Editorial Review for Johnny's Downtown – by John Hyduk
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 Caviar tasting can begin the evening on a high class note. Move onto the main course with the veal medallions saut?ed with sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms and red peppers in a sherry demi-glace. Or, try the pasta putanaise, a sweet red pepper fettuccine tossed in cayenne cream and topped with shrimp. A perfect end is guaranteed with the refreshing berries and sorbet dessert.

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 brought this to the attention of the Johnny's general manager, Andy Lowry who agreed that the Johnny's was liable. According to Andy the owner Joe Santosuosso said he would cover the damage that totaled $900. That was 3 months ago - they continue to tell me that "the check is in the mail". Don't trust Joe or Andy and take your dinning dollars to another restaurant where you will find better service, more carefully prepared meals and more ethical and honest owners/management.
Pros: Nothing to speak of
Cons: Dishonest owner Joe Santosuosso
