We have dinner at Johnny's every 2 weeks while spending our Winters in Palm Springs. The atmosphere, wait staff and the food are always the best.

The menu is fairly traditional with all the expected pasta, veal and chicken dishes. The vegetarian selections are very good. The service is perfect. Saying a restaurant treats one "like...

Large parking lot behind the restaurant. Small patio area for outdoor dining. Have eaten here about five times, most recently on April 19th. The food is consistently superb. Staff are warm, engaging and knowledgable about the menu. Our server, Debra, was extremely helpful and attentive. We have had the Fettuccine Alfredo, spaghetti marinara, halibut, and salmon. All were perfection. In...

Our waitress Deborah made our evening. Food was great. The Sinatra steak was great and it took us back to the old days of the Rat Pack here. The halibut was fresh. The noise level allowed conversation Worth the trip downtown
