This was our first visit to Johnny's and definitely will not be our last! We both loved how tucked away and truly "speakeasy" this location felt. The decor and ambiance of Johnny's gave off a cool, chic dining lounge meets jazz bar vibe. The tables had black linens with red cloth napkins. The chairs were very comfortable as well. I was surprised the "dress code" is labeled as casual, I personally would have felt out of place had we not worn our date night attire. But this was our evening out! Lol our waiter was very attentive and presented himself professionally relaxed. The food and drinks were something we won't forget quickly. My Fiance ordered the Seafood Coursed Meal and I ordered the Wagyu Strudel, we each tried 2 different drinks and all of them were a home run! I highly recommend the Peaky blinders. I don't remember the name of his first drink but it came out on a smoking tray which was super cool and was so refreshing! We unfortunately didn't have enough room to try one of their desserts after our meals but we will be back to give that gelato flight a try! Our entrees came out beautifully plated and the portions were larger than expected! Johnny's Speakeasy definitely knows what their doing. Everything was delicious. An added surprise we weren't aware of was Johnny's had live music when we visited! A Jazz Duo that was quite enjoyable to watch and listen to while dining.
Johnny's SpeakeasyResponded on June 26, 2025
Wow, thank you so much for your glowing review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the speakeasy vibe and ambiance at Johnny's. Our team works hard to create a unique experience, and it's great to hear our food, drinks, and service hit all the right notes. The live jazz music adds a fantastic touch - we're glad you enjoyed the duo! Can't wait to welcome you back for that gelato flight and more.

We had an overall good experience rxcept for one server who poured our water without letting us know he was reaching on and startled us a few times and at the end when our server clearly showed his dismay when we asked him to split our bill. He could have been overwhelmed because it did get busy by the time we left but his clear dismay did throw us off guard.
Johnny's SpeakeasyResponded on June 26, 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Sorry to hear our server's actions fell short of expectations, particularly with the surprise water pour and handling the bill request. We'll definitely look into this and work on improving our service, even during busy periods. Appreciate your input and hope to serve you better next time.

Didn’t have the food but could not leave review without clicking something. Great ambience, great for a first date, disappointed in the lack of beer selection but not so much that I won’t go back.

Everything was wonderful, great food, great service! We went during restaurant week so great value as well. We are a bit older and would've preferred the music to stay with the genre (big band, jazz etc) a little later. I understand there are younger folk coming in, but it is a speak easy. Overall, great time!
Johnny's SpeakeasyResponded on June 11, 2025
Thanks for dining with us during Restaurant Week! We're thrilled you enjoyed the food and service. We appreciate your feedback on the music - we'll take it into consideration for future events. Big band and jazz are definitely part of our speakeasy vibe, and we'll look at how to balance that with our diverse crowd. Glad you had a great time overall!

We had dinner upstairs before hand and the menu was the exact same which was kind of disappointing as we were out for a night with friends for a birthday celebration.

Happy birthday to your friend! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We appreciate your honesty and are sorry to hear that we didn't quite meet your expectations.
