    One of our "go to" BYOB's. Friendly ownership and staff. Food is consistently excellent. Specials balance out menu. Service is very good. My top two are the Veal Parm - the tomato sauce is great, and the Branzino special - crispy skin. My wife goes for the Chicken Janina or a special of the day. We go to Janina's 2-4 times per month. Also nice the it is BYOB with the liquor store nextdoor.

    Great food, nice ambience, excellent servers and wait staff. Definitely worth putting on your short list of new places to try if you’ve never been. Is a BYOB and has the option of heated outside seating as well.

    We enjoy going here and always enjoy our dishes. My husband had the Janina's chicken dish and said it was delicious. I'll have to try that the next time we go. Unfortunately the regular chef was apparently off from what I was told and my dish was made differently than the way it was described on the menu, and as I've had it before, missing the mascarpone cheese, which makes it completely amazing. I do wish that once the dishes were served the waiter would have come and asked how we were doing. I would have told him. Instead he came over when it was time for dessert with the dessert menu's and I told him then, but it was too late for it to be corrected. We've had both the limoncello cake in the past and the tiramisu this time. We would recommend you leave room for dessert. Both were very good. Even though this experience wasn't perfect, we would recommend that you try them.
