Over priced. Service was OK. They sat is in an area then came and told us we'd have to be done eating at a certain time to accommodate a party. It was less than an hour after w were seated. There were ants on the patio.
We had 3 different waiters in one sitting and it wasn't busy , we had to ask for things various times. The price point for the quality and authenticity of the food was way too high.
One of the best places for food and drink on the ranch! Friendly, great food, and not enough nice things can be said about Yanni and his staff. I highly recommend it and would be glad to go with you. Come hungry and thirsty. Great brews, a terrific wine list, and food that is over the top. We are very luck to have this place in our community.
Good food, location has easy parking. I had the chicken picatta, it was good!
They have a good selection of beer and wine. The service was okay. I was with a group of eight and we had to ask for refills on drinks more than once.
Atmosphere was good, not too loud inside. The outside seating area looked beautiful! I'll try that next time.
Memorable because nothing stood out! What I mean is that the service was great but not intrusive, the food was well prepared and tasty and the server was able to correctly split our check among four diners.
Let's start with being able to get a short notice reservation on a crowded Saturday evening. We were seated quickly after arrival and greeted by our server. I went with the drink special and the sea bass dinner special. Sea bass served with tomato, basil, kalamata olives over angel hair. Well prepared and very tasty. My dinner companions were equally happy with their choices of the chicken special and the chicken piccata.
Give Yanni's a try and I'm sure you'll be delighted!
Good food. Slow service. Everything was slow here. Getting drinks. Getting served. Getting check. A bit overpriced, $12-13 for mixed drinks. $6.50+ per beer. Not sure if I will go back.
Food is excellent! Had the lamb risotto, it did not disappoint. Seating in the main area is close together and can get loud. They have another area that is more intimate to dine in if you don't like the noise. We'll be back soon
Excellent restaurant to come visit if you are in San Diego or to celebrate anniversary like us. Amazing service by everyone in restaurant but specially by our server Tiffany. Extremely flavourful food. We ordered the lamb, chicken, and steak skewers. Lamb and chicken were our favorites. Great restaurant that we will keep in mind to come back again.
Love this place. My friends and I always celebrate our birthday lunches here. We have been going here for years. The Corfu sandwich is amazing! Yanni runs a fantastic restaurant. He is a nice guy.
Such an awesome restaurant! It is rare that my husband and I can enjoy every bite of every course. How can you go wrong with Italian and Greek food? Great wine selection, wonderful service, friendly staff and a beautiful restaurant. Great for date night, family dinners, large gatherings and happy hour. Looking forward to my next visit!
Been going to this place for many years, going back to the old location. Food and service are always awesome. One of the best restaurants in San Diego. Not just Poway.
I love the Lamb Caneloni and my wife loves the Corsica Salad.
Highly recommended!
We went early on Saturday evening, so the restaurant was not packed. It was their anniversary, so they had a special menu. Service was decent, the special salad was great, and my wife's sand dabs were also excellent. However, I ordered the Linguini Frutti di Mari with the "spicy tomato sauce", and I was extremely disappointed. The sauce was completely bland; no spice whatsoever. I asked the waiter about it, and he said that they keep the spiciness down to prevent complaints. If that's the case, then they should say so on the menu. He offered me some chili powder, but this type of dish should have more of an Italian spice mixture; chili powder just overwhelms the flavor of the seafood.
I hope that this is not typical of their menu; there are quite a few interesting dishes, and the restaurant is near our new home. Maybe the problem is the bland taste of people in San Diego? I would be interested in comments from other diners.
My wife and I dined at this restaurant last night and enjoyed our dinner immensely. The lasagna and salmon were excellent as was the service. Highly recommend Yanni's!
Hated it the first time. Hated it the second time. I ordered a margarita, which was not good, didn't finish it, because I felt unwelcome, since I wasn't even asked whether I wanted to leave the tab open. Was hoping to snag a place at the bar and order food. Left twisting in the wind. A putoffish vibe like they're doing you a favor. Never got a chance to try the food again. First time, the food was not good, though the service was very good.
Great food! Great atmosphere! Great service! When I arrived, there was a bottle of water on the table waiting for me. The server showed up within two minutes. Everyone is friendly and personable while remaining professional. One of the things I enjoy doing is trying to stump the server. Not happening here. They know the menu inside and out. I will definitely be back whenever I'm in town.
