    ** 2/4/22.. Great experience again. Steak had great sear and perfect pink inside. Lobster fettuccine amazing, seabass cooked perfectly. Waitress was also amazing. So close to home, it's a shame I don't come here more often.. Haven't visited here since 2018 but came back for brunch. Unfortunately it was a Saturday and brunch was only done on a Sunday. Had lunch anyways. Order crab cake and mussels for apps. Both were delicious and flavorful. Paella was also wonderful, lots of seafood including lobster. The filet was tender and seasoned well but ordered it medium and it was more of medium well. Server was pleasant and attentive. I will have to try the brunch here sometime when I'm not working on a Sunday. Pricey but does not disappoint.

    My girlfriend took me for dinner for my Birthday. She doesn't eat seafood but knows I do and had heard good things about it. The seafood was very delicious and I enjoyed my meal. I got the broiled combo platter and added two 4oz lobster tails. I started with oysters of course. How can't you at an Oyster house? She got the NY Strip. She only eats steak well done...I know but she likes what she likes. They offered a house made steak sauce that she really enjoyed. The only problem is that they weren't close to well done on the steak temperature. She ate around the ends and enjoyed that. I got to enjoy parts of her steak that were a more acceptable temperature. We completed our meal with a creme brulee and it was so creamy and delicious. The service was good. A very pleasant meal. Thank you.

    Had a great experience here. Such a cool location, ina residential neighborhood. Really nice inside also. Super deep selection of sea food and some other options. Had the crab cakes which were gluten free (NO bread filling!!). Wife had the lobster tempora which was out of this world. Kids liked it also and price was reasonable for what you get. We will be back.

    I love this restaurant, it is among my Top 10. The food is delicious. The quality of all their dishes and their freshness make each bite a true pleasure. The prices are very reasonable and the service is excellent; Thanks Valery. From the first time I visited this restaurant with my mother, we were delighted. Valery was very attentive and friendly and provided us with a top quality service, she is the best. In a period of one month I visited this restaurant 3 times,

    Really beautiful space, open and inviting with stylish decor. Our service was exceptional, friendly and attentive. Food was very solid! Clean strong seafood flavors, punched up with good seasoning and acid. The drinks were also good! Flavor forward!

    We loved it! First time visiting. Location is a nice neighborhood section. We parked on street less than a block from the restaurant. Very nice welcoming atmosphere and the server was very attentive and pleasant!! Food was delicious. We shared a bang bang shrimp appetizer. I had the stuffed salmon and my wife had the short beef rib boneless Wellington. We also split a piece of raspberry cheesecake which was so creamy and tasty. The bill matched the taste and quality of the food so we'll have to keep our visiting there for special occasions but that's a good thing!! Look forward to sharing and visiting with friends and family again in the future for sure.

    Never been here before, but I'm so glad we found this place. Quite simply: If you like seafood, GO HERE. It's in an unassuming location in a residential neighborhood (street parking only - but there was plenty of it - we were only 1/2 block away on a Sat evening). Very charming outside and in. The service was professional, courteous, and prompt (shout out to Ava who was great). Great beer and wine selection. And of course, the food.... Yum! Everything that needed to be was hot, the presentation top notch, and the flavor profiles very well done. They really know their stuff with seafood, here. Looking forward to coming back soon.

    Highly recommend! If you like seafood, you'll love Youell's. Their raw selections are amazing. Of course, if someone in your party doesn't eat seafood, that's ok... they have other options on the menu like steak.

    We had an incredible dining experience here tonight! All of the food was on point and fresh. The tuna tartar was absolutely to die for. The Fra Diavolo sauce on the muscles had me drinking it out of the empty shells. My wife got the beef wellington which had an incredible cheese sauce on it and it broke apart with a fork. I had the seafood fettuccine which was hearty and delicious. The scallops were absolutely perfect, which is hard to find. The drinks were great and the staff was beyond friendly. I'm kicking myself for not remembering our servers name. She was working upstairs, was tall with tortoise shell glasses and a high pony tail. She was absolutely amazing. We can't wait to see you again, skrimp daddy. Thank you again!

    We came here for an early dinner on a very busy Saturday night. However even despite the packed restaurant our service was incredible. The food came out at a perfect speed and the drinks were out in a few minutes after we ordered them. The chefs selection of oysters was fantastic, as was the New England clam chowder. The drinks were also incredible. Definitely recommend. Some of the best seafood in the area.

