This place really is the standard in how to treat people like people, and how to cook food on a high level without being pretentious. No other hotel, hotel restaurant, or chain restaurant has made me consistently feel appreciated and welcome like Johnny's The Rewind. If you leave this place anything other than feeling appreciated and happy, you have failed in some respect. ![]() You look to your right and Cienna is there, with the same genuine smile wishing you a good night. The journey ends, you begrudgingly stand from your 4-post butt support and stride out of the restaurant toward the elevator or your dino-burning go-kart. This is your hardest decision of the night - give orders to a capable bartender, or let that bartender take you on an after-dinner journey. Your stride meanders to the row of empty chairs. As you walk past the half-empty bar something calls to you. Your gut swells with the strokes of your fork and everything around you looses meaning. There is absolutely no disappointment every dish is meticulously prepared and comes out the perfect temperature. You worry about the cost, but perform mental gymnastics saying the company will pay for it, or that this is a treat to yourself.well it is, and get what you want because you're worth it.
