For years Yono was the only Michelin star worthy restaurant within the Capital/Saratoga/Lake George region. It is still excellent, but since the operations have been handed over to the son of the proprietor, the service is not at the same level (except for the sommelier, who is excellent). The food is also just a slight notch lower, with one dish being over-salted and the tasting menu lacking some of the flair it used to possess. So, Yono is still a great restaurant, but unfortunately it is not at the world-class level it once was (we have eaten at numerous two and three star Michelin restaurants in Europe and the States, for the purpose of ethos).

This was our second time here. We went a little before our wedding to destress and again today for our 1st anniversary. We ended up doing the tasting menu with a wine pairing. Our sommelier, Josh, was so knowledgeable and friendly, and we can't say enough kind words about our server Kiara. Definitely recommend this to celebrate a special occasion!

We celebrated a wedding anniversary, and the staff all acknowledged it and made it feel like a special evening. We really liked our servers. Very friendly and relatable. The food was delicious - from the oysters to the fois gras to the cotes de boeuf were all terrific. The wine pairings were great. We'll be back.

The overly attentive servers, interrupted the conversation between my wife and I all night, asking " how everything was ". It became quite annoying. Although my Suckling Pig was very good, the pasta in the rabbit appetizer, that we shared. was very thick and overwhelmed the rabbit. My wife's Veal entree was served in cubes, which were tough and tasteless. Although the food presentation was very attractive, in the final analysis, it's the taste that matters Needless to say, this restaurant did not live up to it's ratings or our expectations.

We were there on a quiet mid-week night. Spouse & I shared the steak dinner for two which was excellent. Fingerling potatoes were perfectly cooked, maybe could have had more salt. The Brussels sprouts were just crispy enough and very flavorful. Staff was attentive and helpful but not obtrusive. Enjoyed a happy hour martini at the bar first. It was a great dining experience.

Had the tasting menu with pairing. Great wine choices. Excellent food. Personable service. It wad definitely a lot of food and drink but made for a very special evening.

Tried their tasting menu. Pretty unacceptable for fine dining. Food too salty. Service extremely slow. The technicality was also subpar. Feels like we've 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.

From the amazing service to the exceptional entrees. Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in the capital region!

The tasting menu flowed smoothly, from a delicate seafood starter to a perfectly cooked venison entrée. Each plate felt intentional and well-balanced, while the service struck that fine line between polished and personable, making the evening feel special without stiffness.
