Dear John's is a restaurant with a unique 1950s vibe, reminiscent of the Rat Pack era. The atmosphere is dimly lit, which some diners may find a drawback, but the attentive service and delicious food often make up for it. The menu features standout dishes like sourdough with house-made butter, Caesar salad made table-side, and chicken parmigiana served bone-in. The lamb with mint jelly is a highlight, and the sides, such as potatoes and mushrooms, are tasty. Recent reviews emphasize amazing food, particularly the steaks, including ribeye and filet, as well as the Oysters Rockefeller and Lobster Thermador. Many guests have praised the knowledgeable and friendly wait staff. However, some have expressed disappointment with the service, mentioning unprofessional behavior and a lack of attention to detail. The martinis are also a notable feature of Dear John's. While the kitchen may not always be consistent, this restaurant's excellent food and potential for improvement in service and customer experience suggest it could return to its former glory.
