    Everything was going great until the one entree arrived. Steak and backed potato. How basic can you get. Steak was done perfectly. The potato was cold- the butter didn’t melt. Second potato was cooked the same way. Lukewarm at best. Third potato was declined as my steak was now cold. Said ENOUGH! You would expect a restaurant would have a meat thermometer to measure the temperature of the potato! It was a very disappointing experience as it was our anniversary dinner. The meal was free but it wasn’t a good time.

    We went to Carlo & Johnny to celebrate my father retiring and my mother winning an award. We had the best time. The food was excellent and so was the service! Our waitress, Alicia, was so sweet and very attentive to our table. Highly recommend, especially for any kind of celebration!

    Overall the experience was just above average. The quality of the wagyu steak was not good, with grizzle in the middle of it.

    It’s always a great time and I’m never disappointed if I come here. It’s a bit expensive but you get what you pay for if you wanted a quality experience.

    We had a great meal and experience. We’ve been to other Ruby’s restaurants but this was our first time at Carlo & Johnny. It met all of our high expectations from our past visits to the others. It’s a very cool and unique place. We will be back.

    Carlo and Johnny’s food and service is always the very best but it was even better than usual last night because our server was nice enough to take her time and explain some of the history that had happened in the house before it became the restaurant. It’s nice to know somebody cares enough to take the time and share with guests the little things which made our experience that much more enjoyable. Nice job.
