" Yanni's is fantastic! The outdoor seating is lovely, and the ambiance is perfect for relaxing with friends. We had a mix of appetizers, including the fried calamari and garlic French fries, both of which exceeded my expectations. I ordered the grilled vegetable sandwich, and it was hearty and full of flavor. However, my friends opted for more traditional dishes and raved about the chicken piccata. We finished with the chocolate mousse; it was rich and delightful! Definitely a place I would visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic dining experience at Yanni's! The food was delectable, and the service was impeccable. I had the grilled octopus, which was simply divine, paired with a lovely glass of wine recommended by our server. For dessert, we savored their famous bougatsa, a delightful pastry. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for dinner with friends. I can't recommend it highly enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Another wonderful visit to Yanni's! This time, we tried the chicken saltimboca, and it did not disappoint. The flavors were vibrant and perfectly balanced. The ambiance rocked a romantic vibe with great music and light décor. I enjoyed every moment and the value was great given the quality. I can happily recommend this spot to anyone looking for fresh Mediterranean food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a rather average experience at Yanni's. The food came out quickly, but it didn’t wow me. We tried a variety of appetizers, which were nice but not memorable. I had the pasta special, and the flavors were a bit lacking. The atmosphere is cozy, but I found the service to be slightly inattentive at times. I might consider going again, hoping for better food next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Superb experience at Yanni's! The menu offers a fantastic selection of Mediterranean dishes, and the staff was exceptionally attentive. I had the lamb kebab and it was delicious, juicy, and well-seasoned. The red wine suggested paired perfectly with my meal. I also tried their baklava for dessert, and it was a delightful way to end the meal. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yanni's has a great reputation, and while I enjoyed my visit, it didn't completely live up to the hype. The food was good but not incredible. I ordered the seafood stew, and the seafood wasn't as fresh as I expected. The service was fast, though, and the dessert options were really good. I think I might stop by again to try something else from the menu that might be more appealing. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Yanni's, I leave super satisfied! The owners are so welcoming, and the servers are attentive, adding to the overall great experience. I always order their signature dishes, especially the lamb shank, which is incredibly tender and flavorful! The portions are generous, and every bite is a reminder of homemade comfort food at its finest. Don’t skip dessert, either; the tiramisu is one of the best I've ever had! " (*Curated Review*)
