Insider Pages Reviews for John Thomas Steakhouse
I've been to many steakhouse, including many New York City ones and John Thomas unequiovically holds its own with the greats. The steak is tender, juicy, and always made to your specifications. My friend, dont' ask me why, likes his steak bloody rare. He usually is forced to send it back because they overcook it. John Thomas is one of the few places where they always get his order right. In addition to the great steak, the sides (onion rings and creamed spinach) are to die for. This isn't a place for a casual dinner as it will definitely cost you a pretty penny, somewhere in the range of $50 per person even. However, it is great for special occcasions.

Poor Food/Service - Expensive Bill
by Jenniferos
Our waiter was ponpous and overbearing. The lobster was fair but at sixty dollars, very overpriced. The steaks, genrous in size, but over cooked, full of fat and grizzle.At forty dollars I expected ALOT more. The cappicuno poor at best, I thought was in the woods, camping! The shrimp bisque, don't ask! I don't cook for myself but, I think I could do better! The meal was ok for a average restraunt but I ended up paying three hundred and eighty dollars plus a seventy dollar tip. Good thing may date was super hot, or the evening would have been a total waste. I have eaten dinner in many cities around the world and have receicved better food and service for a whole lot less. This was a dinner for two on a Saturday night, Sunday night, different town, ten persons, great meal thirty dollars less. You figure?
Pros: close to hotel
Cons: too numerous to mention

Bring an appetite get and ready fror good steaks

For a small college town like Ithaca, it was nice to find a good steak house that served prime aged beef.
The portions are quite generous, a 48 ounce porterhouse for two, a 24oz bone in Ribeye, and a filet in 10 or 14oz servings? Like most steak houses the steak come a la cart but with servings like this you definitely want to take it easy on the starters and side dishes.
They also serve fresh seafood (including live main Lobster), chicken and a vegetarian dish for those that are so inclined.
On our visit one of the party had the 14oz filet that she was thrilled about, another had the Salmon Filet that wasn?t anything extraordinary, and I had the 20oz bone in New York which they cooked perfectly to order.
Disappointing were the side dishes, a mealy creamed spinach that cried out for seasoning and a saute of wild mushrooms that suffered from the same dilemma as the spinach.
Needless to say everyone went home with a doggie bag, lucky dogs.
Pros: steaks
Cons: side dishes
