Johnny's Downtown is ridiculous. I'd always heard that it was the kind of place that was filled with young women on the arms of very old, wealthy men and that proved to be true when a friend and I stopped in recently on a Friday night.
We sat at the bar around 10pm. The dining room was clearing out at this point but the bar area was still relatively full, although there were plenty of empty seats at the bar.
My friend and I sat at the bar. The bartender was SO inappropriate and rude. It was very odd. His attitude problem resulted in us only ordering one glass of wine each and an appetizer, then we booked it.
The restaurant itself was lovely, but when I went to the restroom I was shocked. The restrooms are in the basement and the carpet leading downstairs were disgusting. Totally filthy! The bathroom itself was disgusting as well. For a place that charges $40+ for a steak, having such a gross restroom is inexcusable.
To make matters worse, I noticed a few days later that they processed my credit card incorrectly. I was charged more than I had authorized. When I called and pointed out the mistake they neither offered to correct the problem or send me some type of compensation.
In conclusion, this place is not worth your time or money. There are SO many other fantastic restaurants to check out in Downtown Cleveland instead.
