Yanni's Modern Mediterranean

Sorry to say that we went to Yanni's for a birthday dinner tonight, but it's closed! They closed in November 2023. There wasn't anything about that in what we saw online. The one star is for sadness, not for the quality of anything there.

We hadn't been here in years but had a NM Restaurants gift card and Mediterranean food sounded good so we decided to give them a try again. The atmosphere is nice and our server did a good job. The food, overall, was fine but nothing special and I felt the portions were a little small for the price. My wife ordered a Fireside Sangria that looked great but arrived watery and one-dimensional considering all of the fruit, cinnamon, etc that was in it. We shared a steamed artichoke app that was very good- but $16 for an artichoke? I ordered the Gyro (pictured) and it seemed there was more red onion than gyro meat which was disappointing at $20 when I could go to so many other places and get a similar gyro for half that. It was very flavorful and enjoyable once I removed about half the onions. Again, nothing terrible but also nothing noteworthy for me besides the prices.

The most AMAZING, DELICIOUS steak I ever had!! Cooked to perfection!! The potatoes au gratin and fresh green beans were also to die for!! Absolutely no additional seasonings were needed!The service was out of this world and the atmosphere was very nice!

Good parking in back, if you pay for parking, yanni's will validate your ticket. Very good service, great food, great place. The meal I got was delicious. Souvlaki chicken, squash, rice and baklava ice cream, which was shared by 3.

I was really impressed with this restaurant. Not only were the drinks and food perfect, but the portion sizes were big and the staff were all super friendly. This is the perfect place for a date night or to celebrate something.
