Yono'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!

We always look forward to dining at dp Brasserie. The food is delicious and the service exceptional. Kiara R. was very charming, knowledgeable and attentive. We enjoyed the charred octopus, the pear and chevre salad, a burger and the chicken Gabriel. The Bananas Foster was a perfect ending to our perfect meal.
