Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The food, service and ambience were fine. Being a John Howie restaurant, we weren’t surprised by the high prices. Two cocktails, two starters, two steaks with no sides, and two glasses of wine were almost $300. We were surprised, however, at the 20% service charge on the bill that goes entirely to John Howie. Their explanation was that they pay their staff well and give them benefits. There was a typical place for a tip on the check. Had we added a typical 20% tip, we would have paid over $100 in add-ons plus $35 tax which included tax on the service charge. This certainly put a damper on our enthusiasm for this restaurant. $400+ for the above listed food is certainly not worth it.

The food was delicious and abundant, and the staff was attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, this being our third yearly visit on Thanksgiving. It was a cold day outside, and since the restaurant is in the lobby, every time someone came in the door, they brought in more cold air. Next time we'll be sure to wear sweaters! Otherwise, I think this place will be our go-to restaurant for Thanksgiving for years to come.
