    I enjoy coming here for dinner. But honestly the prices keep on climbing. This was one of the only places that didn’t charge the 20% surcharge. Well Now they do! As a middle class guy I don’t mind paying for a good dinner, but when the tab almost hits $900.00 dollars its time to find somewhere else to dine. Its sad that for the price of one steak here I can go to a local butcher and get 4 steaks. I understand the cost of business, but its getting out of hand.

    John Howie never fails to deliver a fantastic dinner. From the staff to the food, it is all top shelf. Best dining experience in the Puget Sound.

    We enjoyed the King Salmon and the 34-oz Porterhouse. Everything was very tasty. I asked for Medium Rare on the steak, and it came more rare than medium. The dessert was the chocolate volcano cake, which was excellent. The ambience was very pleasant, and the service was excellent.

    Food was great as usual but the service was a bit under our expectations by comparing with the last time we dined here in 2024.
