"The more a restaurant feels like stepping back in time, the higher the chances of you being the happy recipient of free bread. John’s Grill has no problem honoring this rule. The classic steakhouse in Union Square—complete with ribeyes on most tables, martinis, and a shrine to The Maltese Falcon—is as old-school as they come. They also stock the table with enough butter to make Julia Child proud. A win in our book." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
