Everything about this place is fancy. The food, service and ambiance. But it is very expensive. They have a small menu but all the items are very well thought out and delicious. They also have wine pairing if you want. The menu changes very often and the food is always fresh. There isn't a good place to park for free so heads up.
Worth a visit for a celebration or something but too expensive to go regularly.
Boyfriend loved his food. I loved the arugula salad but not my main dish. I'm not a sweet or coconut fan which limited my options. I found a beef dish with carrots as a side but was unhappy when I realized they were candied carrots. The meat was a little dry for my liking and the sauce did not taste good to me. Great service. I'd requested a drink and did not like it. They got me a different drink and did not charge for the first drink. They say they have valet parking but it was more like a parking lot that even after calling was still so confusing we did street parking and walked. Overall great experience. I would go again and be more vocal about what I do not like and asking about words on the menu that I do not understand.
Being a foodie I was excited to come to this restaurant with a good reputation in the Albany area. Many things were good. Service was very friendly (our waiter was a hoot), little velvet stools for purses, and the chef even came out to meet the group. The pianist didn't take a break during the entire dinner, providing a nice ambiance.
If what you are looking for is true fine dining in the Albany area, this is the place. There are other very good restaurants, but none combines the quality of food, service, ambience, and wine like Yono's. The food is exquisite, not just on the first bite, but on the last bite as well. The service is formal and professional, but in a way that makes the customer feel comfortable. The wine list is great. Not just because you can purchase a great old Bordeaux at an appropriate price, but because you can find delicious wines in every category and at every price level.
