    Terrific food option in Downtown Palm Springs. Nice to venture away from typical cuisine found on most menus. The Spaetzle and Schnitzel dishes were prepared perfectly. Great wine list including wonderful Austrian whites. Service was attentive and professional.

    The first miss we’ve had at Johannes. Food was solid, but surprising number of service screw ups - one of our mains came after the other main, wine came after entrees - no urgency to fix or remedy, no bill consideration or even an apology. Disappointing from a place that’s always been tremendous.

    25th Anniversary menu had so many choices, but we had to stick to Schnitzel. The restaurant was full and the noise level still allowed for easy conversation at the table. The cheese spätzle appetizer was tasty too.

    It had been a while since we had dined here and I am happy to report that nothing had changed. The food is incredible. The portions are beyond ample and the staff is very much the same also- attentive and prompt. If you have never tried the raw brussel sprout salad, you need to. We have never found it elsewhere but it is amazing!

    We always enjoy dinner at Johannes - definitely the best schnitzel in the Valley. They’ve wisely kept the menu to a manageable number of wonderfully prepared dishes. Portions are generous and the dishes are well presented. Service was attentive and friendly. The noise level can be a bit intrusive at times, but we were still able to talk (& hear) across the table.
