    The food was fantastic as always. The highlight was really the staff. One of my members has a severe food allergy. They made sure everybody was aware, they let us know what was allergy friendly, and updated us as they found out more info. They helped make the experience easy. Will absolutely be back soon!!

    Our food was simply on the low side of average. The salad was bland, the chicken wings dry, and the fried Brussels sprouts so very charred. The best was the dipping sauce for the bread. Would we go back? Probably not.

    Ruby was our server and was friendly, kind, and professional, as always! Our food was prepared exactly as requested. Another great evening that was much appreciated after the end of a difficult week.

    I’ve been living here for three years and just now tried Johnnys for the first time this past weekend. I enjoyed my experience very much. The fried brussel sprouts were delicious, highly recommend trying those. I ordered the Braised Short rib with mushroom risotto, I felt that it was lacking flavor, but the meat was cooked fabulously making the dish still very tasty. My partner ordered the Rare Tuna sandwich, this was one of the best tuna sandwiches I’ve ever had. Definitely isn’t your typical tuna sandwich, it’s very much more of an Asian / sushi version, but totally hit the spot and had many delectable flavors in just one small sandwich. Overall, we had a lovely experience and I will definitely be going back for seconds as soon as possible!!

    Wonderful space. Great staff. We were in a hurry to get to a last minute event and they accommodated us. One of our party had wings and loved them. Two of our party had chicken sandwiches and said they were delicious. I ordered a medium rare burger which came thoroughly well done. Out side order of fries was limp and barely lukewarm. The salads were overdressed so get dressing on the side. If we had more time I would have sent my meal back and I am sure they would have accommodated me.
