Moline Restaurant Guide

was out with my date looking for a place that had prime steak. We asked the hostess if they had this, she stated they did. so in we went. was seated and ready to order when the waitress informed us they only had prime steak on a particular night. frustrated, we ordered anyway. didnt receive any discount for not getting what we wanted. poor service, not returning.

Our experience at Johnny's was WONDERFUL! Could not have been nicer. Everything about about it was great. If you have small children, I would think twice, only because I know how mine are :) If you think your kids are well behaved, great place to take them. I will be back, with lots of friends!

My experience at Johnny's was wonderful. I took my wife there to celebrate our anniversary a few weeks ago. We were greeted by a strikingly beautiful hostess named Sarah. (A great decision made by whoever is in charge to have her at the stand) She was very friendly and quickly sat us in a nice quiet booth. Our server, Allie, had a great personality, very genuine, and was quite helpful in suggesting entrees and wine. I really enjoyed my NY strip with the parmesan crust and my wife said her basilico fish was very good. Allie brought out an anniversary sundae with candles (free) after our meal and we also ordered a creme brulee to split. It was very creamy and perfectly caramelized on top. My only complaint is that the coffee was no good. For an Italian restaurant to have bad coffee is very disappointing. Especially with such great desserts. I look forward to the next time I visit Johnny's Italian Steakhouse.

This restaurant has fabulous food and a fun environment. The wine list is great !

We reserved a date for our dad's 80th birthday party on February 17, 2008. The Quad-City area was expecting a snow storm that evening -- not much going on in your restaurant. The "host" that greeted us was surprised "that anyone would come out after Valentine's Day." (Seemed dissappointed that he had to do anything that evening.) I asked if we could get some hors d'ouvres and we would both like drinks before our guests of 30 arrived (now down to 22-something). His reply was that our waiter would be there in half an hour. I asked for a house wine, white. Is your house wine really $10 a glass? We had one person waiting on our entire party. How does that ever work? There was no bread until I said something. My food was cold, as I'm sure most were, but didn't tell us until after the party. The guest of honor was still waiting for a drink for our toast, said his steak was "terrible" and I've never known my father-in-law to be very critical. People were waiting for drinks. I was so dissappointed with your staff and the way our very important event was handled. I went into the bar to get drinks for our guests and that wonderful "host" was standing and talking with someone with his hands in his pockets, again, and I ordered drinks and brought them to my guests myself. WOW! On that snowy Sunday night, where there wasn't much going on in your restaurant, (busy might have been part of an excuse for horrible service) your staff couldn't get it together enough to make our party special. THANKS!! We will never be back and I will be sure to tell our friends about the event. I guess parties are just not your strong suit.
Regrettably, (that we chose your establishment)

P.S.
Your sound system was broken, apparently, for the first few hours. Lovely.

A little overpriced for pasta with a fancy name. Atmosphere and service was good. Next time I will try a steak!

I absolutely, positively love this restaurant! The food is wonderful and the service is exceptional. I'm so glad we found Johnny's Italian Steakhouse !!!

They have excellent food, but not a lot of things for smaller children to eat.
