We were joined by 2 dear friends and were served by Justina - always friendly and professional! There was a snafu with one of the orders, but it was rectified quickly. The food was prepared exactly as ordered - delicious as always!

The hostess was very rude to us and refused to let us have a booth, even though there were plenty available. I told her I had a reservation through Open Table and she reported to Open Table we never arrived, so Open Table asked me why I did not cancel the reservation. I wrote them and said the hostess said we were a no show, even though we were there. Service days a lot about a restaurant. Probably won’t visit there again.

I am so sorry that we messed up your seating, both with not giving you your choice of seats and with the open table mixup. It is not our style at all. Please give us another chance to show you what we do best. We must have been having an off day when you visited.

Every plate is consistently delicious from visit to visit. Best dry martinis in the valley. Fries are crisp, the hallmark of a great tavern. I like to cook, but when circumstances dictate, I eat at Johnny’s.

All four of us loved everything we ate--the bread, squash soup, salmon, chicken, bass, and of course, dessert. The service was done efficiently and with a smile. We went back twice during our trip. I highly recommend Johnny's tavern.

Entrees and dessert were great, but the spring pea soup had too much white pepper in it to be edible.
