I have tried and tried to enjoy Carlo and Johnny's. I have eaten here many times and each time I leave not happy with the steaks. The atmosphere is great, the service is very good, sides are very good, but the steaks are below average. I don't care how many people say how good they are, I know better! It does not matter if it is Prime or not, there should never be the amount of gristle in a steak that is being sold for 48 bucks. I also, understand that fat is an important part of a Prime steak, but it should be small amounts integrated within the beef and not large hunks that are inedible. Go eat at David Burke's Primehouse in Chicago and you will know what an amazing steak is, hell even Mortons is better IMHO. I just hate leaving somewhere after spending $300 for drinks and dinner and not be 100% happy!
Pros: Great Atmosphere, and Service
Cons: Steaks not near as good as they should be.
