    We have been 4 times, this was the least impressive. Slow service, food mediocre. Mentioned Anniversary and Birthday celebration. There was no mention of either.

    Unfortunately, upon arrival we were told kitchen was closing, and we needed to hurry up and then it's definitely not the right way to start off dinner at a very expensive steakhouse. There were 10 of us and all 10 of our steaks were cooked incorrectly and had to go back and still came back incorrect. The manager who was aware of things could care less and basically said we'll do better next time. There won't be a next time for any of us. This was very highly recommended by several people, but I think I've noticed in a lot of of the recent reviews that people have said they think something has changed ... and it isn't the same way it used to be. Skip. Go elsewhere

    Very disappointing. Not a good steak at a what’s supposed to be a steakhouse. Almost no “Italian” connection.

    This was our second visit to Mr. John’s Steakhouse. We had eaten there about 25 years ago and the steak we had at that time had lived in my head for 25 years as the best steak I’d ever eaten. This was quite a statement as my husband is a master at grilling as is my brother-in-law and stepdad. So big complement. The service 25 years ago was also something special. This time however it was not a comparable experience. We were seated at a table that was in the middle of the route to the bathroom. We had frequent clouds of cologne and perfume permeate our table as people walked super close to our table on the way to the bathroom. There was a table in a sweet location that was empty the entire time we were there… When we arrived we were not given menus for the longest time. And when drink orders were taken and we asked about a drink menu we were told there was a full bar. Which we knew… The marinated (in hot sauce) onion strings were tasty but not hot (temperature). The Caesar salad was just OK. I ordered the ribeye medium rare but more on the rare side. It was medium well. I didn’t eat it and ended up sharing our friend’s New York strip with her which was cooked medium rare and was delicious. Our baked potatoes were not hot when they arrived. This was NOT at all what our usual service or food was like in New Orleans and it was the polar opposite of the experience we’d had 25 years prior. Maybe it was just an off night but with so many incredible places to choose from in New Orleans we won’t be giving it another try. I do want to say that, at the end of our meal, when asked if we wanted to take our uneaten ribeye home and we explained that it was overdone, our waiter took the steak off of our bill which was very nice. We probably should have sent the steak back to the kitchen. I’ve never done that. At Commander’s Palace one time I was eating around the fish I didn’t like and the waitress immediately noticed & insisted I reorder.
