 With its sophisticated contemporary décor and uptown vibe, John Howie Steak goes beyond traditional steakhouses and becomes a special occasion destination on the Eastside. The restaurant does for steak what John Howie’s Seastar did for seafood---it raises the bar by focusing on details and quality. The sexy lounge is popular at happy hour and the spacious dining room hosts power lunches. At night, the handsome dining room takes on a mellow glow, and private booths can ensure an intimate evening. The steaks include USDA Prime; buttery American Wagyu; and pricey ($130) Japanese Wagyu (aka Kobe beef). Can’t decide? Order the combo to compare. Mesquite creates a smoky flavor and light crust to keep in the juices. Or check out the bacon cheeseburger, prime rib, juicy chops, and a daily fresh sheet of seafood, such as Parmesan-crusted halibut. For sides, consider the creamed spinach or enormous, five-cheese stuffed potato. Bananas Foster and the lighter Meyer lemon pie are notable dessert options. Since beef is the star here, the wine program is heavy on reds (bottles range from $19-$2,100), and there are 60 by-the-glass choices. Service is attentive and gracious.
