    We wish the Surf and Turf portions would’ve been a bit larger for the price. If the steaks actually came with a full lobster tail vs pieces cut up on top of the steak, it would be even better! There was more steak than lobster. The drinks were and service were amazing!!!

    I am appalled that John Howie now has only a good food rating. The experience use to be top notch, the waiters clothes were filthy, he didn’t listen and the cleanliness of the place was not up to standards. The food was good but for the high prices and 20% service fee, we will never come again. Highly disappointed

    The atmosphere of the restaurant felt outdated, with a worn-out interior. The waiter’s dirty and torn clothing ruined the impression of the service he provided. We waited quite a long time for our order, even though the restaurant wasn’t full. In the end, the price was too high for the quality of service and food. The restaurant doesn’t live up to how it presents itself.

    Delicious! Mario was our waiter, and he was amazing. Incredibly perceptive- old school type service that I loved. Ensured a new Coke for my son before he was half finished, bread crumb brushing the table, asking me (a woman) first what i wanted and serving me first. He even put my husband's and son's napkin in their lap. Menu explanation was perfect and not to pressured. Our party of three had the bread, lobster bisque, and various steaks. All was amazing and cooked perfectly. We also had the potato puree and asparagus which were great portions for our table. I loved trying the salts from different regions. We were sat in the middle- not my favorite, but still not bad. Comfortable! We will be back. Thank you so much for a fabulous night out!
