Description:
From the Times Union review: Having the Purnomo menu -- which includes wife Donna's exquisite baking -- available again brightens Albany's improving dining scene all the more. Having son Dominick, the maitre d'/sommelier, in an enhanced role has done more than one might suspect. The gregarious 20-something, an honored wine expert beyond his tender years, has put together a 600-label wine list that rivals any. He's continually on the move, welcoming a patron here, overseeing the team service there, yet continually making people feel as if he's totally absorbed in their individual experience alone. From the spare-chic 80-seat space and gleaming bar of DP: An American Brasserie (the initials are Dominick's) into which patrons enter to the lush 60-seat, bi-level Yono's dining room in the rear, this is an elegant operation. Ah, but what about the food? If you must ask, you've never experienced Yono's handiwork. He has taken to calling it French in style, Asian in influence and American in ingredients. I still call it Indonesian and continental. Indonesian food is not Chinese, it is not Indian, it is not Japanese. Yes, it has touches of all those -- as well as of Dutch and Portuguese from the East Indies' colonial days -- but it is largely its own cuisine that springs from the diversity of plant and sea life that fill the cooking pots of such islands of myth and musicals as Java, Bali, Borneo, Sumatra and Sulawesi.
