PALM SPRINGS, CA — As restaurants across Palm Springs reduce their hours in the heat of the summer, the Johannes Restaurant is welcoming diners five nights a week. The eatery offers a refreshed seasonal menu of the same Modern European cuisine that has made it a longtime Palm Springs dining destination.

The restaurant’s summer offerings include a refreshed Summer Dinner Menu, Summer Schnitzel Menu, expanded Martini Menu and curated wine selections. The restaurant is positioning the seasonal menus for romantic dinners, celebrations and gatherings with family and friends.
