    We’ve wanted to go but never have until last evening. Not desperate to go back anytime soon but it was alright. For the price point the service could have been better and the servers could be dressed better. Our server was looking a bit disheveled. Sat outside which was fine. Had the Ahi Stack and it was good. I had the wagyu beef patty plate which was serviceable. Our anniversary was mentioned at the beginning but never again. And if you bring espresso to table bring sugar with it regardless so there no waiting… Best part was leaving my wallet at the table and the wonderful host meeting me on the sidewalk with it as I walked back.

    Terrific food option in Downtown Palm Springs. Nice to venture away from typical cuisine found on most menus. The Spaetzle and Schnitzel dishes were prepared perfectly. Great wine list including wonderful Austrian whites. Service was attentive and professional.

    The first miss we’ve had at Johannes. Food was solid, but surprising number of service screw ups - one of our mains came after the other main, wine came after entrees - no urgency to fix or remedy, no bill consideration or even an apology. Disappointing from a place that’s always been tremendous.
