    Johannes is a personal favourite of ours so when we had visitors, it was our first choice. Our guests were extremely happy with the whole experience. The food is always good and the service is a delight.

    Johannes and his team delivered an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish! From the moment we arrived, Daniel, the maître d’, set the tone for an exceptional evening with his warm welcome and impeccable attention to detail. His professionalism and charm made us feel like honored guests. At the bar, Stephanie crafted some of the best cocktails we’ve ever had—perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. Raffa, the chef, outdid himself with dishes that were both visually stunning and bursting with flavor. Beth and Barrie, our fabulous waiters(they also happen to be sisters) provided top-notch service, ensuring that every request was met with a smile and that our table was perfectly attended to. A huge shoutout to Donna and Caden on the bussing team, who worked seamlessly to keep everything spotless and running smoothly. Their efficiency and friendliness did not go unnoticed! From the service to the food, every detail was flawless. Johannes has truly built a five-star experience, and we cannot wait to return. Highly, highly recommend!

    This was our second time. Service and wait-person were better the first time and the lower attention this time lowered out evaluation. We split a mixed house salad which was enjoyable. One of us had Pork Tenderloin with Crispy Prosciutto and the other had Papa's Schnitzel. Both were enjoyable but both larger portions than we eat. Both made nice left-overs. For dessert, we split Fresh Berries & Sorbet. Again, enjoyable.

    Superlatives for menu, service, wine list, and the food. Don’t miss this place. And the low sound level made possible conversation to go with an outstanding meal. Good value.

    Their service team is just excellent. You never have to ask for anything. Friendly and knowledgeable server. And the food is just delicious. We had the seafood cocktail-it was wonderful. We also really enjoyed the duck entree and branzino special. The Spaezel dish is to die for! And the apple strudel is very authentic and a nice end to a fantastic dinner. Really lovely experience.

    Johannes is known for wiener schnitzel prepared a number of ways & that is what my wife & I usually order. But last night we decided to explore the menu a bit more & were not disappointed. We started by sharing the fried oysters. For main courses I chose the scallops & my wife enjoyed the pork tenderloin with crispy prosciutto. As always our server Mary took excellent care of us. Bravo Johannes!
