This was for my husband‘s birthday, we walked in and for five minutes, could not find a server anywhere I walked around the hotel, which it was attached to, and finally, as I made my way back to my husband, a server walked up and seated us. We ordered an appetizer which was mushrooms stuffed with sausage, and I asked him because he recommended that maybe we get the French onion soup and he said no we didn’t want that, but they served that anyways to us and charged us which was good by the way. And then we ordered our dinner and my husband ordered a salad which came with his meal but they did not have French dressing or blue cheese dressing which they were out of. Which are is favorite. We ordered our drinks. He got a beer. I gotta margarita on the rocks and it was nothing but the margarita mix in the glass. It was a very heavily watered down with ice, and there was no alcohol hardly in it at all I could even taste it, but the mix very dissatisfying. The meal itself he got lasagna he said it was OK I got that chicken Parm with noodles and a sirloin steak with a Parmesan crusted top and it all tasted very well. It was good, but the server never even came back and asked us if we needed a refill or if we was OK until the very end when we flagged her down and told her we need to go box overall very disappointing and I even asked in my reservations if I could have a dessert saying happy birthday or I love you on any kind of dessert on a plate or some thing and never was received or even mentioned so I don’t know why I even had I made a reservations when I got in there, and there was only three people in the whole entire place. Highly Wouldn’t recommend and should have listened to the reviews before I made the reservation

The bar tender was the only server on a Saturday night. They ran out of strip steak at a steak house on a Saturday night we had to ask for napkins and silverware. I have told everyone I know not to go there the price is way too expensive for the food you do get and the service was awful.

Understaffed, over-priced food. It's part of a hotel (which we did not realize beforehand). Steak was okay, meatballs were good. Tiramisu was actually quite lovely. Probably would be great room service, not great as a steakhouse.

It took 3 separate tries to get all of the menus. The cocktails are extremely watered down. The Pepsi was flat. The ranch for the salad was was so thin it would barely hold on the lettuce. Paid for the filet upgrade to the heart of Italy combination but they still served the sirloin which was over cooked.(ordered medium) The Parmesan crusted New York strip (ordered medium rare) was also overcooked. The steaks were just atrocious and they must buy them at a deep discount. The risotto tasted like they used dirty dishwater to cook it. We didn’t get bread until after we were halfway done with entrees. The server seemed as though it was an inconvenience for us to have come in.

No ice tea no bourbon no veal Our order was in for awhile when we were informed they had no veal no discount either. I shared my steak Diane with my husband it had 2 little medallions and about 3 servings of potatoes. We wondered why we were the only people in the restaurant.

For a Mother's Day buffet, it was fairly well apportioned, and the seating arrangements were exemplary with plenty of space between guests an the next table. The offerings on the buffet itself were a bit underwhelming, but there was at least something that everyone present could partake of.

Open Table listed this restaurant as being at Easton which was a little misleading. It is actually in a hotel on Morse Road. We went for the Mother's day buffet so the food was not what you would typically get at this restaurant and was average at best. At one point they ran out of prime rib and the wait was for 30+ minutes for more to come out. The buffet seemed a bit unorganized (i.e. had to ask for napkins and silverware) and we dined in one of their meeting rooms so not much ambiance (black table cloths with salt and pepper-no candles or flowers) considering it was Mother's day. The servers were nice and kept the tables cleared but I was taken back by having a 20% tip auto added to our bill which the cost of buffet per person was already quite high for what was offered.

Showed up to Mother’s Day brunch to find out they were running behind maybe 15 minutes. It turned out to be 35-40 minutes. Food was good, but nothing special. No consideration was given for making us wait.

Amy, our server on Thu 4/27 was a one woman show: server, bartender, hostess. It wouldn't have surprised us if she had done the cooking, too. Amy juggled a lot. In spite of it, she was very nice, apologetic, moved her fastest to keep up and did her very best under extremely poor conditions: 2-3 staff members called off or no-showed. Amy may have been the manager but didn't refer to being such. Amy DESERVES A RAISE and Employee of the Month (probably the year)! Food was average. Sampler appetizer plate was enormous and mostly fried. Was enough for 4-5 people. It was ordered an an entree for one, not understanding how big it was. Would be nice if a sampler for one was an option as referenced for other items. Cavatappi with sausage was good. Chicken parmesan was OK, heavily breaded, lacked flavor and large enough to split between 2 or 3 depending on hunger level.

