Yono's - City of Albany

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!

Albany’s 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.

If I could give this a 0 I would. The owner (Dominick P) and workers at Yonos are disrespectful , unprofessional, and flat out rude. Their food is as disgusting as their attitude… especially alice.

Second time here. Went for Valentine’s 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 didn’t 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 it’s a holiday. We were served one course and had to wait 5 minutes before we got flatware. Doesn’t seem long until you’re 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 can’t 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.
