                    YB was terrific! The food was delicious, and the service was great! It's a small establishment that packs a big punch. I've been to YB several times, and it doesn't disappoint. Oh, and it's a BYOB. We really enjoyed our experience there.

                    My wife and I visited during Restaurant Week and took advantage of the prix fixe menu. Our meals were outstanding - start to finish. I'd highly recommend the Six Pepper Pork Ribeye. The service was friendly and attentive (Thanks Trish!). The atmosphere was quaint and lovely. Perfect evening!

                    Our first time at Y.B. it was cozy and welcoming. Waiter Michael excellent! Unfortunately each dish cod, pork and chicken parm was over salted with what tasted like table salt not even sea salt!

                    The service was exceptional.  the atmosphere is modern elegance. The duck wings were exceptional along with the pork shank and cod. The portions were small and a side might be helpful.

                    An enjoyable meal at YB in Cape May. Portion size has reduced since our last visit and there were no specials. Nonetheless, the food was delicious, service was attentive, & a good time was had by all.
