Specialty beef dish
Amanda W.

I would go back for the ambience and drinks unsure about dinner. I've been there for steak and pasta before, and it was good that it brought me back however this time both of our main meals were OK nothing special. Chicken marsala had zero flavor. The French onion soup was OK, but there was barely any onions in it. The scallops were done perfectly, but for a side of two at $18 felt a little expensive. The caviar bump was $10 which was good for someone who wants to try caviar for the first time. Our server was very attentive. I will try again and update the review if I have a better experience, but for now it wouldn't be my top choice.

Stunning! I'm rarely wowed by a restaurant, but my visit to Johnny Manhattan's was wonderful in every way. As my wife and I walked in, we were amazed by the scale and beauty of the place. The hardwood bar needs to be experienced firsthand to understand how spectacular it is. Then you see the impressive fireplace and the charming dining area, and I was loving it before we even did anything there. We arrived early, so we went to the bar for drinks. My wife, the couple we were with, and I were each impressed with the size of the pours. We ordered a few glasses of wine, a fantastic classic Wisconsin Old Fashioned, and a bourbon on the rocks. The amount we were poured each was impressive, especially compared to other restaurants we've been to lately. The service was fantastic. We were constantly catered to, even though the place was packed. We were each shocked to learn our waitress was new and just starting to fly solo, because she was terrific. Finally, and most importantly, the food was excellent. We started with crab cakes and escargot. Both were absolutely stellar. The salad and bread service were delicious, too, and it was a nice touch that the butter came in slices (we didn't have to unwrap them from foil - a small thing but another plus). When our steaks arrived, each was cooked to the perfectly charred medium-rare we ordered (three NY Strips and one Filet Mignon). Paired with mushrooms, sauteed onions, and some of the largest baked potatoes we'd ever seen, we were in culinary paradise. We will definitely be back, and I imagine many times to come. I haven't had a night that perfect in a long time, if ever.

I had been wanting to visit Johnny Manhattan's for years. Having grown up in the area, I couldn't believe I'd never been -- so we decided to go for my son's birthday. Unfortunately, it was a major disappointment, and I won't be returning. The atmosphere was fantastic -- it truly has that classic, old-school supper club feel I was hoping for. Sadly, the poor service overshadowed nearly everything else. We never received bread for the table, our drinks sat empty for long stretches, a martini glass was accidentally dropped and shattered on our table, and two of our five meals arrived missing their sides. The food itself was good, but not great. My son's pizza was undercooked -- the crust couldn't even hold up the cheese and pepperoni. The ribs were lackluster, the fries never showed up, and while my steak was decent, it too was missing a side. The remaining dishes at our table came out correctly and were fine, but by that point we'd been waiting well over an hour and didn't have the patience to request fixes. Overall, the food quality was okay for the area, but not worth the price or frustration. I'd suggest driving a little farther for a better dining experience.

We went here on a Wednesday night for our anniversary and it was a great meal. The steaks were cooked perfectly and they were flavorful. The sides were fabulous. The inside is filled with holiday decorations and it's very joyful. Feels like an old high end supper club. They also gave us a small anniversary cake at the end. It was very kind. Only negative was the house salad was not top notch - it was something you'd experience at Applebees or a similar place - wasn't bad - just not great. We will go there again.

Veal Johnny's

Beautiful restaurant that accommodates a large number of customers both for dining and cocktail lounging. Very welcoming entry door, parking lot, ramp with railings, restroom, and smooth navigation inside of the restaurant for cane or walker dependent customers. A generous menu of assorted food choices and appetizers. Friendly hostess and waitstaff. Great bartenders. Special occasion dinner or just an evening out with a friend are handled well here. Delicious Veal Johnnys entree followed by a turtle sundae was my delight for the night.

Was here for a work meeting, had the private room! Lovely ambiance in the restaurant - HUGE and open! Private room was great, intimate and perfect for our group. I got the pork chop duo. It was THE BEST PORK CHOP IVE EVER HAD! You must must must order. Great spot!!!!

Meatballs
Kirt V.

We went here Wednesday for dinner had the meatballs for appetizer had the walleye for dinner. Meatballs were a little cold. Walleye had some bones in it Others had the chicken it was good

Lasagna
Brad P.

We had an incredible dining experience here. Table of 5 sober got to try alot of dishes. The brandy old fashioned were perfect. The server was attentive and friendly and we actually got our own private room. We highly recommend the haystack onion strings and the cheese curd appetizers. The remoulade (?) sauce with the strings was fantastic. One of our diners had the lasagna. It was absolutely enormous and came with a salad and what he described as the best garlic bread ever. He also said the lasagna was the best he's ever had. He's a big eater and barely ate half his meal. The steaks were cooked perfectly and had an amazing char. The baked potato and the hash brown casserole were both great. We added side scallops and they were huge and tasty. Great meal. Hope to be back soon as there were at least 10 dishes that sound amazing.

Pork Chops
Julie S.

We had a wonderful experience at Johnny Manhattan's. The setting is very beautiful - located in the scenic Holy Hill area. Inside the restaurant you'll feel like you're at a swanky steak house. I ordered the lasagna- it was possibly the best I have ever had. The portion was huge and it came with a delicious salad and a slice of tasty garlic bread. My significant ordered the pork chops- he said it was the best he had ever had. We definitely recommend this restaurant!

Should be medium well done steak in the photo. What do you think?

