Stunning views, we had the best time! The calamari was superb, best we ever had (and we order it every where we go). Maddie was super friendly and a great server!! I’m recommending this nice gem to everyone!

We had a fabulous belated 46th anniversary dinner at Venus Westside! ❤️ We started with the roasted Brussels sprouts, which—as always—were incredible! And trust me, we know our Brussels sprouts… my uncle was a Brussels sprout farmer just a few miles away! 😉 The wedge salad was amazing, too. For dinner, I enjoyed the blackened salmon while hubby had the skirt steak. Both made for a wonderful meal! But the HIGHLIGHT of the evening was dessert! 🍮 Neither of us is a fan of flan, but our server assured us that the crème brûlée was a “win-win.” WOW!! It exceeded every expectation and set the bar higher than ever! Absolutely divine! A wonderful evening, fabulous food, and the perfect sweet ending to our belated anniversary celebration. 🥂❤️

    We do not go out to eat often and we hadn’t been to Johnny’s in many years. However, we have eaten then twice in three weeks because we enjoyed our meal and the service we received so much. We have had the grilled avocado, Caesar salad, crab sandwich, clam chowder, and fish and chips, and would order all of these dishes again without hesitation.