    So this place was amazing family friendly. It seated a family of 10 during a special occasion it was lovely. My dish I had was a grilled salmon with peach chutney on a bed of jasmine rice and spinach. Just the chutney itself was exquisite. Compliments to the chef!!!!! Waiters are on point nice and friendly 10 out of 10 THANKS!!!!!!!!!

    Love the atmosphere of the restaurant and the service was fantastic! Elements of my meal were really delicious, like the oysters, mussels and the braised short rib wellington (WONDERFUL!), but there were elements that weren't as great, like my side of snow crab legs that were a little over boiled so there was less meat. There was also a steak ordered at my table, which was cooked perfectly! I think it just hit me more because the prices of the food were a little higher. Overall, not bad though, I would go back!

    Great seafood without needing to leave the Lehigh Valley. Our waitress told us that the crab cakes and the seafood combos (we got combo #2) were the best sellers and we were not disappointed. Good selection of fresh oysters as well.

    Absolutely delicious food. Outstanding service. Was in the area on business and found this hidden gem of a restaurant by chance. Will definitely recommend to anyone traveling to the area. Highly suggest reservations but the bar also has full service

    Popped in after a round of golf without a reservation around 630p on a Saturday (5.20.23). Host was friendly and took our name for a table but we ended up just eating at the bar once 3 stools opened up. Alisha (spelling?) was amazing, super attentive and fun. Food was great as it always is at Youell’s, I got the surf and surf but the bar service was top notch! Huge shout out to Alisha and Ashley.

    Perfect spot for some drinks and dinner . My go to is the surf and surf and some oysters as an appetizer . That includes 2 delicious lobster tails , 1 crab cake and vegetable medley . DONT forget the dessert it’s a must so make room for my absolute favorite the blueberry carrot cake !

    Our food was awesome! The seafood is super fresh and well prepared. My husband got a create-your-own tower and I got the seafood fest. It was a ton of food and the price was much less than other seafood places we have gone that gave you less. I also had a mimosa flight which was great!

    It was excellent! My husband loved his meal so much he wanted to ask for the chef to hug him. I told him it would be a bit much. Chase was our server and he was wonderful too. This was our first time but not last. ;)

    Had the best Mother's Day & NYE dinner here. The seafood was phenomenal. Tender, fresh. Servers were attentive, informative & had a sense of humor. Make sure to stop in, but get a reservation 1st as it's a premier spot.

    My s/o and I celebrated my Birthday dinner there Friday, without reservations early afternoon. The atmosphere was very peaceful & very welcoming. The staff was on point & the food/drinks were simply out of the world!

  • 4/5 Vivek S. 1 year ago on Google
    It was interesting experience to be at Youell's. Staff and server were really good. Food was okay, we all were nuetral about it. Cocktails were big disappoint (we tried total 4, including a sangria flight) overall all drinks were extremely diluted and some sangria really sweet (like syrup). The best part was the oyesters, they had multiple options and were fresh (should have raw oyster bar menu)

  • 5/5 Amber U. 9 months ago on Google
    Delicious food. Great service. Great drinks. Kind of small place and crammed seating. Lighting was low. Bar area was nice. Pretty loud inside. Parking was also tough with street parking.

  • 5/5 Luz C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and service. It was a crowded back up night tonight and our lovely waitress made that time fly right by. Every drink tasted better than the last. Love this place, I'll come back every time.

  • 4/5 Pete N. 8 months ago on Google
    We always enjoy a dinner at Youells Oyster House. We started with 6 oysters and clams casino. Both apps were very good. The oysters always taste so fresh. For meals, my wife had a Caeser salad with Shrimp Cocktail. She did say the shrimp we good, just nothing extraordinary. I usually get the Paella but I went with the 16oz. Cowboy Ribeye, medium rare..The steak was cooked perfectly and had good taste, maybe a touch salty in spots. It wasn't bad at all but I'd probably stick with the Paella next time. Our waiter Cody was attentive and did an overall good job.

    Normally I love this place but currently they are running a disreputable β€œcoupon/deal”. If you dined here in December they provided the below ticket. Unfortunately, they are only honoring this if two people are present. Update: in response to the owner’s comment I need to question their integrity further. If someone dines at the restaurant would they be able to order two entrees, sample both and leave using the coupon then? Alternatively, do you prevent customers from taking home the remainder of their food if they get full?

😠 Seated at a dirty table. Under cooked bacon. Eggs with raw onion thrown on top. Toast that wasn't toasted. A waitress who we saw one time. Horrible I don't recommend at all. When we paid the check hostess asked how was your food, my husband said not good and the hostess ignored him while asking how...
