Everything about our dinner was perfect. We sat outside on the patio which was very nice. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful. To drink, we each had a cocktail. I had the bison, or something like that. He had the orange cat, which we HIGHLY recommend! With dinner, we drank a bottle of the Papagiannakos which was crisp and delicious. We had the saganaki cheese, which they light on fire for you. Definitely recommend if you haven’t had it before. The octopus was delicious. Greek salad was refreshing and large to split between the two of us. We didn’t finish it because we wanted to save room for our entrees, which we both split. The whole european sea bass was perfectly cooked, served with spinach the most delicious lemon potatoes that were simply amazing. The pastitsio was one of the best dishes I’ve eaten in awhile. Not only was it HUGE, but the flavors were amazing, and it was pefectly crispy where it needed to be. We loved the loukamades for dessert, but forgot to take a pic. Luigi was our server and did a great job, the entire staff was very helpful and professional. Would definitely come back again!

We went here for date night. Loved the ambience and the service was good as well. We ordered the shrimp zorba as the appetizer and I had the moussaka as the entrèe. My wife had the fish in parchment. The food was delicious. High marks for the overall experience. It scores an 8/10 on my personal score.

My husband and I were there during brunch hours and sat outside. It was absolutely a wonderful experience, from service to the handcrafted cocktail (souer), the specialty lemonade, and the food. John, our server, played a huge part in making our time there enjoyable and special, and made excellent menu recommendations. We went for the Greek meatballs appetizer, Greek salad, lamb Benedict and baklava ice cream and everything was perfect. Thank you to the staff at Yianni’s Taverna for helping us celebrate our anniversary Greek style! We’ll definitely be back.

THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD!!! Can’t recommend it enough. This was my second visit here, stopped in town for the holiday and I wanted to eat here so badly since the first time was great. Super authentic Greek food and the Atmosphere is so cool, lots of pictures, well decorated. Modern but still Mediterranean vibe. Staff is amazing. We had reservations for 5:30 and were promptly seated, we asked for a quiet section so we could easily talk and were accommodated graciously. We ordered A LOT of food for 4 people. Trio dips with pita and veggies, we got the eggplant, tazatziki, and spicy feta—which we enjoyed so much when the owner? Perhaps manager? Came over to see how we were doing we raved so much about it that she said they can send us home with a pint for purchase! We also got a saganaki because it’s delicious and always a fun show when they light it on fire and yell oopa! The shrimp zorba, the horiatiki salad, lamb gyros with Greek fries. Which are the only way you should ever eat fries—fresh oregano, creamy salty feta and lemon juice—SO ADDICTING. And lamp chops! We also got alcoholic drinks, a Paloma and the fresko. Both refreshing and delicious. We finished off our feast with some baklava and espresso. Our waiter was so busy he actually forgot we ordered the espresso shots, but we dug into our desserts without them—he came back afterwords to apologize and brought them out anyways free of charge!!! Perfect place, amazing staff and service, and the most delicious food. Will be customers here for life!

An excellent meal. We had the flambe cheese with the eggplant and zucchini chips and steamed clams for appetizers. They were excellent. Our entrees were the whole red snapper, the Moussaka, and the lamb chops. They gave us 5 grilled lamb chops that were grilled to perfection. The red snapper was light and flavorful. The Moussaka was layer upon layer of flavors. We will definitely be back.

Great experience! I am not Greek, so I can’t say if the food is a good representation of Greek food, but it was amazing. Very flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly! Atmosphere is clean and aesthetic, service is professional and prompt. Food portions are a good fit for the price point as well. It made for a great date night and we will certainly be going back for more!
