John Howie Steak - Bellevue

Great restaurant! Went with family and enjoyed everything I ate. Everything was amazing including the waiters and atmosphere of the place.

We went for the First Seating, a three course $65 Prix Fixe menu, it was terrific. As a comparison, we have opined that the past few years has had a decline in the general restaurant value/quality for Seattle Restaurant Week across the board, despite higher prices. We would happily come to this John Howie Steak First Seating menu during SRW were this the menu and they were part of SRW as the menu is well above the vast majority of other restaurants for the value/quality. We hope they continue to offer First Seating for a long period! We have posted positive comments on social media about the meal and know of two couples now making plans to go to John Howie Steak

Steak was as expected, and I loved the choices of sauce. The double stuffed potato blew me away.

The greatest level of excellence in service, for preparation, quality, and ambiance. I highly recommend it.

For the price we/people pay to eat here, it is expected that the food and atmosphere and service to be good dining at John Howie. However, our experience with the reservation/table/support to dine there for celebrating wife's birthday was disappointed. With a reservation for 4, we got seated at a rectangle table that allow to sit at 3 sides so two of us needed to squeeze at one side. We complained that there are few tables available for four and why can't they sit us there. They said those tables are reserved but we also had reservation for four. I was disappointed that they couldn't be flexible to help us with this situation and made two of us dine under uncomfortable settings on a small table possibly designed for 3 adults. But once again, thumbs up to the food and the dining service at John Howie.
