Yianni's

Shana Vrouletis

It's tricky to give an accurate rating because my food experiences here over the years have been so varied. For instance, I went to a family member's wedding recently and Yianni's pulled out all the stops, the food was excellent and I was pleasantly surprised. I had the duck and it was soo good. My most recent experience after that, I ordered a new item on the menu, chicken saganaki, (which comes with shrimp but I asked for it without, which was no problem for the kitchen), but it really was not very appealing in appearance or flavor, overkill on the feta cheese. My husband's burger was meh. The food is overpriced as well. On the positive side, they have expanded their menu recently, which is good because the menu was a bit limited before. I don't know if it's due to a particular chef or the dish itself, but some dishes are very enjoyable, some not, it's unpredictable. The place has a lot of character, it really reminds me of an old-time boarding house, I love to have a drink on the veranda in summer or eat inside by the fireplace or at the bar during the winter holidays. The service can be slow or indifferent, and the food a mixed bag, so without the atmosphere, you can get a better quality meal at Chatham grill and more interesting selection at People's Pub.It's a shame because so much can be done with the space, like at my cousin's wedding, but the inspiration is lacking.

We were not acknowledged when we arrived. We asked the busboy if there was anyone to seat us. After being seated we were ignored and eventually got the attention of a person who seemed to be wait staff who indicated that she would find someone. The attention to customers was poor. Our drink order took a while to be delivered. Their excuse was that they were busy. After completing our meals the empty plates sat on the table. The food was not exceptional but okay. I rate this establishment as 2.5/5.

Went to Easter “buffet,” spent 40 bucks per head and was sent upstairs to the back corner. We made reservations in advance, only to eat on what looked like a card table with clear plastic cups as our setting. Service was awful, they should be embarrassed. We waited 20 minutes to order drinks that didn’t arrive to our table until after we finished our first plate. There was a long line to the buffet only to find there was little food to pick from. We slowly went through a line of empty trays. Of what was left, was either cold or was store bought (desserts). A little girl at the table behind us complained of only eating watermelon and sausage, not because she was picky, but because it was all that was left. The second trip down was unsuccessful due to a long line forming to obtain plates. We then asked for the check, waited another 20 minutes and ended up just paying at the bar. We left angry with not even an apology. Very trashy place that charges for “upscale” dining. Edit in response to the owner: Stop telling us that you would have accommodated us, when you couldn’t! We watched another table asked to be accommodated and the response from the service was that there were NO open tables downstairs and they had to sit at the bar. How would you expect an 80 yr old woman with us to sit at the bar? The point is, which you stated, you overbooked. You were greedy, plain and simple. You didn’t have to take on the extra reservations and we paid for your mistake. There are plenty of other restaurants in the area that are open, we CHOSE to go to Yiannis because on the other occasions in the PAST it was a great experience. We paid over $240 for your response to us is to be considerate?? Why do I need to lower the value of my hard earned money to compensate for your restaurant’s poor quality service and food? Nah, at least some of us will go elsewhere to a restaurant who actually wants to keep their name. Good luck with your future business, with your responses to us and your other customers, you will certainly need it.

This has become our go to place. They have great straightforward stuff like burgers and fried chicken but then they have everything else! The menu is really extensive. Last night I had scallops with mac & cheese and it was ridiculous. My wife loved the fried chicken!
