Went back for second night in a row. The pear prosciutto arugula salad (seasonal) and the lemon caper schnitzel are unbelievable. The lemon caper is better than the jager (red wine bacon) schnitzel. We ordered chicken variant and it’s huge easy splittable, but so delicious you’ll want your own.

We were able to get in an hour earlier than our reservations without any problem. The food was very good including the unique appetizers and I thought the drinks were excellent. We had multiple people attending to us in addition to our main server all we’re very efficient and friendly. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

Read some reviews and thought we’d try Johannes. We were seated right away and our server was great. The food was also excellent. My primary complaint is where we were seated. It wasn’t apparent to me until much too late that we were seated in this purgatory space between a wall and the kitchen. Upon leaving I noticed other side of said wall was a much nicer open dining space as was the area near the bar. Perhaps this is something open table needs to identify? My other comment would be that prices are on the high side.

Everything was very good EXCEPT they charged $5 for bread without telling us ahead of time. Pretty chinsy! It’ll be awhile before I go back.