We were seated immediately and we ordered the $5 relish bar. I liked it. Very good cheese, olives, pretzels, eggs, celery, carrots, etc. well worth $5. I got their special pineapple old fashioned. It was very tasty. I ordered the baby back ribs which came with mashed potatoes (a tad small portion), salad, and warm bread. The ribs were very tender and delicious. Bread was good too. I wanted more mashed potatoes. Wife got salmon which she enjoyed as well. I got a free slice of carrot cake for my birthday, which was nice. Cake was fair at best. I would return to this supper club if I'm ever near Germantown again. The servers were very attentive and pleasant. It's a nice quiet setting even though it was getting crowded as the evening went on.

The supper club has a…read moregreat vibe and we had a really wonderful server, she was so kind especially to my young nephew. We started with a round of drinks, cheese curds, and the complimentary bread and were off to a good start. The drinks were good and the bread was a classic hot supper club bread. A few of us opted for the $5 relish tray and we all felt like that was a waste of money. Maybe $5 a table would be more reasonable? The deviled eggs were what we looked forward to the most but they had zero flavor. There was only one type of breadstick (large, sesame, hard to eat) which was also a bummer. I got the chicken dumpling soup and that only had one piece of chicken and one dumpling. Very bland. For my meal I had the salmon which sounded amazing on the menu, but I was so disappointed. The mushroom/spinach combo was soo salty that it was inedible, the salmon was also incredibly salty with no other flavor at all. I ate about half and gave up. The risotto is another thing I looked forward to and it was also flavorless. Others in my group had the halibut, crab cakes, beef pasta, and a salad. It seemed like all meals lacked overall flavor and interest. Our very sweet waitress did kindly bring my nephew a chocolate cake slice to celebrate his birthday which was unexpected and generous, Based on all the other reviews, I hope that we just got an off night. But based on the food we ate we would likely not return.

They have always been done to perfection and tasty. I would rather see them just cut the prices instead of the BOGO. That seems like just a way for customers to pay their wait staff more since it's expected to tip on the full cost. Personally tipping should just be done away with. For people complaining about wanting linen table cloths, what a waste of water cleaning that many every day. It's a rustic restaurant and I enjoy it remaining rustic.

Unfortunately, this second dinner was even worse than the first. The rice was undercooked, the short ribs were dry, and the scallops were gritty. I realize that, for some people, the Buy One, Get One promotion is a big draw. However, I suspect that the menu prices are inflated to offset the BOGO savings, so it doesn't end up being much of an actual benefit. My wish is that they would focus on improving the quality and consistency of the food and charge prices that appropriately cover their costs while still allowing them to make a profit. I don't think we'll be coming back anytime soon, which is sad because there is so much to like about the location and atmosphere.

Great place for a special occasion, but they don't hit it out of the ballpark every time...maybe 4 out of 5 (hence 4 stars). The food at Palmer's has always been very good. My wife and I have only ever had steak here as entrees. My go to is a med-rare ribeye and my wife always goes with a mid-well filet butterflied (I know, I know...shaking my head as I type that). They also have a really good tomato and fresh mozzarella salad that is a great starter (the balsamic is what makes it stand out). Service here is pretty spot on the majority of the time and all of the people that we have interacted with have been friendly. It can get relatively loud if you are sitting in the main dining room area, and this is where we have always been seated.

We started with the Smoked Peaches and Brie appetizer. We had it last time, and it was just as good this time. They could improve it by increasing the number of crostini from six to eight. There's plenty of peaches and Brie, but not quite enough crostini to go with them. I tell people that I absolutely love the brisket, so that's what I got again. The Brisket Sandwich is consistently good. The others ordered the Salmon Bowl, Pulled Pork Sandwich, and Baby Back Ribs. Everyone loved what they got, with the exception of the ribs. They were so tough that you could barely cut them. The person who ordered them didn't want to make a fuss but was clearly frustrated. It wasn't until the end of the meal that we mentioned the problem to our server. Next time, an item like that needs to be sent back. That would make for happier customers and a better-informed kitchen staff. I'll keep coming back for the brisket. :)

Being seated at the bar first was a treat because I got to see all the quality drink ingredients and had a front row to the live music. 2. The Drinks Excellent, high-quality cocktails with house made mixers instead of bottled stuff. The Hennessy Sidecar and Tiramisu Martini were both amazing! 3. The Food My husband ordered a Ribeye & Fries. He said it was the perfect medium, delicious, and had a good crust. His steak fries were piping hot and good! We shared them. I opted to get two appetizers instead of an entree which meant no salad unless I wanted to pay an up charge. I decided on the crab mac & cheese. It was flavorful and creamy. It had real crab meat folded directly into the cheese sauce instead of lump crab thrown on top like other Steakhouses Crab Cakes-Hate to say it but I was very disappointed. They were full of flour filler, there was not a lump of crab to find. I would be surprised if they're even made in house. Looked nothing the image that led to me ordering them. They had so much flour in them that they stuck to the roof of my mouth. Reminded me of Pick N Save's 5/$5 crab cakes from their meat department. 4.Service & Hospitality was top tier. The waitress was kind and attentive. She noticed the crab cakes were barely touched & when I expressed dissatisfaction with them she had them removed from our bill without any hesitation or pushback. Despite the crab cake challenge, the incredible drinks, great steak, nostalgic atmosphere, and stellar service made for a wonderful night out. So, to answer your question... Yes, we will absolutely be back!

The accompanying American fries got an upgrade with cheese and fried onions. Absolutely delicious! This will probably be my go-to breakfast when I return.
