Love the place.. The nasi lemak presentation is fantastic. The environment is quiet for lunch. Dinner service is good with the next door restaurant serenading with the live band. Evenings is good to be seated outside. Food is good. A good spread between local, western selections

It's not my 1st time here, a great place to gather with your family, friend or have dinner with your loved ones.
A wide selection of hot and cold drinks, i like teh tarik the most. Food selection is impressive. Superb spread and friendly staff. Nice ambience.

We have been meaning to visit Senibong Cove for a while. Today seemed the perfect opportunity to do so to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary.
We had a walk along the boardwalk and admired the boats in the marina before going into Yew’s. It was disappointing that they did not have white wine but I chose a cocktail instead. We both had salad to start with - Trevor’s salad came with salmon and I chose the broccoli salad. Both were nicely presented. We both chose slightly differing lamb rack dishes - mine was lamb with black pepper and mint sauce and Trevor chose the lamb with bbq sauce. Again both were nicely presented and well cooked.
We rounded off our lunch with a couple of desserts, chocolate mousse and mango lava cake which were yummy!
I would say it was not overly busy in the cafe to begin with but did pick up during our meal. Not necessarily a place to linger but overall a nice place to have lunch and the staff were helpful too.
We would go again.

The food was average and the management is quite rude. I wouldn't recommend anyone to dine in here. You may check the picture attachment on way they reply their customer for giving a constructive feedback. It reflects alot about their values. Customers convenience is not prioritized . An apology and assurance to improve their service would be better.

This cafe is one of the best cafes in JB. The food, atmosphere, lighting, scent, service and vibes are incomparable. Definitely will come back for more and it is certainly highly recommended by me

Enjoyed the local dishes the few times I have ordered them especially the nasi lemak. Simple casual ambience, great for family eats or catching up with friends.

Lunched at Yew's cafe & bistro last Saturday. The place is so wonderful with outdoor scenery of yachts as you walk along the boardwalk towards the cafe. Food selection is limited, taste is so..so, nothing great. I noticed that food ordered wrongly served to the table. No big crowd upon that time, if they ever get confused or too many to handle. The on only great thing is the magnificent view of senibong Cover Marina, and that if you get to eat outdoor of this place!

Food options limited. Hardly any vegetarian. I had to survive on some bruschetta which was the only veg option besides salads. View is beautiful so sipping coffee is a good idea sitting there.

Nice enough staff. Food options limited. For somewhere that serves breakfast, not to have tomatoes and normal mushrooms is extremely strange. Virtually no vege options unless you go for something deep fried like chips, onion rings, mozzarello sticks, all cooked from frozen packet food. Strange they dont have chili sauce, or even know what it is.
Disappointing lunch. Doubt I will find a reason to go back for anything more than a beer (which was ok).

Stopped for lunch. Very slow service. Wrong meal brought to table.
Ordered grilled salmon salad
When order was fixed I received tiny price of over cooked salmon with lots of oil. And salad was just lettuce.
Expensive for not much food.

We ordered Grilled Chicken Chops and beer. The chicken chop was tender and delicious. We will certainly go back again for the good food.

This place more or less ticks all the right boxes.
Service is very good without being oppressive.
Menu select is good, catering for most tastes.
Location is great, adjacent to Senibong Marina.
Prices are very competitive, especially when considering the location.
Would we eat here again?
A definite YES.
