Albanys best kept secret! Why is this place hidden in the back of a hotel - needs to be a stand alone venue downtown! Excellent food, prepared and served exquisitely- impressive wine list. Very nice and attentive staff. I just wish the room was nicer.

My boyfriend treated me to Yono's for Valentines Day, and I have to say, Yono's was probably one of the best culinary experiences Ive 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 gateaueach 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!

Second time here. Went for Valentines Day. Very displeased with overall dining experience. Food was good, but nothing wow about it. Ordered the more expensive wine pairing but there was no connection between the wine and the dish, I think the sommelier really missed the mark on this. The menu was changed and nuts were added to some dishes which were not previously there. I was surprised to see they didnt ask about allergies before we ordered as two dishes came with them and there was a nut allergy issue. The space was crowded and loud, I realize its a holiday. We were served one course and had to wait 5 minutes before we got flatware. Doesnt seem long until youre sitting there staring at your food. We got served still water even though I paid for sparkling. For the money I spent this time, I cant really justify going back unless I was given a good discount. The first time I came was a stark difference from what I just experienced. For the money I spent, I feel like I got robbed.
