Everything was great. We enjoyed ourselves! I tried the sea bass and polenta! Very good. Our waitress was very attentive and on point!

A Delightful First Visit to Johnny’s Bar Our first visit to Johnny’s Bar was nothing short of a smashing success! From the moment we walked in, the intimate and charming setting immediately drew us in. It’s cozy without feeling cramped—a perfect balance that feels both welcoming and warm. Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely outstanding! Every bite was a testament to the chef’s talent, with flavors that left us planning what to order on our next visit before we even finished the meal. And our waitress? She was a gem! Funny, attentive, and incredibly informative, she made the whole experience feel extra special. It’s rare to find service that’s this on point. We’ll absolutely be back, and next time, we’re bringing friends along to share in this fantastic experience. Johnny’s Bar has earned itself some loyal fans!

Love the atmosphere! Great bar and set up. We had cocktails at the bar before our table was ready. Impressive and unique drink list, the bar tenders clearly know what they are doing. It was fun to watch. We really enjoyed the appetizers, the main dishes had good flavor, loved the Salmon and pork chop, the pasta dishes tasted good but reminded me of something I could easily make at home. Great service.

We ended up sitting at the bar on Christmas Eve and Tracy did an excellent job serving us. The drinks were delicious. The bread isn't as good as it used to be and also the butter. This bread is rather dry and hard and we miss the honey butter. We ordered the twin filets with fingerling potatoes and succotash. It had some strange smokey tomato sauce for the steak. We were slightly dissappointed with the meal. I was glad I asked for a side of bearnaise sauce but that was real thick too. Usually we love any of the food there but nothing was seasoned enough. The potatoes weren't good because it was just fingerling potatoes with so flavor to them. The succotash was just a corn relish. We will come back in the future but not for a good steak like we wanted to treat ourselves with for the holiday. So sorry for the bad review.

Anything related to bread/carbs on the menu was great.
