Tried their tasting menu. Pretty unacceptable for fine dining. Food too salty. Service extremely slow. The technicality was also subpar. Feels like we’ve been eating different foods than everyone else in the reviews. In fact, the plating does look a lot worse for us than others in the reviews.

Always enjoy our meals here it’s lovely! I love the unique fresh breads – sun-dried tomato, saffron, always unique. My favorite is the suckling pig it’s amazing. Our last visit my mom had flown in from California excited to have their foie gras. At first we were told they just ran out, but a few minutes later the server said the chef had set a piece aside for a special guest who didn’t arrive, so they prepared it for my mom on the house – so nice of them! Nobody would do that nowadays, 5 stars based on that gesture alone!

‘Don’t worry, it’s almost over’. That’s literally what a server said to us about our experience there. We went on NYE and it was the worst experience eating out of my life. We waited for almost an hour to get seated, even though we had a reservation. The menu was meh at best. The main course was hard to eat. We left before the dessert came because the hours we spent there waiting for the courses to come were just not worth it. They barely offered bread and water in the meantime. Honestly, there was nothing about fine dining. A food truck would have provided a better experience. I do not recommend this place. The guests we saw leaving the place were also looking pretty worn down. A server mentioned that the main chef left the restaurant this year, so maybe that’s why it used to be good but longer is? We won’t be coming back. I’m not a good cook, but my food is better than why we had there.

My husband and I had a wonderful meal here. As always, you are treated like royalty in their opulent dining room. Our appetizers of Bahkmi noodles and ricotta gnocchi were delicious, as were our entrées of duck and scallops.
And bonus: Best gluten-free rolls I’ve ever had anywhere!
The service was extremely attentive and this place does food as well as they do hospitality, Yono’s GETS it!

We have been here many times and we’re very disappointed in the quality of the food. Many items we look forward to were not available. Some food was served cold and the flavor, quality and texture was well below our previous experience and expectation. One of our party had the pairing menu, not one time was there a description of the wine or an explanation of the rational for the pairing provided.

Incredibly disappointing. The waiters did their best to save the day but our experience at Yono’s was one of the worst ever.
What went wrong:
– even with a reservation we waited for 45 min to be seated. Nobody offered any drinks or snacks
– the food service was incredibly slow (as in waiting for two hours for the entrees)
– the food quality was shameful, to the point where I was seriously wandering if you could serve this in a restaurant
I feel very sorry for the waiters who had to endure this with many, many angry customers that night. It clearly shows how bad management can destroy a restaurant that was supposed to be one of the best in town.
I will add that the restaurant kindly discounted our bill admitting that this wasn’t up to their usual standards.

Took my boyfriend for our first time there for his birthday dinner. The attention to detail in everything they do was remarkable. They even printed a special happy birthday menu with his name on it. The food was amazing. We opted for the 3 course dinner but definetly want to try the 8 course tasting at some point. I had the lobster fried rice and the short rib and I wish I could recreate them at home because I will be thinking about them until the next time I go back. Service was excellent and not overbearing. Thank you so much for making it such a special evening!

What an absolutely beautiful restaurant for occasions such as anniversaries, graduations, birthdays and more. My boyfriend and I went to Yono’s to celebrate our 5 year anniversary tonight and it was one of the best decisions we could have made. Not only was the staff amazing, helpful, attentive and sweet, but the food itself was some of the best food we’ve ever had. The experience was unlike any other and the wine pairings that go with the meal were amazing. We did the 3 course meal but the waitress let us know we could add a mid course or a 4th course (being one of the first course options) for an a la carte price which ended up working perfectly for us as we were able to share with each other and try different things. The espresso Creme brûlée was a highlight of my night seeing as it’s one of my favorite deserts, and the food portions are definitely enough to get you full. We will definitely be back!

My boyfriend treated me to Yono’s for Valentine’s Day, and I have to say, Yono’s was probably one of the best culinary experiences I’ve ever had!
We had their special Valentine’s menu, which offered a 6-course tasting menu, and we decided to go with the wine pairings, which was an excellent choice. It was my first time experiencing the beauty of wine pairings, and I was amazed at how elegantly the wine enhanced each course – their selections of wines were *chefs kiss*
The complexity, flavor, and intricacy of each dish were phenomenal. The 6-course meal featured chilled creek oysters, butter poached scallops, root vegetable potage, foie gras, filet mignon, and dark chocolate gateau—each dish was a masterpiece and so beautifully presented. My personal favorite was the foie gras.
While Yono’s is definitely on the pricey side, it’s perfect for your fancy shmancy occasions. I’m looking forward to returning to explore their regular menu! (nom nom)

Great place for fine dining for either a special occasion or a work function in Albany. The atmosphere is nice, although it might be a little loud in the bar area. I ate with a work function in the dining room in the back which had a piano and a large table area which was apart from the rest if the dining room. It was perfect for a large group.
The food was excellent, with an interesting mix of various genres that blended well together. It’s a foodie’s paradise! The service was excellent and more of what I expect from a fine dining establishment. Very attentive and friendly. Not a place for a quick bite, because it takes time, but to be honest, not being rushed is exactly what I want from a place like this (too often there is no time for conversation). Very highly recommended!
