Johannes - Palm Springs (CA)

5 /5 Todd Schwiesow: This is a great example of a well managed restaurant. I wish there were more like this! It starts immediately when you walk in and notice the pleasantly elegant yet understated decor. The tables, the glass and silverware are all beautiful. The service is prompt and exceptionally professional. There is an interesting original cocktail menu and a decent wine selection. The menu is concise and creative, balancing traditional offerings with new ideas. Our table tried a variety of the offerings from the salmon to the schnitzel. It was all good! The smaller size menu still has enough variety for everyone to find something they like. The desert options are also quite tasty. If youre looking for elegant European food in a lovely setting you must attend! Reservations recommended.

3 /5 Kara Mazur: Our first time here. The place was well decorated with all the right touches. It was a small place but felt big because of character and ambience. The waitress was not nice and ignored us to the point even the bus boy noticed and started to help by asking her to go to the table. When our food arrived it was overcooked most likely sitting under heat lamps too long. The price was overpriced and we would not go back again.

3 /5 Stephan Christina: Johannes has the trendy Palm Springs atmosphere one would expect when visiting the downtown area. We were seated near the kitchen, not in the dining room, and that may have skewed my review a bit. I felt that the service was on point, the food was okay, but it was very noisy where we were seated. All in all, I felt it was overpriced. I had the caper lemon schnitzel which was fair, but because of the price point, it wasn’t wonderful. There is no way it should be a $44 dinner plate. Probably not a restaurant I would choose to return to with all the other options in town.

5 /5 Thomas Moore: My wife & I made a reservation at Johannes for our 5th Wedding Anniversary, during our trip to Palm Springs. EVERYTHING WAS OUTSTANDING FOR US! The atmosphere and service was above & beyond, and the food top-notch, delicious & delectable. We ordered the Escargot and Cheese Spätzeln for apps, the Halibut special & Lamb Rack for entrees, and Crème Brûlée for desert. As far as fine dining goes, the price was very reasonable, as well. I cannot speak higher of our experience. A perfect Anniversary dinner!
