User Reviews for Yanni's Greek Taverna
10/03/2008 Posted by mourlamou
I have dined at Yanni's several times and usually enjoy the meals. The food is overpriced for "Greek Food" yet we continue to go because of the lack of descent greek establishments in town. We noticed hair in one of our meals, notified the waiter, and to our surprise, nothing was said or done. We were not sure if the owner was aware of this, but that basically turned us off to coming back! Not so much of an OPA that night. Oh well.... next!
Pros: Descent food
Cons: service and price of what you get

I usually do not post reviews, but I had to post one for Yanni's after reading a few recent bad reviews. My wife and I had gone to Yanni's a couple of years ago and loved it. My in-laws were coming in town and we were eager to take them to Yanni's (my wife and her parents are Greek). Then I read some bad reviews on CitySearch and got nervous, thinking, "Did something change?". Pleasantly, nothing had changed. It was as good as we remembered. Yanni himself greeted us at the door, seated us and was very nice. Our waitress (who we found out from conversation was Yanni's cousin) was prompt to our table and pleasant. Water and bread arrived at our table quickly. Soon Yanni was back at our table with 4 shots of Ouzo (on the house of course, Opa!) From appetizer (we got the sampler..so good) to entree (we had pastisio, gyro platter, and lamb from the bbq-spit) everything was great and delicious. The atmosphere was lively for a restaurant in a sleeply little strip mall. The staff was attentive and friendly. My in-laws (again Greek) were very impressed by the food and service. As we left, Yanni waved to us farewell from behind the bar. For a great Greek meal from a family own restaurant, you have to go out of your way to Yanni's. It is the best we have found in Denver. My wife and I will be back again for sure.
Pros: Food is delicious and authentic. Service is great.
Cons: Slightly expensive. Not bad though.
