| - Okay 1.5 stars nooo 1, nooo 1.5, I dunno!?
Okay here's why, this place was my single most weird/awkward dining experience I've ever had or hopefully ever will have....!
My girlfriend and I where going to go to firefly which is in the same parking lot... and firefly was booked on tables and way crowed inside so we thought maybe marrakech instead... "no we've been there a bunch of times, plus that's a lot of food to eat, not being that hungry let's try this Yolis place!"
We see the menu posted outside, there are some things we can order that sound good. So we walk up the stairs to the restaurant and go inside. First thing you see in here, is the crazy lighting everything is NEON green... Maybe cool looking for a bar perhaps, but a restaurant I dunno why anyone would think that was a good idea.
We get seated,... and here's where is got really strange. Before we ordered our food three people had come to our table, we had no idea who our waiter was. They brought bottled water without us asking. Someone came over to the table said hi with the water, someone asked us for our drink order, and then someone else for our entree order.
So this last person we ask,
"Are you our waiter?" Can we see a menu?
"'Oh you want a menu?" You don't want to get the firepit?"
My friend, "What's that?"
--- the manager or the owner comes over and he is talking to us really enthusiastically like a car salesmen...telling us to order the firepit, which is like 5 or 6 different kinds of meat, etc etc...----
My friend, "Sounds neat, do you guys have menus though?"
"Oh we have menus, why do you want one when I am telling you this is the best thing to order."
"Ummm, well we'd just like to see what else there is?"
---Tells the waiter to get us a menu.---
(What the heck right?)
So he leaves for a second and my friends like we can leave, and me stupidly I say, "No we're already here and already ordered our drinks..."
(Regret)
So we stay....
After not even a few minutes of looking at our menu, the owner and the waiter come back over and start telling us more about the firepit on and on about how this is the Brazilian thing you have to try this, etc etc.
I said, "I just wanted a lamb pita."
"A pita!!?? Why would you order a pita at a Brazilian steak house?!"
My friend, 'Why is it on the menu then?"
--I forget what he said but it didn't make sense, and I said, "no that's what I want."--
(Honestly I wish we would have just walked out but this was my first time ever having something like this happen to me I didn't really realize how to react.)
After bombarding us with the whole firepit thing he railroaded my friend into ordering the firepit. Which was the traditional meat on a spear that the bring around from one table to the next and cut off onto your plate. Normal, and pretty neat to do,... but she didn't really want that much food-specially meat!?
Think about we where going to go to tapas... it was SO much meat and they actually splattered some of it onto my friend shirt! The meat was dry and not very good. They also seemed to be serving it to everyone on the same schedule so it was not just 3 or 4 tables it was more like 8-10 tables... It took forever.
After we left some guys in the same situation as us, peering up the stairs where thinking if they should check it out, as we came down they asked us "Is this place good....?"
Our answer obviously, "NO!!"
