The new Yaga's brunch menu is amazing! By far one of my favorite brunches in town - the outdoor patio, people watching, and carafes of mimosas make for an epic weekend brunch experience. They have recently redone the menu, and we've gone …

Tortilla soup is fabulous and the Mediterranean pizza was the best!! Margaritas are very good as well!! It seemed like a lot of employees walking around doing nothing and our service was slow at first but it got better, it was crowded! Highly recommend Yaga’s!!
