Yonos - Albany (NY)

1 /5 classic dying words: Tried their tasting menu. Pretty unacceptable for fine dining. Food too salty. Service extremely slow. The technicality was also subpar. Feels like weve been eating different foods than everyone else in the reviews. In fact, the plating does look a lot worse for us than others in the reviews.

2 /5 John Sherman: We have been here many times and were very disappointed in the quality of the food. Many items we look forward to were not available. Some food was served cold and the flavor, quality and texture was well below our previous experience and expectation. One of our party had the pairing menu, not one time was there a description of the wine or an explanation of the rational for the pairing provided.

1 /5 Matt Lehmann: Incredibly disappointing. The waiters did their best to save the day but our experience at Yono’s was one of the worst ever. What went wrong: - even with a reservation we waited for 45 min to be seated. Nobody offered any drinks or snacks - the food service was incredibly slow (as in waiting for two hours for the entrees) - the food quality was shameful, to the point where I was seriously wandering if you could serve this in a restaurant I feel very sorry for the waiters who had to endure this with many, many angry customers that night. It clearly shows how bad management can destroy a restaurant that was supposed to be one of the best in town. I will add that the restaurant kindly discounted our bill admitting that this wasn’t up to their usual standards.

1 /5 Patricia Nogueira: ‘Don’t worry, it’s almost over’. That’s literally what a server said to us about our experience there. We went on NYE and it was the worst experience eating out of my life. We waited for almost an hour to get seated, even though we had a reservation. The menu was meh at best. The main course was hard to eat. We left before the dessert came because the hours we spent there waiting for the courses to come were just not worth it. They barely offered bread and water in the meantime. Honestly, there was nothing about fine dining. A food truck would have provided a better experience. I do not recommend this place. The guests we saw leaving the place were also looking pretty worn down. A server mentioned that the main chef left the restaurant this year, so maybe that’s why it used to be good but longer is? We won’t be coming back. I’m not a good cook, but my food is better than why we had there.
