The actual filler was very good and extremely tasty. Side salad was delicious and the fries were very nicely seasoned and crispy. The restaurant was busy for a wednesday evening, but my party of 4 were seated quickly. The place was very cute and colorful, but the noise level was extremely high. I could barely hear the person across the table from me. The music was very loud which caused all the parties there to start screaming over it to talk to each other. Food was quick to come and the drinks were very delicious. Prices are reasonable for the food itself. Staff were quick and friendly with us as well. This is a place i'd recommend and go back to, maybe at a less busy time tho.

Elevating the sandwich was a baked egg, firm but custardy interior and the side of sriracha syrup. Less than a mile off of 91 on our way to Trillium Canton for our son's 30th birthday celebration! Worthy of a detour.

You expect, like the other establishments in the plaza, to find a small cafe style restaurant. When you walk in, you are surprised with fun decor and spacious dining area.

Fries are crispy and price on point. Every meal I've had there has been great! The only downside is table service during lunch is very slow. So make sure you have a full hour to burn if you go for lunch.

Generally kind of dirty feeling. Bathroom is not super clean, and the hand soap dispenser still doesn't work as in someone else's previous post.

Not sure how ppl can rate the pizza highly when you have such stellar examples of what great pizza actually tastes like not too far away in New Haven. It's strip mall pizza. Don't go in expecting high quality food. But, yeah, the guy at the counter was super nice, and that counts for something in my book.

The first time, I went with a friend and ordered the lobster ravioli. While eating it, I started feeling nauseous and ended up returning the dish to the server. The next day, my friend contacted me and told me that she had become very sick after eating the separate dish she had ordered. I can't say for certain what caused either of us to feel sick, but the experience definitely left me concerned. I decided to give Yanni's another chance because I've always enjoyed going there. Unfortunately, my second experience was also disappointing. I went with my girlfriend and we ordered a meat lovers pizza. The crust had what tasted like a stale/refrigerated flavor, and the crust itself was noticeably different from what I was used to getting from Yanni's. My girlfriend also thought the pizza was terrible and told me we shouldn't go back. That's what makes this so disappointing. This used to be a reliable go-to spot for me, so having two bad experiences back-to-back makes me wonder if something has changed. I really hope the restaurant looks into the consistency and quality of the food because I'd much rather be able to recommend Yanni's again.

So then I tried the white sangria and that was very good . For happy hour they offer an option of different sliders ( 1 for $6 for HH) I tried the chicken slider which was amazing highly recommend my friends loved the caprese and the regular beef sliders all were amazing can't go wrong . I personally don't recommend the HH pizza it's just too small I recommend just getting the regular size honestly . The chips for happy hour are great for sharing they give you plenty for just $3 ! Overall great time , good service ( though it did take a little while to get our food ) , great atmosphere ( and on weekend they do have a Dj at night which is fun )
