Every plate is consistently delicious from visit to visit. Best dry martinis in the valley. Fries are crisp, the hallmark of a great tavern. I like to cook, but when circumstances dictate, I eat at Johnny's.

All four of us loved everything we ate--the bread, squash soup, salmon, chicken, bass, and of course, dessert. The service was done efficiently and with a smile. We went back twice during our trip. I highly recommend Johnny's tavern.

This is a favorite place for us. The food and drinks were excellent. Our server Denise was exceptional, she took care of us promptly and stopped by to check on us often. We had a great dinner. Thank you!
