What an incredible experience overall! Everything we had was absolutely amazing, from drinks and appetizers to the entrees. The staff was very kind and attentive, and we can’t wait to come back!

Great food! We just thought that 2 things were missing to be an authentic Brazilian churrasco: chicken heart and farofa! It would be nice to have dessert options at the buffet as well.

The swordfish was amazing. Service was excellent. The pinapple upside-down cheesecake was so delicious I was sorry that I was too full to finish it. We ordered the Dungeness crab bisque. Our server warned us that it was rich. No joke. Yummy, but you could eat it with a fork. Could only eat a bit to save room for diner. But the swordfish *chefs kiss*!

We spent around $50 per person, it was busy because it was Valentines but the service was exception regardless!! Super kind servers and delicious food and drinks! We love coming here for date night, but when we come for birthdays or special events they always make it special. Joci (I hope I’m spelling that right) was our server and was so kind and attentive!

I have heard a lot about John Howie steaks and I must tell you, they are delicious! My dinner partner and I started out with the tempura bacon and bread basket for appetizers. The bacon is thick and it is simply fantastic. The sauce was a must try. I wish I could eat tempura bacon every day. The bread basket was a nice touch and provided a good assortment of warm bread. We also had an honeycrisp apple salad. The sweetness of the apple complemented the light dressing and greens. For our entrees, we sprang for the 8 oz. Japanese A5 Wagyu ribeyes. Of course this is one of the best steaks on the menu. I had high expectations for this steak in the hands of a steak connoisseur like John Howie. It was the best wagyu I've eaten outside of Japan. These are Miyazaki Wagyu, so you know it is quality meat. They are highly marbled, very tender, and exceptionally delicious. They had a very nice wood grilled flavor. I ordered mine medium rare, and my partner had medium. Both were cooked perfectly. We also chose the truffle fries for our side. They were awesome and they were a shareable dish. For dessert we tried the flourless volcano cake and the crème brûlée. Both were done well, but the crème brûlée was phenomenal. The ambiance is nice as it is an upscale restaurant surrounded by upscale designer stores. The music was playing and the volume was just right. The service is five star all the way. These folks work hard for the automatic 20% service charge. It's one of the few places where you truly do get exceptional service. For example, our water glasses were always full. Before they were half empty, they were magically refilled. All of the service was fast, efficient, personable and professional. I highly recommend entering the garage via 8th avenue NE. You can use the valet or use self park nearest the Amethyst elevators on level P1. Parking is validated when you check in at the restaurant. This is definitely a superb special occasion venue. I will be back.
