Should put on website that only take reservations on weekends.

My wife and I were in Okoboji for vacation a couple weeks ago. Our dinner was fantastic! It was so good, that when dinner plans came up the 2nd night of our stay, my wife wanted to go back again. Thank you Yesterday's!!

Yellow Fin Tuna 5/10 missing flavor Greek Tilapia 7/10 fish was good, pasta was bland and vegetable was odd to go with the dish Shrimp Scampi 6/10 shrimp was good size, fries were soggy and rice flavor clashed
Seats were hard and uncomfortable Service by Sophia was great!

I was really looking forward to enjoying a dinner at Yesterday's. This was the first time I have had the opportunity to eat here. I was VERY disappointed. I made reservations for 5, the day before. When we arrived, we were seated right away. The restaurant was about half full when we arrived but tables filled fairly quickly after that. We waited 30 minutes for our drink order to be taken and another 15 minutes for our dinner order. We saw tables that were seated after us being served their dinners. After 60 minutes of our order being taken, we notified the manager/owner and the food came pretty quickly after that. All of our dishes were too well done and dried out. It seemed they had sat under the warmer for a while. The price vs. the quality of our food and service was unacceptable and we will not return to this restaurant.

My husband and I come here every time we are in Okoboji, he had experience living here when he was young and loves the nostalgia. Tonight we visited and we were waited on by Abby and she was absolutely fantastic, just the right amount of visiting the table and as someone with really bad social anxiety it was refreshing how kind and reassuring she was when i asked questions. My favorite part of the meal was the creme brulee and my husband loved the scallops, I really look forward to our next visit.

Was supposed to be a romantic setting, but basic bar atmosphere. Food was second rate, waitress failed to tell us they were out of a side item until we asked about it should have come with the meal. Didn't offer a replacement. Don't recommend this place for visitors.

Wonderful hostess and attentive staff to begin with. We had three different servers check in on us immediately after being seated. It was finally sorted as to who was going to take care of our table after a few minutes. 40 minute wait only to be presented with the wrong item. When the “server” refreshed our water glasses and was asked about the incorrect order she replied, “I don’t know, you’ll have to ask your waitress.” Caesar Salad (that accompanied the Shrimp Scampi) was soggy - obviously premade and set aside in the frig to serve and much, much, later time. The wild rice that came with the Scampi was clumpy and sticky. Shrimp and vegetables were pretty good. Stick with the “don’t order seafood in a land-locked state” mantra. The steaks are probably delicious! High quality restaurant prices and buffet quality presentation with this meal.

An area classic! You can't go wrong with Yesterday's upscale choices, romantic lighting, and fantastic service!
Ordered an Old Fashioned...came incomplete with no soda and no requested garnish. One of our group of 4 had a "cold" soup. Salads were so-so, maybe 2 out of 5. Serve was good. Parmesean cheese wheel special was very good. Sorry, won't be returning!

We didn’t have reservations and staff got us a table on a really busy night anyway. I would recommend reservations! Friendly and extremely helpful and quick waitstaff, the waitresses were very attentive and the restaurant appeared well staffed. New York Style Chowder started our meal off with great flavor and truthfully, I would have taken about a gallon of it home! The Crab Cakes were wonderful, especially paired with the french fried onions that accompanied the dish. Peach and Goat Cheese Salad was fresh, delicious and tasted great with the addition of Steak Strips. Great flavors in every dish as well.
Parking: There are a couple of free parking lots with plenty of spaces in both directions if you don’t mind walking two or three blocks.

I ordered the seared sushi grade ahi tuna, it had a lot of gristle and had to use a knife to cut it. Tastes ok but a lot of gristle. My wife ordered crab cakes but the onions in top were burnt black. Could not get a timely drink because the waitresses were all standing at the bar talking most of the time we were there.

Terrible!! The wait time was ridiculous! We all had the cheese wheel and you’d think they’d serve it fresh and nice piping hot but NO! That dish was the coldest most bland and to topIt off EXPENSIVE! Everyone there was stuck up and I guess if you’re not a regular local and white you get treated like a peasant! The priority was another party that was blowing money at the bar instead of the quality of the food and hospitality! The waitress took my drink and never returned with a refill even though I was clearly not done eating! She even mentioned how I didn’t like the food.. and then offered me a box to go! No lady!! I was gonna choke on your dry chicken and hard cheese!! Next timeI’ll just make my pasta at home! Instead of supporting this place go to Los Pueblos! Hard Pass!
