Worst customer service and rudest wait staff of any restaurant in Cleveland.

STILL CLEVELAND'S GREATEST RESTAURANT – i have been dining at Johnny's Downtown for almost 15 years. It is still my favorite place in Cleveland to dine when I want elegant surroundings, service and food. My all time favorite is the long bone veal chop--it is so outstanding, it is hard for me to settle for anything else on the excellent menu. Joe and Paul and their staff are hands on and it shows in the dependable quality. If you are looking for bargains, look elsewhere. If you want the best, this is still it.

Not worth the time & expense – I went there with a group of co-workers for lunch. We had a restaurant-com gift certificate. The certificate clearly stated it is valid with the purchase of two entrees (we bought 6 entrees). When we tried to use the gift certificate, Johnny's refused to accept it. They explained that an "entree" is for dinner ONLY and this was restaurant-com's mistake for not stating that. This was unacceptable.....we are the customer, and it was our first time at Johnny's.....they should have figured out some... read more

Service and food don't match the expense – Waiter had to be the worst...taken way too much with himself, and the word slow doesn't do his service (or lack there of) justice. In a GOOD restaurant he would be fired after the first night. Food was equal to the service. My meal came slopped into the center of the plate, a guest's pasta choice seemed to have been frozen and barely thawed. Not one steak on the menu...very curious Avoid this one like the plague....overpriced, back of the house has no clue as to a proper presentatio... read more

Restaurant Week 2009 – For Cleveland Restaurant Week a friend and I decided to try Johnny's Downtown, as neither of us had ever been there. Obviously we had a limited menu to choose from, but that was fine with us because the food was fantastic. We both had scallops with fennel for an appetizer, which was delicious. The scallops were perfectly cooked and just melted in my mouth. For our entrees I had osso bucco and my friend had pan seared grouper, both of which were very good. I also felt that the amount of food I had, cons... read more

Cold food, poor service - dishonest owner Joe Santosuosso – Went to Johnny's with a group for a night out on the town. Most of the dinners were delivered cold and service was nothing to brag about. I ordered a fillet cooked medium. What I received was a cold and very rare steak - not what I was expecting for what is proclaimed to be one of Cleveland's top restaurants. I can think of many that that are better than Johnny's. To top off an over-priced and underwhelming meal when the valet returned my car it was damaged. I broug... read more

It is not how it used to be – Where to begin....The waiter took forever to bring our cocktail order...he reeked of cigarettes all throughout the evening (possibly had 3 cigaretted in a span of 2 hours). The food...when did this place become "I have to give you the portions the size of Kentucky since all the patrons are asking for it!" No refinement; grilled mozarella appetizer could have fed four; seafood entree was like slop - mountains of linguini with oversized scallops (perhaps the size and not the taste justified $30 pr... read more

The meal and deal choice of the Cleveland power hungry. Think of it as the culinary catwalk for the big dogs. – The Scene This Warehouse District clubhouse employs gilt-edged mirrors, lace curtains and velvet drapes. Besides the eye candy provided by the decor, even more arrives with the clientele. There's quite a few A-list visitors, but even if you're not a baseball hero or big-screen star, you'll know you've arrived when the maitre d' remembers your brand of single malt Scotch. The Food Escargot, frogs legs and a Russian ... read more
