USA TODAYDestinations & DiversionsFriday, March 8, 2002 Des Moines Yanni's Grill & Vineyard,2800 University Ave., Clock Tower Square,515-309-4006; Mediterranean inspired. "There's a warmth and charm about Yanni's Grill & Vineyard that's refreshing. Faux grapes, cheerfully painted booths and splashes of colors you don't see around here too often (sunny yellow, bright-sea blue, white-washed white) imbue the rooms with a cheerful and simple Mediterranean motif... All entrees come with salad, and the choice is an easy one: Go Greek - the Greek-style here brings imported olives, tangy feta and a zippy homemade vinaigrette. ... Steak de Burgo fans should take note of Yanni's version. Good, tender, steak sits in a pool of heady, rich and buttery sauce, but the standout here is the topping - a handful of fresh herbs and mushrooms and a bracing hint of fresh garlic bits. ... The bottom line about Yanni's is that the atmosphere is charming, the price is right and a few tweaks here and there will make this cute little place a clear standout among the super-sized restaurants nearby." Entrees: $3.95 - $16.95. - W.E. Moranville, The Des Moines Register
