John Thomas Steakhouse - Ithaca

This is a lovely restaurant, but it comes with a hefty price tag. Be prepared to spend between $50 and $100 per person. The ambiance is pleasant, and the restaurant's history is quite intriguing. However, given the cost, I would have anticipated a more upscale experience.

This restaurant is definitely overpriced. The food was just mediocre at best, but the service was excellent. The décor gives off a strong 80s vibe.

Wow... the best steak I've ever had, hands down! We've visited steak houses all over, but for the seventh time, nothing compares to JT! And the side dishes? Absolutely delicious! Yum!

We had : calamari and lobster bisque for appetizers. I ordered the ribeye, she got the t bone. I would recommend getting a piece of meat and get one that is dry aged. Bisque was ok calamari left me wanting more. I wouldn't come here for seafood but I definitely would go out of your way to get some beef here. The cheesecake was 9 out of 10 bisque 7 or an 8. Calamari was a 6. Steaks were a 9.5-10 we got brussel sprouts and mushroom caps as our sides and those were a solid eight or a nine. Pulled off very nicely. The server Chris (spelling? Was a delight and the whole service staff was attentive. No empty water or drink glasses. We would most definitely come here again. I must say that the attire is not for hoodies and ball caps. Go here if you want a nice treat or something special. The calamari needs help, I would have gave it a perfect five other than that. My apologies for the photos in low lighting I didn't do any editing but the presentation was excellent.

Excellent service and superb food. It is very expensive. The steaks were great, prime rib awesome, and the crab cake was all crab no filler.
