One of our go-to date night spots. Sometimes we'll do happy hour or get reservations for the dining room. The service has always been great! We typically go for the fish dishes, but everything they make is amazing. Try the grilled octopus tail!
Greek cuisine A+ Presentation A+ Service A++++ We plan on returning a 100 times. I can't say enough of this place.
Overall, a great time with family and awesome food. Courteous staff. Calm and serene.
This was my first visit and I'm only sorry it's taken me so long to go! The decor was beautiful, the live music was a nice surprise. The food was fantastic -- went with friends, we had the spanikopita appetizer and village salad which were amazing, by far the best that I've ever had. I had pastistio for the first time as well as the galaktoboureko and I was blown away. John, our server, was absolutely wonderful, one of the best I've had anywhere. That man is a gem! Will definitely be back again.
The food is excellent! We used their catering service for our baptism. And the two people who delivered the food , Pina and Alex, actually stayed to help serve. I'm so grateful to them. They made our buffet table flow with ease. I highly recommend Yianni's! Great food and great employees with beautiful souls. Thank you Yianni's!
We had dinner out and a huge menu. Several Greek wines and cocktails. Everyone was satisfied with their drinks. Very refreshing. A few non alcoholic drinks for those doing dry January. We also had sword fish Slovakia, these delicious taverna chips and spin. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. Overall very good meal. They stay busy and got us in and out. Probably a good idea to make reservation.
I was in town visiting and chose a random place to eat dinner . I'm so glad I made that choice because this place was amazing ! Food and service 10/10 . I had the octopus appetizer and the mushroom pasta , both were flavorful and the pasta was cooked to perfection . The atmosphere was so cute and romantic . Their drinks were delicious too and I can't wait to come back and try other things !
A true gem in Bethlehem! Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing service!! The place is spotless, including the men's room! The service was impressive, the food was awesome. 100% 5 stars. Check out the pics!
The food was good. The service was great, and the ambiance was nice. The only drawback to this great restaurant was its parking which is a bit tricky outside. I would recommend you park across the street and walk over.
This restaurant is beautiful and we enjoyed a festive atmosphere while dining here. Roasted half chicken was good. Brussel Sprouts served as a side were very good. Placed an order for tzatziki to eat with rice pilaf. One of the managers came by few times to make sure everything was going well.
