Adorned with a top-of-the-line, custom designed Meyer sound system, a 1998 Steinway 9' Concert D grand piano, state-of-the-art lighting, an unparalleled breadth and quality of programming, and the calming effect of the elegant Japanese design with its simple curves and soft tones, Yoshi's is an extremely inviting in a smoke-free environment.
