                                        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.
