   Entrees and dessert were great, but the spring pea soup had too much white pepper in it to be edible.

   On a very busy night, Cynthia welcomed us warmly and was kind and professional. The food was prepared exactly as ordered. Another great evening after a busy day!

   This is a favorite place for us. The food and drinks were excellent. Our server Denise was exceptional, she took care of us promptly and stopped by to check on us often. We had a great dinner. Thank you!

   Love Johnnys. Promptly seated. Service was excellent-Ruby was our server. Kale Caesar was delicious. Fish was tasty but chips were lukewarm greasy bits rather than crispy and hot. A burger and fish, salad and three drinks was $130. Pretty expensive. But love Johnnys and will return.

   The food was generally mediocre (at least companion thought theirs was "meh") but the butternut squash soup was dark brown and inedible. That was a problem since I had ordered it as my main course. I had two bites and pushed it aside. The waitress didn't ask me anything about my uneaten soup so I guess it is usual for customers to not eat the food in this restaurant . . .

   We came in to celebrate my husband’s birthday and had Morgan as our server. She was professional and kind. As always, our meals were prepared exactly as specified and Morgan accommodated a special dessert request, topped with a birthday candle!

   Amazing experience this afternoon at Johnny’s! My husband, daughter and I arrived about 15 minutes before our 3pm reservation. We were seated promptly. We had a wonderful and attentive server and I’m sorry I don’t remember her name. She checked in often and I observed her giving the same great service to all the tables near us. The food was amazing and plentiful. We all left with to-go containers. We started off with the truffle fries as an appetizer. Delicious and a huge serving! My husband had the shrimp and crab pasta special and my daughter had the mushroom pasta. I had the burger. We all enjoyed our meals.

    Very disappointed. We have eaten here many times and have been pleased. We both ordered the Barramundi. Basically it's Seafood Risotto. This dish is a reason to Johnny's. Over the years we have ordered it at least ten times. Usually you receive at least 3 full scallops, 3 shrimp and three clams in the risotto but not this time. I had 2 scallop bits, 1 shrimp and three clams. My wife's Barramundi was equally disappointing. We split a salad that consisted of greens, a few cherry tomatoes and a few slices of cucumber. We were seated at 7:30 so this wasn't an 'end of the evening the kitchen is out of everything" experience. Johnny's is one of the pricier restaurants in the area ($20 for a burger and fries) . We have mostly enjoyed our experiences dining at Johnny's in the past. We have noticed that when the Bean Restaurant Group takes ownership of area restaurants the quantity goes down while the prices go up. Johnny's was much better when the Yee family owned it.
