Solid restaurant for a nice night out. Not an over the top fine dining but I wouldn't expect it for the price point. But the food was good, the service was good, the price was right so it checked all the boxes. Would definitely recommend

The menu is less than impressive. But the food and the small touches really make the place. The Coffee Affogato as dessert is old style excellent.

Loved it the first time I came in. The food is delicious, convenient and easy to order. Staff are friendly but can be busy some times due to the popularity of customers. Overall great experience and highly recommended

Still an excellent choice for lunch. Healthy alternatives and hearty chicken and burgers. Vibe is elevated with plenty of outside seating or indoor/outdoor seating.

This neighborhood restaurant is busy all the time. Our yasai to tamago and breakfast hash were complicated and very tasty. We were really impressed by the chef's talent. Worth going there again.

Hoping for a nice little lunch, on a chill Wednesday, my partner and I found Johnston’s Saltbox. With over a thousand great reviews, I knew this place had to be excellent and it was quite good. The vibes were immaculate between the sense of community indoors or the more relaxing vibe outside. The food was also fantastic. We ordered the Fall Harvest Salad as well as the Fried Chicken Sandwich. The salad wasn’t anything crazy, but it was a nice mix of flavor and freshness. The sandwich was something they are known for, and it was actually quite good. There are two different sauces on it that come together really well and though it is a chicken breast, the meat is pretty tender. The breading does separate a bit off the meat though so there is a chance the meat will slip right out of the breading, but nonetheless everything comes together so well. The fries were also fantastic. Genuinely some of the best fries I’ve had with how fluffy and crispy they are.
