About the restaurant

Chef/Owner Jeffrey Daigneau “wanted to share his craft with the community he grew up in, treating them to a new level of dining experience – the "Lattitude experience.” He wanted to highlight freshness and the use of local seasonal products create some unique fresh cuisine for guests. With a farm to table concept flowing from the pages of his menus by way of grilled beef tenderloin with white sweet potato puree, pan seared Diver scallops and his famous fried brussels and much, much more, Chef Daigneau has brought back the excitement of dining out. He strives to cover all of his guests’ favorite tastes to invite emotion and inspiration during their dining experience! Thank you for stopping by.

The food was delicious. The tenderloin and the scallops were wonderful. The beet salad was also a winner. Hannah was a very capable server and the entire evening was perfect.

Outstanding Night Out. Has several vegan options for my husband. Menu items all unique, creative and delicious. Server was genuinely and attentive. Atmosphere industrial chic, although it was a bit chilly next time...next time will dress in more layers. Actually, we enjoyed having to go two doors down to a distillery for our drinks which were AMAZING. We will definitely be back soon! Congratulations to the new owners!

Johnny's was great as always. Daphne did a wonderful job taking care of us. Very professional and friendly. The entire staff is excellent. Bartenders make the best drinks. Food was excellent. We travel to Johnny's from West Springfield so it's a bit of a ride but it's worth it!

The service and food were great. The live piano music was amazing as well. The only thing was that there was a large gathering in the bar area that was really loud and disruptive to the diners in the restaurant area. Otherwise, it was a great time.
