Johnny Mango isn’t your typical restaurant. It’s a trendy, upward spot that breaks from the norm. It fits into a common trend in the Ohio City area, where restaurants tend to represent the wide variation of cultures available in Ohio City. The island feel at Johnny Mango’s definitely fits in with this norm. I, for one, felt rejuvenated when I entered the restaurant.
One of the restaurant’s biggest pros is the wonderful service. When I entered Johnny Mango, I was greeted by friendly workers. They seemed to truly enjoy their job and welcomed me in with open arms. The servers were on time and ran a smooth operation. I was served with a smile. Great service is often overlooked, but their service was incredible. It’s rare that service is this good at a restaurant.
The service and environment weren’t the only things that stuck out to me. The food at Johnny Mango is very good, and the pricing is even better. Most restaurants the size of Johnny Mango overprice their food items. However, Johnny Mango keeps the costs feasible, making it an incredible option for a student on a low budget.
Overall, Johnny Mango is highly recommended, and is a very worthwhile trip for anyone looking for an island siesta. The only thing missing was a parking lot, as I didn’t like parking in the street. This doesn’t hurt the ranking of Johnny’s but it would be a welcome addition.
