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

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.

Apologies for the state of your fries. Please let your server know if there is anything at all that you don't care for about your meal. and we will fix it right away!

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!
