    Cynthia was our server and was kind and professional, remembering our preferences even though it had been a while since we had her. The food was good, although we would have liked our salmon a little more on the well done side.

    Ordinarily excellent and very reliable, I found the quality of the food pretty average on Sunday night. The Brussels sprouts and barramundi were both too heavy and the use of butter was excessive

    Johnny's was excellent as always. Our server (Daphne) did a great job and is very personable and genuinely friendly. The food was great as were the drinks. Bartenders do a great job. The staff works very hard as the restaurant is very busy and they need to keep up which they do very professionally. Excellent experience as always.

    The food was very good (we really liked the burgers, steak, and steak specials). It’s a homey tavern feeling with lots of locals. Server was very nice, but it took a long time to order on a packed Friday night. Great place to treat your family/friends to an upscale tavern.

    The food was fantastic as always. The highlight was really the staff. One of my members has a severe food allergy. They made sure everybody was aware, they let us know what was allergy friendly, and updated us as they found out more info. They helped make the experience easy. Will absolutely be back soon!!

    Our food was simply on the low side of average. The salad was bland, the chicken wings dry, and the fried Brussels sprouts so very charred. The best was the dipping sauce for the bread. Would we go back? Probably not.
