   As always, Johnny’s was packed and a bit noisy…people know a good thing when they experience it, and keep coming back! While our table for two was in the bar, making it a less than ideal because every time the door opened it got chilly, the food and service (thanks, Natalie) more than made up for it. My tender mussel appetizer in a delicious butter sauce was wonderful, and my husband’s veal stuffed banana peppers were outstanding, as always. I opted for a simple grilled veal chop (very good!), and my husband loved his potato encrusted grouper. We asked for help in selecting a wine to go with both of our dinners, and the suggested bottle was the perfect accompaniment to our meals. We will be back soon!

   Great place as it has been for years. New server struggled a bit and was slow. I guess in today’s world that is not uncommon anymore.

   The menu has changed quite a bit and is not as varied as it once was. Having said that, the food we did order was great! Didn’t love that we ordered a Pinot - not in stock; ordered a different Pinot - also not in stock. Their suggested alternative was fine but not what we were hoping to have. Server was great!

    Thank took my boyfriend out to celebrate his birthday. We have been to Johnnys once before, and remembered how excellent the food was. We were not disappointed. We love the veal stuffed peppers. The red sauce here is excellent, and they give you plenary of it, which is great for dipping your bread in. Both of our meals were perfect, as was the wine and the service.

    Terrific food ,drinks and service. Unfortunately the prices on some dishes, like steaks, went up a lot; and some portions on some other dishes seemed to have shrunk —somewhat to compensate for inflation. It remains a terrific restaurant. .

    The only reason I didn't give the Food a 5-star rating is that one of my sausage-stuffed banana peppers didn't have the spicy seeds removed, which caused me to choke and lose my breath for almost a minute because of the great heat. My guest was somewhat concerned at seeing me in distress. So, I guess I'd ask that the kitchen staff ensure they remove the spicy seeds from their banana pepper appetizer so another patron doesn't experience the intense heat and breathing difficulties I endured for a somewhat frightening few minutes.

    Absolutely fantastic! Johnny’s is that neighborhood gem! Never disappoints. We’ve been enjoying dinners here for more than 10 years. We had a party of 6 for a Friday night dinner. Great service…incredibly welcoming…what true service is all about! Can’t wait for our next time at Johnny’s on Fulton.

    Food is exceptional. Wine selection very good and the owner often has a suggestion rather than the. $150 bottle of silver oak that is better and less expensive.

    We had a wonderful experience at Johnny’s bar. Natalie was amazing. We shared stories around the table and talked Natalie through out evening. They situated our table to be more accommodating and we simply had a great meal. The food was fantastic and the service was spot on. We shared the front room with three groups. Tee inter Ted with the other parties shared stories and drinks and desert. A truly memorable evening ! Well done !

    Phenomenal time had by all! Kelly our waitress is just the best! Great personality and humor! We had a blast! The 2 linguini with clams ordered were very much enjoyed. The 1 shrimp pasta putanaise was just okay at best. Would not recommend it. The pasta was so chewy and overcooked as it sat beneath very hot cheesy creamy sauce. The cayenne sauce and shrimp were excellent. Just the state of the pasta was no good. The cocktails wine and environment made up for it. Would go back again!

    Food was delicious, menu was limited. We don’t eat veal, because, you know. There were like 4 or 5 menu options with veal. Chef could probably be creative with other protein choices. Restaurant was out of still water, which was odd.

    Our server Ashley was superb. She made great recommendations and knew about all the entrees. She was very efficient and checked on us several times if we needed anything. My veal was a little too done for me, but had good flavor. Since we are from Florida where the hurricane hit our exact area, I was very stressed and concerned for our home. But the evening gave me a chance to relax.
