We were returning to Virginia Beach where we honeymooned 50 years ago. I read the reviews of Yiannis on Trip Advisor and decided to book our anniversary dinner here. It definitely did not disappoint! The atmosphere, the staff, the food all exceeded our expectations. It was so good that we made another reservation for Tuesday. Would highly recommend!!

We ordered the same thing (tomahawk steak to share) as last time but it came out differently. We actually had to cut it off the bone this time. Looked at others around us who ordered the same thing and theirs came out as we expected. Steak also wasn’t as good as last time. Dry and flavorless.
