    I love chef tasting menus, however my experience at Yono’s was the absolute BEST. Food was Michelin quality. The wine pairing, well I wasn’t expecting nearly 8 glasses of full pours! Wow. Will absolutely be back!

    Yonos never disappoints! The food is excellent, service is superb across the board, and the wine service is phenomenal. This is by far the best restaurant in Albany, and it's not even close.

    Going to Yono’s is always a dining experience. The most recent dinner was a fundraiser for the Jacques Pepin Foundation. The dinner was prix fixe with wine pairings. This was an evening that the kitchen was truly singing and the wine pairings were classic and spot on. No matter when you go to Yono’s you will walk away sated and smiling.

    Caesar salad unexpectedly was hot and spicy and consisted of two thin spires of Romaine lettuce festooned with a sauce that was so full of peppery spice that it was inedible. The duck that I had was decorative but scanty, and came with 3 split brussel sprouts. My partner asked for well cooked scallops. She received three and the accompanying Polenta was also incredibly spicy and inedible. The champagne by the glass was meagerly poured until we objected.. As a result my partner had to send hers back and so that we could make it to the symphony she ended up missing her supper.
