We have been to Johnson's twice for dinner and , ashamedly more times than we should have, for ice cream.

They just opened 6/27, the wait staff is new. Both times we went the food was excellent, plentiful and the waitstaff friendly and courteous. Our last experience, last night (Saturday) was a bit slower than the first but I think it is only fair to give them a chance. It was very busy and there have been people waiting outside each time we have been by.

Food: Lobster pie has the meat of a whole lobster. Yum
Ribs fall off the bones. Yum
Haddock , scallops very moist and tender
Sirloin tips, done perfect ( I like medium rare) tender and moist.
Home made bread loaves excellent

Red wine...well, they need a better merlot than Turning Leaf

(yeah, I am a wine snob)

I think they should offer salad choice with the entree, that's my only complaint

The ice cream servings are ridiculously HUGE..I have never seen such big servings. ( and we have previously owned an ice cream shop). The ice cream is Richardsons, if you have never tried Richardson's ice cream you are really in for a treat. (Bailey's Bubble also serves Richardson's) . I do think that the dairy bar needs some organization on delivering the product to the client. The order lines and pick up lines are disporganized. BUT, that said, it is by far the BEST ice cream in the Alton area.

All in all, we definately will keep coming back.
