   We had the pleasure of a relaxed and delicious dinner, we were welcomed by Mao the mgr and served by Anna… both were very kind and checked back with us multiple times to make sure we were enjoying our experience. We had the Happy Hour Hummus spreads and Whipped Harissa Feta spread, both were delicious and came with fresh vegetables and warm pita. For dinner we had the deboned chicken and kebab chicken, which were incredible. We will return for sure….thank you Mao and Anna.

   Good vibes, good food but small portions and service was lacking. Waiter didn’t offer dessert but instead just brought the check

   I had read pros and cons and didn't expect the food to be outstanding. The menu was very limited and the choices were very predictable...nothing outstanding or unusual . I felt that the food was nothing special, it was not especially seasoned well and flavors were not really defined, They brought 2 items that we did not order to our table and then included it on our check. It is probably a good place for a drink and apps and then move on if you have to be in that area. There are so many other Middle Eastern/ Mediterranean restaurants in the city that are better to choose from.

   It’s only been open since December, so not many reviews about Yasemi yet. Yes, it’s part of a corporate restaurant group, but this Mediterranean concept works. Also, it’s connected to the Godfrey hotel, so maybe it’s average hotel food? Not at all. This was a pleasant surprise. Staff was attentive and the food was flavorful and plentiful. Menu selections are not extensive, which means they do those items well. House made pita bread baked in their own hearth. They have pizzas at lunch from the oven as well. Grilled octopus was a treat and we split the tomato salad. Don’t hesitate to book a table here.

   The place is aesthetically pleasing. The drinks are OK but the food was subpar

    I was a single diner at dinner as my friend had to cancel. I was only able to try a few things. I had the Heirloom Tomato Salad, Pork Kebabs and the Whole Aegean Bronzini which were all delicious. They have an interesting cocktail menu with unusual twists. The service was good and the ambience is light and airy. I would like to return and try other items on the menu.
