    I’ve been to Michael Johns multiple times, most recently for an anniversary dinner. Outstanding food, friendly attentive service. An exceptional dining experience every time.

    Atmosphere was extremely nice, however I think the quality of the food doesn’t match the price.

    I love MJ's but this last visit was not as good. My food was not prepared as requested. This is the first time there has been an issue in 7 visits though. Still one of my favorite places to eat in Bradenton.

    Food was great but French food is very rich and not so good if needing healthier choices.

    Decent steak and seafood. Nothing extraordinary. Prices seem fairly high for what you get. The salmon was well prepared and well cooked. The filet was also decent, and had a good crust. The whipped potatoes are delicious. Decent wine by the glass selection. The French onion soup was extraordinarily sweet, unlike any I've ever had. The sweetness overwhelmed any other flavors it may have had.
