    So nice when the city empties out for the summer and you can easily get a table at places like Yefsi. Still high quality delicious food at non-insane prices after all of these years and the pandemic etc.

    The food is very authentic. The Portokalopita superb and the Chateau Julia wine exceptional. Wish the music playlist had more of a happy Greek twist.

    It seemed like they were very rushed and clearing things before we were finished. Also, they told us that the kitchen was closing so we need to hurry up and order anything else we wanted.

    Finally made our way to this delicious restaraunt. We are fairly new residents on the upper east side and Had heard such good things. Did not disappoint. From the time we were greeted by the lovely hostess to our warm and attentative waitress, the appetizer and entrees were excellent. Every request was met. We will surely be frequenting more often. Thank you for a lovely night out.

    Yefsi never fails. The menu is great with a large variety and the Greek food is delicious. It’s a mellow atmosphere which is nice for a night out in the neighborhood and you don’t have to scream over other people to hear your company. The back room is very pretty as well. The staff is attentive, and very friendly.

    Yefi has great food. I’ve been here a few times and I’ve never been disappointed. The waiters are all great. Very efficient and friendly. Love the atmosphere in the garden Last time I was there it was my birthday and I was given a lovely parfait. Love this place!

    the restaurant was very warm, but otherwise we had a great experience! perhaps slightly overpriced, but would be a great place to come for a drink and a couple appetizers to share.
