We have loved dining at Johnny’s for the past several years. Never have we been disappointed. From the care that Beau takes in greeting his guests, to the wait service who is always attentive and knowledgeable, to the food and wine itself…it’s a night of excellence and reason to celebrate. (Many thanks for the wine choice!) the only thing good about leaving is knowing, that God willing, we will be back. Thanks Beau, Heath and everyone! Peace!

As usual Johnny’s on Fulton was amazing. Service was top notch but also friendly. Our only issue was one entree was ordered medium and it was pretty rare requiring it to go back to the kitchen leaving our guest plate less for several minutes. Long bone veal chop with mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes is my go to item and did not disappoint! We went at prime time on a Saturday evening so the restaurant was packed and a bit loud.

We have been there before, and it never disappoints. This time was a birthday celebration for my wife and friends who had never been. Her steak was great, mine was, in my opinion, better. Our friends loved it. A good night for all.

The service and food were fantastic, however my husband and I were seated next to a very loud party of 8 who were yelling while conversing for our entire meal....it totally washed away the experience that we were hoping for to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

We chose Johnnys as our son in laws 30th birthday. They ran out of both the appetizer and main dish that two of our party ordered. The waitress reassured us that the replacement dishes would be prepared the same and they were not. Both Lamb dishes were superb, however, the steaks were sub-par at best. They weren’t cooked to order. Both were ordered medium- one was extremely undercooked, I would say raw, and the other was well done, and similar to a leather baseball mit. Overall, the experience was mediocre at one of Cleveland’s “top restaurants”.

We went out to dinner with my wife, her sister, her sisters boyfriendon a Saturday night. We had 8 PM reservations. The restaurant has such a old school charm. The food was excellent and the wine selection was amazing. We started out with a round of cocktails. For appetizers, I had the stuffed calamari which was absolutely tasty. It was different from most Calamari and that it was served whole and stuffed. It was not deep-fried. My sister in law and her boyfriend had the buratta and that was quite good too. For my main entrée, I ordered the long bone veal chop which was absolutely tender. My wife had the Cornbread dusted Wallete which wasalso tasty. My sister-in-law had the veal Parmesan which was some the best that I tried. Overall the food was delicious and I would definitely recommend this for special night,
