DH and I had a lovely meal at Johnny's Italian Steakhouse on Friday night. We made 7:00 reservations and were seated promptly upon our arrival. The service from the host and our server was attentive and pleasant.
We each had a 6 oz. filet mignon -- mine was Filet Oscar, and his was the Parmesan crusted filet with butterflied shrimp stuffed with crab. We both ordered the filets cooked medium and they both turned out perfectly. The sides were delicious.
I ordered a drink from the bar with a minor modification and it arrived exactly as I expected it to be.
I am giving Johnny's 4 stars because, frankly, it isn't The Post House in Manhattan or even Morton's, but it is good for what you pay. The Filet Oscar was $32 and the Filet with stuffed shrimp was $28. These are high prices for the Madison market but low for comparable food in larger urban markets.
Thanks, Johnny's, for a memorable meal.
