   We had the pleasure of dining at John Jowie Steak for my partner's birthday, and it was a memorable experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and well taken care of. The service was efficient, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the evening, striking just the right balance between professionalism and warmth. One of the standout features of this restaurant is the ambiance. The layout is comfortable, and the view from the dining area adds something special—it creates a sense of calm and makes the meal feel like more than just dinner. Whether you're catching up with friends, having a date night, or celebrating something special, the atmosphere really sets the tone. We started with a few appetizers, and the bone marrow in particular deserves a mention. It was rich, silky, and served with just the right accompaniments to bring out its flavor without overwhelming it. It set the tone for the rest of the meal and showed right away that the kitchen knows how to work with high-quality ingredients. As for the main course, the steak was cooked exactly to order—tender, flavorful, and expertly seasoned. Each bite had that satisfying depth that’s hard to find even in some high-end steakhouses. The side dishes rounded out the meal well and were equally well-prepared. Overall, John Jowie Steak delivered on all fronts: great service, a beautiful setting, and food that lived up to expectations. It’s a place I’d happily return to and recommend to anyone looking for a thoughtful, well-executed dining experience.

   Ryan was an amazing and attentive waiter. There when you needed him and providing you with space and time to enjoy your meal. The service staff was attentive and we never went without water or anything we needed. Sommelier was knowledgeable and provided great recommendations. As always, the food was phenomenal. The new addition of the cauliflower steak was outstanding for my husband who is a vegetarian.

   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.
