    From the start, we were welcomed and had a lovely experience. The ambiance, the service and food were excellent. As my husband was finishing his apre's drink; we discussed what a pleasant experience it had been. Until, the maitre d' then came over and asked us to vacate the table as he had a "table waiting". We had already paid and we getting up to leave anyways, however, his manner in which he told us certainly closed the experience on a sour note and definitely was not classy nor elegant in manner. Time-perspective A hour and 30 mins for 3 courses and apre's drinks/coffees

    Always a treat to eat here. Love our waitress Barrie (sp?) you is the best! Great olive w/ blue cheese martini's mad from scratch and the food always good. One of us had the Duck which not only looked amazing but was. Halibut was yummy and the caper and lemon chicken or veal (your choice) was wonderful. Never disappoints.

    Johannes never disappoints! From the delicious cocktails to the dessert, and especially with amazing appetizers, dinner is a real treat. The staff, and especially Barrie (so?), is attentive, friendly, and professional. Whenever we were in the desert, we make sure we include Johannes in our dining plans.

    The schnitzels are exceedingly good. The online menu gives you an idea of the range but it’s hard to ignore the nightly specials announced at tableside. The chilled cucumber avocado soup was incredible. The desserts not overly sweet.

    Our first experience here after a few friends recommended. The food and drinks were excellent. It is not easy to find good European food. The service was very professional and the decor and ambiance are very nice too. Definitely recommend.
