    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!

    We come to Palm Springs several times a year and our trip wouldn’t be complete with dinner at Johannes Alway a Weiner Schnitzel which is mire than enough as the portions are huge. See you in a few weeks!

    Johannes never disappoints. If you have not dined I suggest you dine at Johannes. If you like Schnitzel Johannes is Austrian and his Schnitzel is authentic. Located in downtown Palm Springs on Indian Canyon and Arenas. The menu has many choices plus specials every night.
