Great for fine wines
Good for special occasions

Yono's, a two time Top 100 restaurants winner, has been Albany's premiere World Class restaurant for almost years. Owned and operated by second generation renowned restaurateur, Dominick Purnomo, the intimate, elegant split level dining room is has recently gone through a renovation modernizing the dining room now elegantly appointed with neutral colors, bronzed mirrors, a large fireplace, crystal chandelier, and floral displays. An innovative menu of blending French Technique, Asian Influence & American Ingredients pays homage to the rich culinary history of founding Chef Yono Purnomo. Managing partner & sommelier Josh Turo offers a wine list with some 1000 labels representing every major wine growing region in the world. Let the Yono's 4 star service staff anticipate your needs, while you experience the luxury and elegance of a bygone era.

Located adjacent to Yono's, is dp An American Brasserie, a decidedly more casual alternative. www.dpbrasserie.com

Going to Yono’s is always a dining experience. The most recent dinner was a fundraiser for the Jacques Pepin Foundation. The dinner was prix fixe with wine pairings. This was an evening that the kitchen was truly singing and the wine pairings were classic and spot on. No matter when you go to Yono’s you will walk away sated and smiling.

Caesar salad unexpectedly was hot and spicy and consisted of two thin spires of Romaine lettuce festooned with a sauce that was so full of peppery spice that it was inedible. The duck that I had was decorative but scanty, and came with 3 split brussel sprouts. My partner asked for well cooked scallops. She received three and the accompanying Polenta was also incredibly spicy and inedible. The champagne by the glass was meagerly poured until we objected.. As a result my partner had to send hers back and so that we could make it to the symphony she ended up missing her supper.

We went for the whiskey tasting dinner and it was a wonderful experience! The food was incredible as always and service top notch. It was a little louder than usual in there but I think everyone was having a good time sampling the whiskeys and asking questions. Yonos is always a must go!

Seated us with another party at the same table. They were excellent dinner guests but were off put by the double seating as well. I would’ve rather have gone for a regular dinner than for the whiskey tasting. Thought the whiskey tasting would’ve been a fun addition to the night but I think it took away from experience we were looking for. Again, no where in the description was it mentioned that we would be seated with other couples especially since this was supposed to be a date night. Dinner was very subpar for the price paid. Main course was not great. Extremely fatty brisket, lean parts were dry and the beans were very undercooked and by the looks of everyone’s plates around us they agreed. Might come back again just not sure. Left with more complaints than compliments.
