We chose the Valentine’s Day tasting menu here, for a total of 6 courses. The scallop crudo and foie gras were decent, but the other courses were forgettable, even bad. It took over 3 hours for this meal, but it wasn’t 3 hours that were used well. We had long stretches of time between small courses, and at one point one course was forgotten about and given at a later point than was proper. At the end of the meal, we asked for our final course - dessert - to be brought out with our check. This was forgotten. We asked an additional 3 times for the check, to only be forgotten again by the same person every time until 45 minutes later, when the manager checked in on us. This was an incredibly underwhelming and disappointing experience, all of which centered around the poor service. We’ve enjoyed meals both more and less expensive than this that have had far better service, course pacing, and food.

It was a nice dinner, the service was excellent, everbody was very attend. We had the 3 curses, the timing between plates was good. Food was good, I was expecting more different flavors comparing with other restaurants. They have a wide wine menu but the prices are confusing and the wine in our bill was 3 times more expensive than expected.

Yono's food, service & ambiance was exceptional. From the Maitre d', to the Sommelier, wait staff, etc. Fresh service before each course. My partner got the 8 course wine pairing that was exceptional - as I was driving. At the end of our meal, they got a little busy, and we had been there 3 1/2 hours for an exceptional experience. We cannot wait to return. This is a phenomenal gem in downtown Albany.

I expected a superb 3 course meal. I was a bit disappointed. My octopus just tasted salty and dry. My short ribs tasted like they were forgotten in the oven. The cheese cake for dessert and my coffee were fabulous. The cheese cake was extremely creamy and the crust complemented it perfectly.

Still the go-to spot in Albany for fine dining; the best service around (new addition this time: one of the staff has learned that our elder son likes to practice magic tricks, so has started bringing some of his own when we are on the reservation list!), the best wine list around (last night we tried a *NY* *red* and it was super, on Josh's vouching - there's a level of trust that's hard to find). Heck, they have even made the coffee excellent now (and coming from me, that's an extremely high bar).

The food was well prepared, of high quality, and presented nicely. However the flavors were not very exciting and a bit bland. Sauces offered very little flavor. We were expecting more, considering the price and reputation. Our waiter was competent, but invasive and talked too loudly and too much at our table and other tables nearby. . Our table allowed a view of the kitchen door opening and closing accompanied by audible kitchen sounds, which could have been diminished by a simple room divider. The desserts were excellent.

I chose Yono’s because I love Indonesian food. I ordered the riestaffel and the wine pairings. The good news is that the wines were excellent and the pours generous. But the food was a real disappointment: tasteless sauces and the short rib rendang — a dish I normally love— was all fat and no meat. The exceptions were the spicy noodles which accompanied the duck and the crispy pork belly with the orange-ginger sauce. The best course was their take on bananas Foster, which came with a slightly salty coconut cake and a scoop of rich vanilla ice cream. Overall, I regretted spending so much money on such a disappointing meal.
