Over time, we grew into a full-service kitchen, specializing in premium seafood and steaks, always paired with the perfect wine.

Dining at Yiannis is an immersive experience—our wine-cellar-style space is lined floor to ceiling with exceptional bottles. Whether for an intimate dinner or lively gathering, our fine dining atmosphere and warm hospitality make every visit special.

Led by Head Chef Ben Field, our award-winning kitchen serves top-quality dishes, including our First Place-winning She Crab Soup (2024). With GM & Sommelier Chris Gray and CEO Josh Fisher curating unforgettable pairings, Yiannis offers wine dinners, tastings, and more. Join us and discover Virginia Beach’s best fine dining.

Very happy with our visit to Yiannis! The food from start to finish was excellent. The server helped us choose a delicious reasonably priced bottle of wine. We highly recommend Yiannis. The atmosphere is as casual or dressy as you would like. Intimate bar area. Plenty of parking! We will definitely plan another visit soon.

Yiannis is a restaurant that truly awakens your taste buds. We visited on a Tuesday for their “Burgers and Bourbon” special and were blown away by the Dry Aged Wagyu Burger topped with bacon jam. The flavor was unmatched, and knowing the patties are freshly ground from wagyu chuck—not frozen—made it even better. We had the chance to speak with the owner, Yiannis, who shared his passion for the process, and it’s clear his dedication pays off. The bourbon and wine selection is one of the best we’ve encountered in Virginia Beach. Coming from Northern California, where food and spirits are part of our culture, Yiannis made us feel right at home with his exceptional offerings and warm hospitality.
Yiannis Wine and FoodResponded on January 15, 2025
Christopher, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that our Dry-Aged Wagyu Burger with bacon jam left such an impression, and it’s wonderful to know that our dedication to quality shines through. We’re also glad that Yiannis had the chance to connect with you and share his passion for what we do. It means the world to us that you felt right at home!

We enjoyed everything from ambiance to all the food and wine we ate. The lamb was amazing and it was cooked perfectly. We really enjoyed the charcuterie board. The paired white and red wine was very delicious. We will be back to try other dishes.
