Johnny's Kitchen & Tap

Another place I've been coming to off an on for longer than I care to remember.  It used to always be good.  Haven't been in a yr or more, so when we decided on this place for Easter with a large group I was looking forward to it.

But I was disappointed.  Not so much by the food, but rather the service.  Our waitress seemed put out frm the moment we sat down.  There were 12 of us, so not a huge table, but everything semed overwhelming to her.  She forgot stuff, seemed snide and terse if not a bit rude when asked questions (like, "we thought the kids meal came with drinks?  to which she replied "you have to ask.")  HUH?  You can't ask for us?

2 people order the NY strip, mine was ordered charred, of course she gave me the wrong steak.  I had to ASK her about it.  Mistakes abound.  And BOY did she try to rush us!  She was making us nervous, she  was in such a hurry to get rid of us.

We had separate checks but she got a nice tip - from us at least - since it was Easter.  No more Johnny's, not with help like that.  Too many good places around, with better service.  They need to clean house with the staff.

One more thng:  I've been there on several holidays, it was usually packed.  Easter was quiet there!  I think their business is down.  That may be why they have social-coupon deals on the internet.  They need to fix their service, maybe business will return.  All the coupons in the world can't make up for aloof service.

Won't say never, but won't be back any time soon at all.

Service: 1.5
food: 3.5

my better half and I have been there twice now. both times the service and food was excellent. if you're looking for a great steak this is the place to go. the prices were very reasonable.

2 friends and I headed here after work one day to grab dinner and catch up. Overall, the food was OK, it was a bit overpriced, and there wasn't much of an atmosphere.

I had the quarter (all white meat) BBQ chicken with soup and fries. The chicken was cooked well, and the fries were good, but there was nothing that special about it. The meal cost $10.95.

It was really dark and dim in the restaurant. I was kind of surprised when we were seated at our table just how dark it was.

Our waitress was very nice, and checked on us often. We split a bottle of wine among the three of us (I think it was $26 for a pinot grigio), and she was very attentive in topping off our glasses.

We didn't feel rushed at all, which we appreciated, as we were there for a while.

I would go back if my friends wanted to (they've been here many times and really like the place), but I would not pick to come here on my own.
