    Wife ordered the 8oz filet, they asked if they could butterfly the steak which she agreed. It came to the table looking like shoe leather. Dry aged ribeye was decent but not for 86$. Overall the price did not reflect the quality.

    Food was quite good. Lobster biscuit a nice chunk of lobster in it, but the broth was a little blah. Two people had prime rib and that really didn’t seem like it was prime, a little chewy. Farroe Island salmon special was great. We will be back.

    It was my second time eating at Johnny D’s . We had great food and a lot of fun both times. The service was fantastic and the live piano entertainment was…well…entertaining.

    Everthing was perfect from our server to meeting and talking with the owner Chris. We were treated like family . Also if you like live music the piano music is fantastic.

    Johnny D’s has big shoes to fill. This version of E.B.’s is significantly better than the Morton’s mess. They have some interesting cocktails. The gin with botanicals and basil was amazing as was the daiquiri. The Lobster Bisque needs a little work, less smoky and more sherry. Oysters were so fresh you could still smell them the salt water. The French Dip was a huge sandwich, tender beef with loads of flavor and a fresh baguette. The shrimp and grips were fantastic. The grits were perfect - creamy and full of flavor with the NOLA butter. They need to serve it with a couple pieces of their delicious bread. The crepe dessert was delicious. Service was good. Food was well timed and piping hot. The menu has a lot of choices. It’s not all beef and more beef. Nice selections! Looking forward to returning soon.
