The Wiener Schnitzel was excellently prepared. It was flavorful and not dry. Best I’ve eaten in the US.

We came all the way in from Rancho Mirage ... sort of a standing joke because as we get older a 20 minutes car ride is excessive lol. The restaurant was very nice inside. the decor was urban chic and when you walked in they have a small 4 seat bar and a large room off to the right side. they also have a nice patio for outdoor dinning. The place was busy and we say right away. cocktails we had the blood orange cocktail and a German beer. Food wise we had the meatballs and the escargot both excellent. entrees we all had Schnitzel which was the best Ive had. Our server was friendly and responsive with our drinks and food. This is definitely a place to try!

The Potato leak with crab and the mushroom soups were excellent. The Escargot and Ahi Tuna appetizer’s were fabulous. The Shrimp cocktail and Malayan Meatballs were interesting. My Husband said the Roasted 1/2 Duck was the best he has ever had, he didn’t care for the braised red cabbage and the polenta cake was dry. My Rack of lamb with smashed fingerling potatoes and green beans was fantastic. A Margaux Bordeaux was wonderful. Our first time at Johannes, we look forward to trying everything on the menu. Every dish that passed our table looked delicious.
