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.

The food, drinks and service were outstanding. I was expecting to have to wait for our table since our reservation was at 8:30 on a very busy graduation weekend but was happily surprised that our table was ready. We were not expecting a special menu. We planned for Johnny’s to be our casual dinner after graduation with Saturday night being our bigger night- so it was way more expensive than planned or expected.

Our Mother’s Day dining experience couldn’t have been better. The food was exquisite, the service was excellent, and the overall vibe was fun and lively. We had never dined at Johnny’s before (had gotten take-out there once during Covid), and it exceeded our expectations. Plenty of gluten-free options for us, including a delicious key-lime pie that’s just been added to the menu. Also the kale ceasar was to die for. My mom left feeling extremely satisfied and ready to come back!

Food was delicious! We had the duck and two of the homemade pasta dishes, all of which were excellent. For a starter, we had the Brussels sprouts and they were outstanding. Finally, we topped things off with the flourless chocolate torte, rich and creamy, a wonderful end to the night. The service was pretty good but she completely forgot to bring our coffee. All in all, an excellent meal.

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!
