What People Are Saying About Carlo & Johnny

In Short – This elegant restaurant is housed in a former mansion, just off downtown Montgomery. Split into three dining rooms, the atmosphere is unusual and eclectic, with gangster artifacts and animal heads adorning the walls. Each room has its own menu, but all offer delectable steaks. The Emerald Room is grand and elegant, with leather banquettes and a statue of a mermaid. The Chicago room offers pasta dishes, including spaghetti carbonara and penne Bolognese. The Grill room features some lighter fare, including duck and fish.

Awesome
by bee32
Carlo & Johnny is such a unique restaurant definitely a hidden jewel in Montgomery. It's a Jeff Ruby place so obviously the steaks are awesome. The sushi and raw bar are wonderful too. They have a full service bar with cocktail waitresses so you don't have to go to the bar to get your own drinks. I imagine that's why you cant transfer the check to the dining room so that the girls can make some money too. The service was excellent they know when to work and when to leave you alone. A Cincinnati best for sure!

Good Food ... Wine Over priced
by yardc
The raw bar and Steak are VERY good. Service was good except that you can't forward your bar tab to the dinner bill (minor point but they firmly refused).
Warn dark atmosphere. Wine list is pretentious and FAR overpriced. They add $20-30 a bottle over other resurants of similar level.
Should not have to pay for valet parking in MONTGOMERY!!! (nickel and dime the customer in my opinion)
When we arrived the resturant was 50-70% full ... many open tables. They refused to seat us 20min early and didn't come get us on time. We had to ask again if our table was ready (15min after res time) as we looked at several open tables.
If they expect to portray the image of a high end resturant ... this is unnacceptable.
- Pros: Steak, Raw Bar
- Cons: Wine Prices
