" Honestly, I was excited to try Yanni’s after hearing about it. It's got a nice layout, but the experience was average. While the service was polite, my steak dish could have used a lot more seasoning. The flavors felt muted. However, the atmosphere gave a nice cozy feel, making it suitable for small gatherings. Perhaps it was just the wrong dish to order. " (*Curated Review*)

" Yanni's Bar & Grill was a delightful surprise! The staff welcomed us warmly, and we had an excellent meal. The chicken curry was unique and the flavors well thought out. My friends opted for the steak dishes and were equally pleased. The desserts were exceptional, especially the cheesecake, and those are hard to come by! Overall, I’d say it’s a prime choice for anyone looking for quality dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance at Yanni's is absolutely lovely, especially in the evening. I discovered this place through recommendations and was eager to try the menu. We ordered the trio appetizer platter, which was a hit at the table. I had the seafood linguine, and while it was good, I expected a bit more from the sauce. The service was incredibly friendly, and I appreciated the attentiveness shown throughout the meal. Overall, a pleasant outing, but I'll try something different next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yanni's Bar & Grill is a significant hit in my book! I often come here for lunch, and I'm always pleased with my choice. They serve a killer Mediterranean salad with a range of fresh toppings; I usually add shrimp to mine. Each visit gets better! Just make sure to arrive earlier to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere before it fills up on weekends. The waitstaff is friendly but a bit busy during peak times. Always a favorite spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Yanni's and I was pleasantly surprised! The decor is warm and inviting, making it perfect for a date night. I went with a friend, and we tried the chicken lasagna and grilled salmon. Both dishes were excellent; the flavors were spot on! We also shared a dessert, which was a beautifully crafted Tiramisu that melted in our mouths. The staff was attentive without being intrusive. I highly recommend making a reservation, as it gets busy, especially on weekends. " (*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*)
