"The staff was amazing and made the date with my 16 year old daughter a night she will never forget. Thank you. The macaroni and cheese is a must...top it off with Bananas Foster. This is all, of course, after the most amazing steak you have ever eaten."

"For the ego and to impress John Howie is definitely the place to go. If you have a special something to celebrate, yes this steakhouse is a great choice. But honestly the food is not the reason why I would recommend this place. I rather spend less at Ruth Steakhouse than coming here.
What I've always loved about JH is the service and the last time I was there, I wasn't disappointed at all. The atmosphere is also very nice in the Bellevue restaurant. If you are in a romantic dinner ask for the booth. They are perfect."

"There is a natural romantic ambiance that is very welcoming. Our server was fast, helpful and very knowledgeable. The presentation of our food was magazine worthy and featured salts from around the world. We were impressed with the price ($40 total including a respectful tip!), service, and overall experience. I would definitely recommend to anyone who appreciates good food!"
