We came on the only weekday Johnny’s serves lunch. We were one of just a few parties there and it was quiet. We were attentively served , never rushed. Our foursome had a beet salad, tuna sandwich, salmon, and black squid spaghetti. All were fabulous. We’ll be back!

Theprix fixe menu was OK. The food itself was OK, but not great. The fish was tough on the outside. The octopus tentacle was tough and chewy. The ley lime pie was fine. The fact of the matter is that after four days eating in NYC, we wen't veyr hungry. But for Restaurant Week, Johnny's did a good job. I just wish a little more care was taken with preparing the food.

We had an excellent meal for a very reasonable price. I had the best ever fish and chips, which was really an entire cod filet in a very flaky and light breading. Lovely location. A wonderful evening with very friendly staff.
