Johnnie's Pier 31 — Restaurant in Town of Lenox

Have been here before. It was amazing the last time. Yes it was 8 years ago when we bought our home on Lakeshore rd cicero. It is our 34 year anniversary so we wanted to go back. Very busy place on a Friday night. We expected a little wait,and it was to be expected. Our server was quite older but finally greated us and took our drink orders. Then we ordered our appetizers which was the fried calamari. $16.95. Really expensive but hoping it is worth it. Ordered our meals and a side salad aswell. The calamari finally came out and it was crispy. A tad to much but we still ate it. Just a little upset because or the price and the portion size was really small. My wife ordered the fish sandwich and fries and her side salad that was $6.95 aswell. My Daughter ordered the fried purch sandwich and a side salad. Then I ordered the fried purch Dinned with fries and coleslaw slaw,also with a side salad. Let me just say the 3 small side salads cost us just under $20 let me be honest, they were freaking tiny. The purch looked like it was a kid chicken tender meal. The food was okay but my complaint is $130.00 + a $20 tip. $150.00 for that was unbelievably over priced and we weren't satisfied. We are sorry to say we would have been happier at Dennys. I also would like to add i am a retired chef of 29 years. I understand the kitchen and restaurant more then most people would ever know. I'm not bashing this place, infact I wish this best for it. I'm just a very honest person. Just was not...

Based on all the great reviews - we decided to try the restaurant. It was Saturday night and we ordered mixed cocktails which were good. The waitress very nice and other waitresses were extremely dedicated to their clientele- they truly cared. We ordered shrimp cocktail - they were 5 butterfly that were ok but not large in size. My husband and I both ordered prime rib king/queen cut. I have never sent a meal back so this was my first time. There was no size difference between king/queen cut, 1/2 inch thick with no seasonings and tasted like old steak. We asked for horseradish and received a dish of sour cream with a hint of horseradish. I appreciate reviews and always refer to them before trying anything new - the wait staff were top notch and could go up against the best of the best but the food quality...
