JohannesBest place to eat in Palm SpringsWe travel to PS every year and we have never missed going to Johannes. This is our favorite and best restaurant to eat at in PS. The food is absolutely the best and we have tried numerous items on the menu. The service is always great and they are very friendly. The ambience is very relaxing. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone that visits PS. A visit in PS without a stop at Johannes just wouldn't be the same. Johannes deserves 5 stars all across the board. All the food is great but my favorite item is the Escargot. This trip I also had the Wiener Schnitzel and it was delicious. Don't miss this wonderful restaurant!!5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious Dinner-great experience!I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in Palm Springs who appreciates good food and drinks. The Passion Fruit Mojito was amazing and the overall dining experience was well worth the price...5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMake a reservation!A very popular venue; so be sure to make a reservation! Great food & drink with a very lively dining room. The dining room can be very loud; so dining early or very late might be a good idea if you want a quiet dinner.
The servers are always courteous and knowledgeable - my only complaint; I've repeatedly experienced inconsistent service due to a lack of adequate coverage for the number of seated tables.
Many plate prices are a bit high; but the quality is excellent and portions are generous.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMSpecial eveningOrdered the wild Alaskan cod. Suberb!! Never had a better fish dinner!!!5/6/2013 12:00:00 AMOverwhelmingly WonderfulCould not have enjoyed this experience more! Everything from the initial greeting to our departure was perfection.

Don't miss it.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat place!We went as a group of 5 the other night. We started the evening out by running late & asking to sit outside. They were very happy to assist any way that they could. The service was fabulous & the staff is all very friendly. Our meals and martinis were delish too!
I would highly recommend dining here. It's always 5 stars!5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMSuperb Dining Experience!Perfection in all aspects!

Can't wait to come back here!4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMSupurb CuisineThe food is excellent. The sauces and accompanying condiments to the main courses are superbly favorable.4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMSecial occasion,a cousin'sSecial occasion,a cousin's 90th Bday, and he is restricted in the food he eats. We knew the restaurant could omit sauces, but we were impressed that it made up a side,roasted potatoes,and a sauce, lemon butter, that were not on the menu; easy enuf, but they were offered, served, and prepared perfectly. All of our dishes, including kangeroo that could substitute for tenderloin on anyone's menu, thick and crusted scallops, and moist and meaty halibut, were excellent; the corn soup with crab remarkable; the escargot out of shell in a garlic, herb sauce superb; and the least adventurous, cold duck breast as an appetizer, served over an ample helping of delicious lentils. Deserts were fine, esp. with HB in caramel sauce.

Our waiter (a Canadian from Montreal area) was so attentive to our group it was simply amazing. The best food we have had in the valley for a long time... Wiener Schnitzel are to die for. Sure would love to keep this place our little secret, but the word is out....3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMI had a great pre-birthdayI had a great pre-birthday celebration at Johannes. Love the ambiance and the service was impeccable. I had the tuna tartare and the ahi tuna entree and they were both very different and delicious. This was a fabulous meal in Palm Springs; I'm looking forward to returning.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMJohannes is among our favoriteJohannes is among our favorite spots in Palm Springs. The food is always excellent and the service is generally attentive without being over-bearing. We brought friends here and enjoyed an excellent meal. The only issue is that it can get quite loud in the front room when it is packed (as it was on this night). So conversations can get quite difficult when the restaurant is full. The other areas of the restaurant probably aren't affected as much by the noise. Be sure to order a cocktail when you visit - Lorena is one of the best in the city!3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMmy go-to place for one ofmy go-to place for one of the best weiner schnitzels i've ever had - however, all the food our group had was really wonderful3/17/2013 12:00:00 AMEvery year I go to Palm Springs.Every year I go to Palm Springs.
