Johnny’s Downtown, opened in 1993, is similar to the original Johnny’s Bar on Fulton Road, featuring pasta, veal and fish. The setting, a refurbished 1860’s Warehouse District building, formerly a general store, is the drinking and dining spot of locals and business people alike. Joseph Fall, the executive chef, oversees the food operations and is responsible for our crafting our signature dishes and creating daily specials. There are several wines by the glass to choose from and the wine list has nabbed an Award of Excellence from the Wine Spectator. There is piano music in the bar featuring Mike Petrone Monday-Friday, and Cliff Habian on Saturday evenings.

Mediocre dining experience. We arrived and waited 5 solid minutes for the host. The place was mostly empty - just two other tables were seated. Service was just ok from there. We had the walleye special and the petit filet with scampi. The food was just ok - not up to the level we expected from previous visits and not compared to the price. We also had two cocktails that were excessively boozy.

Service was a little slow, but it was a very busy night. Food was outstanding. Would highly recommend the linguini with clam sauce.

Everything was top notch but they were out of martini glasses. Had to drink a martini in a rocks glass. But besides that we loved it.
