, the staff were attentive and helpful to our table of four, and the menu had a perfect number of choices on it. Our meals were beautifully presented and we all enjoyed them. The hummus and tarama were smooth and very moreish, flatbreads were soft and warm. The olives were fat and fruity, really quite nice, and I do not usually eat olives so tried them at the urging of my friend, and will happily recommend them. The kleftico was perfectly cooked and my kebabs took me straight back to my Mum's village in Southern Europe, amazing. Our companions enjoyed their mousakka and King Prawns (huge!). If you are choosing the smaller plates then you will 100% want to order a side, we shared the oregano fries which again, were delicious. The puddings get their own paragraph, OMG just leave room in your tummies for them. My baklava was super moist and whilst not quite to my Auntie Maria's very high standard of baklava (which she unapologetically over fills with pistachios), it was the best version I've had so far in any restaurant, with a generous nut mix and the honey syrup/pastry combo was perfect. My husband had the baklava cheesecake which he said was very sweet, my friend had the raspberry posset which I tried some of and would definitely order for myself next time. All in all, a fantastic little restaurant. Our personal preferences would be a little more salad with the kebabs and another potato or two with the kleftico but now we know the portion sizes we will order extra next time. Be aware the toilets are up a flight of steep steps. Yes, a little bit pricey but we were at the waterside in Looe with a beautiful night time view across the water and one extra pound or two on each meal I felt was well worth that. Great location, attentive staff, amazing food. 100% recommended.”

  “Lovely meal at Yamas last month. Food was tasty and portions spot on! The restaurant was busy enough to have a great atmosphere but not so busy the staff were rushed off their feet. Will definitely be back!”
