Outstanding menu… second visit in two weeks, after many years of perusing the menu: Creative, flavorful and well-priced. Excellent red wine from Lebanon! The waiters were excellent; they really dealt well with a truly awful pair of customers who were seated next to us.

The food is excellent. We enjoyed the the waiter but the person who seats you is smug and never seats us in the dining room despite making reservations days in advance and dining early. I get the feeling we do not look good enough for him. If it only happened once I would excuse it but it happens all the time.

We have tried to get reservations for Johannes two or three times. It is very popular and for good reason: a good location and very good food. Johannes seems to look to details both in the food and its preparation and in the dining areas. We were seated in an area adjacent to the kitchen. The ceiling had acoustic baffle tiles to cut down on noise, both from the kitchen and other tables. Definitely a detail most restaurants don't consider. We had a mixed salad that we split; One of us had classic Wiener Schnitzel and one of us had s special Wiener Schnitzel (called Papa's) which was Wiener Schnitzel, topped With Pineapple Sauerkraut, Gruyere & Fontina Cheese, Chives, and Parsley. Both Wiener Schnitzels were perfectly cooked with the breading properly crisp without the meat being overdone. The portions are large. We each took half of the Schnitzel home. For dessert, we split a nice Apple Strudel. The waiter was attentive and helpful. We will be going back to Johannes.
