This restaurant has been around for quite some time, but this was our first visit. A nice little local place with a distinctly rural feel. The service was pleasant but very slow. The chicken wings were huge. I think they were actually thighs. The rib steak was cooked to order, but although advertised as 12 oz, it could not have... More

5 of us went for dinner. Was not our first visit and will not be our last. If you are going for dinner on the weekend, suggest you book reservations as the restaurant is not big and fills up fast. In the summer, the have an enclosed patio which increases the seating capacity. We have had a few of the... More

Over the years, the location of Johnny Bistro's has been occupied by one restaurant after another... always closing not too long after opening. So, when Johnny's opened a few years ago, I expected the same fate... open and then closed! How thrilled I am to report that Johnny's is still in business and not only just "in business", but thriving!... More

We know from years of experience eating here that this is a local favorite. Voting results have been documented in local papers. Owner is always gracious, outdoor patio (in season) is uniquely charming and beautifully decorated with flowers and plants and often has live music on certain nights. The saganaki is the best in the Toronto area. The lunch special... More

Have been to this spot many times. The food is usually good for me(I generally order the same thing) but my partner has not been so lucky – she is quite ofter not happy with her meal (about half the time). The latest visit makes the point very well. I ordered a Johnny Melt - good sandwich but the chips... More

Some greek to the menu, but lots, lots more. Four features every day on the blackboard, all come with soup made on site. Several draughts, short but decent and reasonably-priced wine list. Friendly service. Enjoy sitting on the patio in good weather.

Wait staff and kitchen staff are friendly and flexible. And the patio's a great place to enjoy a meal outdoors
