    Excellent food and great presentation. Very relaxing dining and good service. The Jäger Schnitzel was cooked perfectly and loved the roasted potatoes and cucumber salad. The apple strudel reminded me of Mutter’s apple strudel.

    After one outstanding visit and one mediocre one, we decided to give Johannes a third visit. Unfortunately, this mimicked the mediocre visit. The service was the biggest disappointment, as drinks took up to 10 minutes to receive, menus were never delivered (or specials reviewed until we promoted when asked if we were ready to order), and appetizers being delayed due to a slow kitchen. The food was good overall, with the exception of the scallop ms which were rubbery. I can’t justify spending $370+ tip for 3 people when the experience is so meh.
