User Reviews for Yanni's Greek Taverna

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.

I go out to dinner often and this dining experience was the worst experience I have ever had. The food was good but way over priced and is not worth coming back for. The service was horrible; we were completely ignored and had a waitress who rolled her eyes at us as if we were inconveniencing her. Once the food was delivered to the table the waitress tossed the plates on the table and never even returned to see if everything was ok or if we needed anything else. We actually had to grab anther server to get anther over priced drink. Then to top off the evening and end our night out we were asked to hurry it up because there were other guest waiting. With all of the other excellent dinning choices in Denver, I will never return and will make sure to let others know about my bad experence.
