The long fall.....
On May 30, 2012, I took friends visiting from Germany to Johnny's Half Shell for dinner. Here is the assessment, in an easy-to-read format. --Congress was in session, but the dining room and terrace were barely one-quarter filled. This should have been the first clue. --Our waiter demonstrated the charm and grace of someone called up from retirement to fill-in for a staff no-show. He was absolutely humorless. I tipped him 20% out of pity. --Two of us ordered the crabcakes; what came were two pre-formed pucks of gray, shredded backfin and flipper meat. For $32.50 I expected lump crabmeat. The cole slaw resembled bad kimchi --In sum: This is an expense account restaurant that begs for an intervention.
