| About: | "Yia Yia" means "grandmother" in Greek, but this is not your grandmother's kitchen! The salads here blend wonderful greens with ingredients such as Gorgonzola cheese, apples, walnuts and fennel. Appetizers called "Euro bites" include grilled shrimp wrapped in pancetta as well as a beautifully prepared crab risotto. Entrees such as beef tenderloin, grilled salmon and lamb are enhanced by sauces such as cilantro and sweet garlic emulsions, along with side dishes including goat cheese potato cakes. Kids, meanwhile, can choose individual pizzas, peanut butter sandwiches or pasta dishes. Yia Yia offers an excellent selection of single-malt scotch by the glass, plus flavored martinis and a full bar. Dress is suburban casual. |

Yia Yia's is no longer open, they closed in the summer of 2009
Nothing spectacular. But it is pretty good by Memphis standards. Don't order the chorizo and Spanish cheese - it seemed more like standard breakfast sausage with muenster. Duck confit was OK. Nice presentation and atmosphere, though.
I actually used to hostess here. The atmosphere is dressy casual. The waiters know what they're doing and what they're talking about. They have a great bar and are famous for their Martini Mondays. Don't forget Happy Hour everyday from 4 to 7. The food is incredible. For an appetizer: Beef carpaccio is a musts. As for entrees, you can't go wrong with anything.
My area of expertise: Dessert. Try them all! The creme brulee' is out of this world. And Yia Yia's is famous for their bread pudding in a bourbon sauce. It's delicious. Definitely save room!
