    We have never had a bad experience at Goodnight Johnny's. Warmly greeted and service is excellent. The Mother's Day Brunch was an excellent value. Choices for everyone from yogurt and fruit, charcuterie and breakfast items (the waffles were delicious and light). Wonderful appetizers of coconut shrimp and scallops wrapped in bacon and more. Generous slice of Prime Rib that was cooked to perfection and a fabulous display of desserts. You could not go wrong.

    Attended a special comedic event at Goodnight Johnny's. Unfortunately the headliner had to cancel but I felt Johnny's did a great job in getting some replacements to fill in for him. Johnny's went above and beyond by getting me signed up for the October show when the same comedian returned. The dining area was packed with tables, but the wait staff did a great job with the service. They also did a great job in dealing with becoming part of the show. Hat's off to Johnny's!

    Comedy show was excellent and noise level was hard to quantify because of that. Food was good and service was great!

    Food was ok. Portions are very large for a large price. Will go back and try again. Poutine needs some work. Complimentary chips seemed to be a Mesquite flavor.

    I would have given 5 stars for service but there were so many big tables I understand the delay but we never went unnoticed! Thanks to Devon for a great cocktail!
