  • Well...I feel a little guilty giving only two stars...I'm generally a generous grader as long as an effort is being made...and maybe I was there on a bad night... BUT, like a previous poster, my pal and I just weren't that 'wowed' by this place...and we really had high hopes. We'd missed out on Cavs tickets, and figured splurging on steaks would be a close second. We'd been to the Chophouse which was good, but wanted to try something new. So, we angled up to John Q's, easy to do given its insanely convenient location, just across Public Square from the Terminal Tower. We sat at the bar which had the game on, but with no sound. Hey...I get it...but come on...this is Cleveland, and those are our freaking Cavs. We knocked back Christmas Ales (GLBC) while waiting. All the steak pre-game was fine, with a hint of Brown Derby setup (salad, potato). Salad was fine. Then the steaks came. I had the green peppercorn au-jus on a NY Strip...the sauce was great, but the steak was a bit lacking in flavor...later, my friend said the exact same thing. He had the T-Bone, I believe. Again...I'm not ruthless (until the zombies come)...but with the relatively high prices (for Cleveland), I just expected a lot more. This is a back-review, because we went there in November...so maybe they step up their game for the holidays...but, not that night. 3 stars said "A-OK"...which...this wasn't a-ok...they seem to be in a comfort zone. They shouldn't be. Like the 90's, this city is about to be lit up again with more eats and drinks than we can shake a stick at (new aquarium/casino coming to flats, Euclid Ave starting to rejuve)...so they're going to be left out in the cold. But hey...perhaps they've already got all the customers they need...I hope so...I wish no ill-will on anyone. That said, I probably won't be back. P.S. The bartender was absolutely fine, and the waitstaff WAS friendly. These are strictly food+prices issues. And hey...I once spent $1500 on a dinner...so I'm not afraid of $30 plates... ...as long as they taste good.
