"If a good steak is on the wishlist, skip nearby Houston’s and opt for a local house, a city favorite at that. Mr. John’s is an Italian steakhouse with an old-school feel and attentive service that has been around for 30 years. Stick to classic cuts served medium rare, au gratin vegetables, twice-baked potatoes, and the perfectly-browned French onion soup." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
