- TToniNew York City •5 reviews4.0Dined 7 days agoWe booked a table here prior to attending a show at the Palace Theater. We absolutely loved it. My first impression was that their beer, wine and spirits list (including crafty cocktails) is probably one of the most comprehensive I’ve ever seen. They give you a basket of warm homemade pretzel nuggets to start. Menu is very creative, with lots of interesting options. Their onion soup is some of the best I’ve had with its rich flavor and cheesy goodness (I hate when they skimp on the cheese!). Our server Colleen was very efficient and friendly. She had quite a few tables and she managed them effortlessly. The bar scene was hopping and looked like it might be an after work spot in Albany. Nice bar, nice vibe. Would definitely return.More infodp An American BrasseriePrice: Expensive• American• Albany•4.4

- PPeterWashington, D.C. Area •6 reviews5.0Dined on 23 Dec 2024Yono's was an absolute treat! We brought my family for a holiday gathering and were seated right in front of a roaring fire. Kiara and the whole team were wonderfully attentive and very accommodating. They handled dietary limitations and one diner's hearing challenges incredibly smoothly. The meal was hands down the best I've had in Albany. Our group especially enjoyed the Indonesian dishes. Their seasonal apple Pavlova was divine - I would gladly eat its apple chutney all the time! We can't wait to return to Yono's and try more dishes!More infoYono's RestaurantPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Albany•4.7
