    Per usual, always a perfect experience dining at Johannes. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted and attended to by a wonderful staff of restaurant professionals. They are all kind, engaging and helpful. Johannes has been the top of my list of favorite Palm Springs Restaurants! Their consistency in creating a wonderful atmosphere and dining experience is second to none. And the food... Last night we had the Special Salad Appetizer: a Won-ton Salad with Arugula, Peaches, which was both interesting and a delight. Johannes specialty remains their Schnitzel. I love Veal Schnitzel, and I'm always indecisive about which version to select! Tonight two of us chose the Jäger version with the Wild Mushroom Bacon Red Wine Sauce, Roasted Parslied Fingerling Potatoes, Cucumber In Dill Sour Cream Dressing, Cranberry Jelly and Lemon. Johannes veal is always tender and their various sauces wonderful. I think I've tried all of them, which makes it difficult to decide which one I'm going to choose each time I dine there. Thank you to Chef Johannes Bacher and the staff for making every dining experience one that brings me back again and again and again!

    Always an overall great experience at Johannes. They pay attention to every detail. The food is some of the best and most interesting in PS, and the waitstaff members are always on their mark. Their cocktails are the quality of a craft cocktail bar. Obviously, I love Johannes, but once you try it, you will become regulars as well.

    This is the 25th anniversary for the restaurant. And we’ve actually been coming since the beginning. And each and every time the bar is raised. Everything is wonderful. It is truly in our mind. The best fine dining experience in Palm Springs bar none!
