Yianni's, Chatham NY

Had a small family get together for dinner. Everyone enjoyed the meal, the decor and the service. Will definitely plan a return visit

Went in to order food to go the waitress was super helpful and nice there was live music the atmosphere was fantastic the food was great the fried chicken is amazing potatoes are great the beef tips were a bit fatty disappointed about that but would go back to try other things

Yianni’s has the best location in Chatham and due to that has the most potential. Live in the area and never go there because every time the food is terrible. Decided to give it a try again tonight, couldn’t even eat the food because it was that bad and the bill was over $100. Oh and one of the workers was standing around the corner smoking cigarettes as guests sat on the deck with children.

Here are a few pointers:
Specialize in one area, you could cut your menu by 90%.
Catch up with the times. Offer quality beer and wine rather than generic offerings.
If you want to compete with the other restaurants on Main Street, buy quality ingredients. If it sits in the freezer for 6 months, it might not be good to serve.

Awful experience all around. Went for a fancy seafood dinner, only to be informed they were out of oysters. We had also called ahead asking about the escargot appetizer, told they had it, but they did not upon our arrival. We ordered a few dishes to try - steamed clams (broth was pure salt but clams were tasteless), Ceasar salad (dressing too acidic and burnt tongue), mussels in spicy chorizo sauce (broth was good, but mussels had no flavor and it seemed as though the broth was poured in. No chunks or chorizo or anything), and crab and lobster stuffed tilapia.this was the worst. Tilapia was bland and white, obviously not stuffed - too thin a fish, mashed potatoes were clumpy and flavorless. The food was just abysmal. On top of that we had a wobbly table, a rude waitress, and the rolls that come complementary were hard and cold. We will NOT be returning.

We ate Yianni’s for the first time after attending a show at the MacHaydn Theater. The restaurant was not full at the time we were seated. When we were seated, it took quite awhile to receive our drinks. The food was very good - my wife and I both ordered one of the specialties for the night: shrimp risotto. It was very good. Our chief complaint was the slowness of the staff serving the drinks and dinner. When we were ready to leave it took an inordinate amount of time to get the waitress’s attention and request our check. I gave the rating four stars because I did not want take away the quality of the food because of the service.

Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I have only been there once so unsure of their consistency.but with that being said dinner was excellent! Went with a friend and we both left there saying we want to go again with our significant others

First time going to yianni's and Chatham. I was there for a friend of mine 70th surprise birthday party The waitresses were pleasant, did an excellent job. The food was superb. I really enjoy the salmon. It was cooked perfect. Very tasty the bar. Good company too. Nice bartenders. Very friendly and he atmosphere was a nice warm place to go to. I would definitely have to come back for dinner on my own and I recommend to anyone as well worth the trip

Excellent food, excellent portions, prices, and service from Winter, Haven, Michelle & especially Lenny.

The dining room looked beautiful when we walked in but we chose to eat in the tavern side. Maybe that's where we went wrong. The table was not clean and there was food on the floor, a bad start.

Wait staff a bit slow, especially clearing and getting the check. Spring mix salad was fresh but bland dressing and I enjoyed the trout almondine, however the veggies were tough as was my wife's chicken Marsala.
