Mr. John's convenient location on historical St. Charles Avenue and valet parking makes for a pleasurable evening in the city!

    Our waiter, Will catered to our needs while managing 3 other tables. He was extremely conscientious and provided excellent service making this a very memorable dining experience.

    The service by Boris and his team was the best. They stayed on it from beginning to end. The food however was a slight let down. All the steaks were cooked perfectly they just weren’t seasoned well. The have some good sides that sound good but when presented were small and lacking flavor. My friend ordered the surf and turf and the presentation was on point and the lobster was fantastic. I ordered the bone in ribeye, it was ok but would have been awesome had it been seasoned a bit more. Overall it was an ok experience. It’s just a place I don’t have to comeback to.

    Mr. John's has a genius in the kitchen—the recipes and the food are brilliant, exciting and delicious. The joint is very pricey but worth every nickel. Amazingly, even when crowded the service is very prompt, not a whole lot of waiting for anything that has been ordered. The whole operation seems to be the result of an underlying rigidly systematic and intelligent organization. The only problem with the joint is noise—there is so much loud talk among the customers that one can barely hear oneself speak much less what others at one's own table are saying, which is of course not Mr. John's fault. If you absolutely must have a good meal, go there. You won't be disappointed. Everything on the menu is great.

    Food is excellent. Service is usually great but was entirely too slow tonight. Took too long to approach the table. Seemed understaffed. And very loud and noisy. Can consider putting some soft surfaces to absorb some of the sound.

    I would definitely not recommend this steak restaurant. Our server Will must have been on crack or something, who ask if we are celebrating something 5 times before getting the menu. The lady Kim helping with the tables around us was excellent, picking up plates, refilling waters. The meatball was cold, the who dat shrimp was warm nothing special. Our steak and veal were okay nothing special. People walking back and forth in front of your table to use the restroom 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ We go out a lot wanting to give this place another try but it’s just a neighborhood hotel restaurant that’s it. I personally would recommend chophouse for an upscale experience or Desi Vegas Downtown before coming here. Definitely a 3 star or less restaurant.

    One of my favorite restaurants in New Orleans but this time the steaks were not cooked to requested temps and the waiter was awful.

    We arrived to the restaurant on time and were seated promptly. The staff was friendly and courteous. We were given recommendations for wine, cocktails, and the specials of the evening. The food came out promptly and they brought a complementary meatball appetizer which was delicious. My crab cake was excellent, and my husband really enjoyed the beef stew. When our steaks came out, my husband’s was delicious and mine didn’t taste like anything. We ordered the same exact cut of meat. My husband tasted mine and said it was terrible and I tasted his and it was great. When we alerted the waiter, he took my steak back and suggested a petite fillet in replacement. It took about 10 to 15 minutes for it to arrive and we had finished all of our sides, and my husband had finished his meal. The petite fillet was very good. When we got our check, the waiter mentioned that he took off the cost of the fillet I sent back and only charged me for the smaller portion which I think was the appropriate thing to do anyway. There was no attempt to lessen the bad experience of waiting for the new edible steak or any kind of apology. I wasn’t looking for a freebie or anything. I just didn’t feel like it was acknowledged at all. I would like to give them another try since we live close by, but with so many other restaurants and steakhouses to choose from, I’m not sure if it’s worth my while.
