week and ate at Le Yaca. Now, the three of you who read my Valentine’s Day article from last year will recall the fact that I reviewed this place after eating at Le Yaca alone… by myself… In stark contrast, I was in good company this year with Matt and Jalyce. At this rate I’ll actually have a boyfriend to bring next year! Maybe. Hopefully. Oh, bother. Moving on… I don’t think I will ever change my view on Le Yaca: it is a magnificent place to eat for Williamsburg, Virginia. The décor is classic and comfortable. The staff is friendly and extremely accommodating, and the food is wonderful. I had Le Treat Yo’ Self: Foie Gras (pan-seared goose liver with as it did in my head? If so, I’m not going caramelized White Peach and Port Wine to apologize. The fact of the matter is, sauce) for my first course. Matt described Le Yaca sometimes you have to put your foot it as “unctuous” but I preferred to call it By Staff Writers Matt Turtoro down and eat ramen at home.

Although you must preorder the soufflé (around the time the appetizer plates are taken away), the dessert is well worth the preplanning. A soufflé can best be described as a piping-hot ramekin of sheer bliss. The crisp, browned top spills over the sides of the ramekin and playfully hides an airy yet eggy interior. The act of cracking open the top of the soufflé to pour in a cascade of Crème anglaise heightens the sensory overload. This soufflé was perfect…the orange essence from the Grand Marnier helped to take away some of the saccharin notes that flavored the remainder of the plate. A Café au Lait rounded off the dessert perfectly. Lost your élan? No joie de vivre left?
