Menus

a white plate topped with a grilled chicken breast, sauce and coleslaw salad on top

Join us January 10-19th for Kansas City Restaurant Week! 

Check out our lunch and dinner menu where you can get your favorite items like the hand-rolled herbed potato gnocchi and phyllo brownie OR try something new like the chef-featured Short Ribs with barley parmesan risotto, glazed carrots and horseradish chimichurri! 


The eclectic menu is inspired by a combination of American, French, Italian and Greek cuisines. Innovative small plates share the menu with fresh salads, wood-fired pizzas, classic pastas and an array of the freshest seafood dishes. Perhaps most whimsical is the name itself and the image it conjures up. Ya Ya means grandmother in Greek. The restaurant is actually named after co-founder Paul Khoury’s own grandmother, who as the wife of an ambassador, traveled in many European countries gathering ideas for her own special recipes, some of which are still used in the restaurant today.
