We asked our server if music could be turned down, the table next to ours asked if music could be turned down. Both tables were told by server she would ask the manager. Nothing was ever done.

About the restaurant
There’s character at every table. Whether you sit in one of our farmhouse dining rooms, the industrial-design style pub, or outdoor by the fire listening to live entertainment, you’ll enjoy a culinary experience which can’t be found anywhere else in our neighborhood.

Our menu utilizes the best in farm-to-table cooking, paired with a specially chosen wine list, a deep selection of craft beers, and classic cocktails with a spin. Our in-house pastry chef caps off your experience and satisfies your sweet craving with delicious sweets, cakes and pastries.

This is gourmet comfort food with a creative twist. We want to challenge your expectation of suburban dining, bringing a bit of downtown Cincinnati’s gastronomy scene to Liberty Township.

Patio seating is first come first serve and we do not take reservations for the patio but will always try to honor requests. Due to high demand for patio seating this season we will require that the entire party has arrived prior to being seated.

You may be surprised to find that a restaurant in such a small town has some rather sophisticated choices on the menu alongside your more normal fare, with entrees such as ostrich being offered. If you are looking for a decadent dessert, look no further than the butter-drenched English Tea Cake! An easy drive from all points in the Dayton area, words cannot do it justice.

Celebrating my college graduation here was AMAZING! We had a larger group and they accommodated us very well. Our waitress was fantastic, the food was delicious, and the vibes were perfect. Most of my family came from out of town and they are still talking about how amazing it was. Would come back in a heartbeat!

About the restaurant
Johnny's Italian Steakhouse® West Chester is the first and only in Ohio. The restaurant concept began in Moline, IL with a few very important elements in mind, great steaks, hot music, hot Italian, and a cool place. And that is what you will find when you join us at Johnny’s Italian Steakhouse®. Johnny’s is a steakhouse complimented with a rich Italian background featuring traditional and innovative items and a superior wine list.

The classic interior is reminiscent of the supper clubs of yesteryear. The sophisticated design of the restaurant is welcoming and warm; the illuminated lighting creates an air of mystique and privacy. The classic sounds of Sinatra, Dean and Sammy Davis, Jr. as well as contemporary crooners like Michael Bublé and Harry Connick Jr. surround the restaurant and infuse an aura and rhythm all of it’s own.
