Johnnie's is a collection of memories for all. Personally autographed pictures and genuine memorabilia of your favorite movie stars, politicians, athletes and musicians. Casual, upscale dining in a great location. Set on the side of the "Old West End" just blocks away from North Station, the TD Bank North Garden, historic Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market. The decor consists of a combination of light and dark woods, copper, brass and luxurious leather with huge floor to ceiling windows that you must see to appreciate. The menu consists of contemporary American classics with various, multi-ethnic influences. We open at 4pm every Tuesday through Saturday for dinner,as well as our famous Reggae brunch from 11am to 3pm on Sundays. We are also open Mondays with Garden events and we do open early for afternoon games and concerts. For reservations of groups larger than 6, please call to check for availability.

    Pre-Celtics game brunch with entire family (wife, adult children, and 3 year old grandson). Great experience. Our table was ready at our reserved time. Staff was friendly and accommodating. And food was excellent (as usual). Band was an added bonus. I go to WEJ before all games but this was the first time with the entire family. I made the right choice.

    Went there on Valentine’s Day before an event at the Garden. The whole experience exceeded my expectations! The staff was accommodating and attentive. We ordered calamari, onion soup, roasted chicken and steak. All the dishes were so freshly prepared. Everything came out in stages, piping hot. The onion soup was one of the best I’ve had in decades! Steak cooked perfectly! Roasted chicken was yummy. Most importantly, we got out in time for our event! 10/10. Will definitely be back!

    Our service was excellent. They put our group of 8 in a private room which was perfect. Chef was accommodating with making changes to a meal which was greatly appreciated. Everyone loved their meal.

    Food was great!! Service a little slow due to be understaffed. But they did a good job. Music was fun and lively. Will definitely recommend
