    Whenever presented with prime beef at a nice restaurant, I most times order a med-rare NY Strip - I expect more flavorful, yet a bit less tender than ribeyes or filets. This strip was only good in the center, with the outer edge very ordinary. Also, we dine out for the entire experience - cocktails, wine, food, service and ambiance. We had two drinks each, a four course meal and were done in 72 minutes from door to check. Anything less than 90-120 minutes (for 2 people) is rushed. Service was good - attention to our anniversary celebration. Oyster Rockefeller and turtle soup were good. Spinach salad was delicious. Steaks ok Lobster tail cold in one area. Lyonnaise potatoes were delicious. Crème Brûlée was good.

    There was a child screaming right next to us for the first 30 minutes with no intervention from the parents. We picked this restaurant for a quiet meal and had seen a table next to a window that was empty on the main floor. Our servers, Darryl & Bradley, were top notch and we let them know that we might have to move. We hung in there and the two kids were quiet for the rest of their visit. The medium rare steak was perfect, as was everything else. We will return soon.

    We have lived in the New Orleans area for over 25 years and have dined at many excellent restaurants, mostly in the French Quarter. I have always heard good things about Mr. John’s but never had tried it. We are glad we did! I had the Gulf Catch of the day (sheepshead) and it was superb! My wife had the petite filet, which was prepared perfectly (exactly as she requested) with truffle butter. Amazing! We shared a shrimp cocktail for an appetizer and the unique presentation was flavorful and well-presented. The atmosphere is very old style Italian and you feel like you’re in a movie set in New York. Finally, a shout out to our server, Lloyd. He was funny and personable and everything was served quickly, but not rushed. Great experience! We will definitely be back!

    Don’t know why it’s taken us so long to try this restaurant. It’s a secret or not so secret gem. Great service. Old school steakhouse vibe. Very happy with everything we ordered. Will definitely come again on future visits to New Orleans.

    Restaurant was very loud compared to what I last remember. Steak was undercooked but still delicious. Lobster tail was way too salty and a little fishy tasting. I did not like it at all. Service wasn’t as classy and attentive as it usually is.

    I’m a die hard Mr. johns fan…and my most recent experience was pretty disappointing. I went for a special occasion and had a reservation for 4 months and was put at a table underneath a tv…the cut of meat I was given was not great and me and my friends steaks were both way rarer than we asked and our plates were hot but the steaks were cold when given to us.
