Love this place and the new renovations are beautiful! And although some of our favorite menu items are gone - as with the new chef came an entirely new offering - all of the dishes we tried were wonderful. Of course it is the service and Ari always treating us like family that definitely makes us come back time and time again.❤️

If your looking for a nice night out where the quality of the food is good, the portions fair, and you're not spending a fortune, we highly recommend Janina's. A plus is this restaurant is a BOYB. Enjoy.

A great find with consistency in both food and quality of service. It’s BYO but there is a liquor store next door with a decent selection. You won’t be disappointed!

We visited with a party of 4 for dinner before the Holidays.... even though the restaurant was packed, the food was incredible, and came out without delay. The servers are thorough and know their menu and happy to share recommendations and favorites. Janinas is consistently good food, and great service... highly recommend!
