We love to go to Yanni's when we happen to be in Albuquerque. The service is always excellent....prompt and friendly. The food has many layers of flavor. The only problem we had during our last visit was that the saganaki was burned and dry. However the lamb shanks were out of this world. Their seafood was cooked to perfection. Go... More

My son & I recently decided to go to Yanni's to celebrate his birthday on April 17. We had heard so many good things about Yanni's, but our experience was terrible. We were seated in the back room by the back door even though there were only 2 tables occupied in the front room. This was very unwelcoming. The appetizer... More

Yanni's has always been a favorite of mine, but never again! My recent April visit was very disappointing. I ordered grilled salmon and a caesar salad. I asked for the salmon to be cooked thoroughly. However, it came out raw. I asked to have it recooked and it came out close to raw again. The waitress saw that I left... More

From the many warm greetings you receive when you enter, to the friendly, attentive service, delicious greek appetizers, and superb seafood, this was an evening to remember. If you want to go somewhere that truly appreciates you as a customer, and has exceedingly great food to match, Yanni's can't be beat.

Had a group to take to dinner that had a variety of tastes. I hadn't been to Yanni's for a while but when I looked up their menu on line, I knew this was the place to go. Terrific choice of Greek and Mediterranean cuisine. Appetizers - Saganaki (Flaming Greek Kaseri Cheese) and Greek Appetizer Plate (Spanakopita, Feta Cheese &... More

This resteraunt has it all. Good food, great service, and an excellent wine menu. The lamb shank is fantastic and tender and the chops are out of this world.

The meal choices are actually eclectic and the service is friendly, prompt and cheerful. Their stuffed flounder is not to be missed coming with plentiful perfectly prepared vegetables. I usually get their delicious Greek food, but could not resist the flounder. There was jazz trio performing the night I was there and they were NY bistro quality, with a pretty... More

Great selection of mediterranean food - seafood, pastas, lamb, steaks, Greek specials. Nice wine selection. Love it for lunch or dinner. It's classy without being stuffy. Located in Nob Hill area - lots of shops, restaurants & bars to visit after your meal.

We love this restaurant. The atmosphere is great, the food is great, the wait staff is great. Go here for a special occasion and you won't be disappointed. Every bite is mouth watering. The menu isn't overwhelming and you will want to come back. Very authentic Mediterranean food. It gets rave reviews and deserves every one!
