We had a wonderful time during our first dining experience at Johnnys! Our server was stellar (forget her name, but dark short hair and wonderful) she took our whole order- app/salad/entree and spaced them out perfectly. She was attentive and kind and just a gem. I can see why this establishment has the wonderful history that it does…great food and service paired with a beautiful, cozy space.

Food was amazing, cocktails were more than exceptional, and Linda was the best server we’ve had in a long time. Classic Cleveland restaurant, you can see why Johnny’s Bar has been around for so long.