the steaks I tried were terrible.....almost impossible to cut and impossible to chew. The first one was small cuts of supposed tenderloin, but was tougher than the OSU defensive line. It was sent back. The second one was supposed to be some kind of bed tasting fillet, but it, too, was tough, chewy, and came without mushrooms that I ordered to go with it. Our server was pleasant and really tried to help, but the quality of the meat was not redeemable. Her inexperience was obvious, e.g., failing to replace silverware after it was used for one part of the meal like the house salad. The manager on duty Aug. 31 should have come to our table, to do something, for example "comp." my meal and - at the minimum - apologize. No manager was to be seen, and the place had fewer than 10 people dining there.

Celebrated my birthday a day early to avoid crowds on St. Patrick’s day and made a reservation at 5:30. No one was there it was nice quiet food was hot and good. Ordered five appetizers for dinner shrimp cocktail, meatballs, toasted ravioli, artichoke asparagus dip and bruschetta. All was amazing except for the bruschetta which needs to be on a more firm or toasted bread like the bread for the dip…the basic bread was not appealing and the flavor was a bit odd for me…again everything else was wonderful. Others in our party had the Italy sampler chicken and steak amazing Alfredo noodles not so much…and another had a steak and baked potato only comment there was the potato was bigger then the steak…overall great experience…not sure how it would be if it had been busier…

Dined at Johnny’s Italian Steakhouse for Date Night. This was a new dining experience for myself and my significant other. No appetizers were ordered. Beverages included a Manhattan and a extra spiced margarita. The Manhattan was super strong and barely had any ice in it. The spicy margarita was not made correctly. Canned jalapeños were used. The drink had a picked taste to it. Couldn’t taste any alcohol. They need to use a jalapeño simple syrup to make. For dinner we ordered a cup of French Onion Soup, Ribeye medium well with broccolini, and a loaded backed potato, and a filet oscar medium, with mixed vegetables. Both steamed came out over cooked. Filet was sent back, ribeye was not because I was ok with it even though it was not cooked the way I ordered it. Potato came out not loaded, it was sent back and returned correctly. When the new filet came back it was still not cooked correctly (was medium rare), but we did not send back again. This was ok for a new place to try. I’d be ok with not returning to dine again.

We were the only customers and yet had to wait 40 mins for our food - all we had was the soup and salad combo for lunch. I’m not sure why that took 40 mins. Also, only one person at the front of house. She was lovely, however, had no bar experience so we couldn’t get any mixed cocktails. We definitely won’t be back.

The bread was very bland. The cavatappi pasta was overcooked. The spaghetti with meatballs was very good as were the sausage-stuffed mushrooms. The tiramisu was dry and heavily dusted with cocoa powder. We are not likely to go back.

The restaurant is in a hotel and it feels like it. The food is way overpriced for the quality. Our steaks were over cooked. I ordered mine medium rare with a push and it was more like medium well to well. Server didn’t ask if steaks were cooked right and didn’t check on us after we got our food until we were almost done eating. 2 glasses of wine and a petite filet meal was $100. Outback Steakhouse is better than this place. What a shame because the concept and menu looked great. We will not return and I’ll be surprised if this restaurant makes it.

We visited Johnny's Steakhouse on Valentines Day. We had a 7pm reservation and showed up about 10 mins early. We were seated quickly, greeted by our server shortly after being seated, and received our drinks quickly. Our food arrived in a timely manner and was delicious. I ordered the Seafood Pomodoro, highly recommend! All in all I would say its a 8 out of 10. This is definitely a place I would return to.

Our first visit to restaurant was on Valentine's Day 2023. We were early for our reservation, but was able to be seated right away. Prompt service from person who sat us to person who waited on us. We had spinach artichoke dip - fabulous! For dinner we had wellingtons for the very first time. Very flavorful. We loved everything about the experience. Love the music being played during dinner, and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Will definitely go here again.

Terrible steakhouse experience overall. Restaurant is not well secluded from the activities of the hotel. We waited 15 min for a table despite having a reservation. Lighting was harsh. Bread was doughy. After ordering we were told they were out of baked potatoes. All the steaks were dry and over cooked. Pen was out of ink when they brought the check. Would never go back, was a waste of money.
