| - This place is not what it used to be. We walked in and weren't greeted by anyone. Eventually an older man dressed in some worn out looking casual clothes waved us over to him from the end of the bar and asked if we were "on the books". My husband told him that we did have reservations.
Our server was a delight - personable and attentive. The bread was incredibly underwhelming - room temperature and lacked flavor. My husband got the house salad, which was divine. My ceasar salad was warm and bland. We ordered frog legs to start, which were cooked perfectly and the sauce that came on them was full of flavor. My husband ordered the long-bone lamb with shiitake mushrooms, and sundried tomatoes - everything had great flavor but the lamb was disturbingly under cooked. My husband ate it anyway, because he was hungry (he paid for it later). I ordered the rib eye with roasted potatoes. The potatoes were room temperature and dried out, they weren't edible at all. My rib eye tasted great, but several bites in, I realized that it was also barely cooked and couldn't eat it. At that point, we both realized that the server never asked us how we wanted our meat prepared. This is kind of odd, I get that steak connoisseurs will tell you that the best way to order a steak is rare to medium rare, but more importantly that is individual preference. I wanted to, but couldn't manage to finish the steak. The last piece I took was so under cooked that I ended up having to spit it out, the texture of raw beef is pretty gross and I'd lost my appetite altogether. The server was again quite accommodating and offered to take it back to have it cooked more (or in general) or have a new one prepared. At this point, my husband was almost done eating and I was feeling sick to my stomach so I declined and opted for the option of having the meal removed from the bill.
My husband and I both ended up getting sick. He was much worse than I was so I'm glad I didn't finish my steak, but we both spent the better part of the rest of the night in the bathroom.
A poor quality sound system was pumping out 80's pop music while a rather large and very loud guest in the dining area was getting ripped drunk and made sure everyone in the restaurant knew about it. If you've never been to Johnnys, it is a very small place.
A high-end, cozy and intimate establishment, with soft music playing in the back ground and mouth watering food that is worth every penny is what Johnnys Bar is supposed to and used to be. If you want to get your money's worth out of a meal, particularly a good steak, and an atmosphere that reflects it's prices, I'd highly recommended not going here.
