The decor is stunning! Whether you sit in the library, main dining room, or speakeasy in the basement, you feel like you are back in the 1920s with cool artwork and stunning light fixtures. Portions are small but oh so tasty. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel special. Great experience!

Yvonne's is an insanely popular spot in downtown, but I just can't say it deserves all the hype. It's a beautiful spot for sure, and the manager was very attentive and humorous upon learning it was our friend's birthday. The dining area is huge; besides the main room and bar, there's a 'library' room and second area in the back. On a Tuesday night every inch was packed (with twenty-something-year-old finance bros from down the street lol). I can't imagine how it must be on a weekend, so definitely make a reservation if you're not just coming for drinks. From sashimi to espresso martinis, to flatbreads and chops, everything was beautiful and tasty. As someone who focuses on the flavor of the ingredients, however, nothing blew my mind to the point of being memorable or worth its price-tag. Yvonne's remains the quintessential downtown spot for girls' nights, birthdays, first dates, etc. and to my knowledge shares management with Ruka, Lolita, and Mariel, all in a one mile radius. Though they are all beautiful restaurants, with an American/slanted take on a different cuisine each, you're not going to find anything radically different at any of them - in fact I might like some others more than Yvonne's. For my personal taste, it was far too busy and noisy to be enjoyable. And like its decor, the dishes were beautiful, but lacked substance.

It's fine u guess. They didn't believe my friends out of state ID and told us they didn't have to accept outside state licenses. They proceeded to bend it almost in half. It snapped in half about a week later. They think they're in New York. Umm newsflash people are doing drug deals about 30 feet from your door. In fact I was physically assaulted outside on winter street after leaving there. The front girls are so snobby like they have any reason to be. You're in hospitality girlie pops wake up. Wouldn't go. Avoid. It's overpriced and they think for some unknown reason that they're super exclusive and cool. They aren't.

Cute place with good service. It's a little pricy and the portions are small, but if you're looking for fun cocktails and cool vibes, this place is a good choice.

Wow, what a VIBE! We hosted our team dinner here last night and it was a hit. The vibe and decor are so cute. It actually looks way better in person than in photos. The chairs and furniture are all high quality. Super dark and sexy inside. The only downside is it's super loud inside, so it's hard to hear anyone besides the person right next to you. Food was excellent. We came with a large group so we got to try everything. Nothing disappointed, but the favorites of the night were the tator squares and the kimchi fried rice with 24 hr. pork So well made! The service is where they lose a star. It was so horrible. They never brought serving utensils for any of the shared plates. When we would ask for serving utensils, they would bring ones that didn't match the food. For example, bringing huge forks for us to serve the kimchi fried rice. Or huge spoons to serve the salad. We always had to keep waiving someone down. Lucky i was there w/ the group and I was assertive in flagging folks down, but if it was just my leadership team dining there, it would be a horrible experience for them. Dinner was really inexpensive for the quality we received and all the drinks we drank, We will be back for sure!

Horrible place to go to, period. Food = bad, drinks = bad, service = bad. Cannot figure out how this place is rated so high. If you like good food, this place is a big NO.

Great food, excellent wines, friendly staff, and nice interior (questionable paintings, but they don't hurt the vibes). Each tapas-like dish is still big enough to be shared by 4 people. 7 wine-friendly items from the menu were enough food for four of us.
Wow! Everything about this Yvonne's was immaculate - the food, beverages, service, atmosphere - the lot!We'll definitely be back for my next birthday celebration if not before!

Very unique dining experience! My partner and I had dinner there last night and loved it. What an unusual restaurant with interesting dishes and an incredible visual setting. The service was outstanding and was absolutely wonderful and so personable. She enhanced our experienced in that I didn't anticipate getting any better after basking in the wonderful decor and experiencing the phenomenal dishes! Highly recommend. We will be coming back!
