John Howie Steak Featured on KCTS Show "Check, Please! Northwest"

, located at , has been featured on public television station KCTS's show "Check Please! Northwest," which asks local diners what restaurant locations they would recommend, and has two other diners try out their favorites.

The show has been on KCTS Channel 9 several times, but if you've missed it when it's on -- as I have -- you can watch it online. You can also watch the John Howie segments in the YouTube videos posted on this story.

Katie Dillon, a marketing coordinator, recommended John Howie Steak.

"It's something that we save for just these big moments in our lives to go celebrate. It's a very expensive place, and I understand that, but I feel like I can't get a better meal anywhere else," Dillon said.

One of the guests, Rob Johnson, expressed some sticker shock at the menu prices, though he praised the food and service.

"You go in and they start carrying you back to your table. Here comes one waiter and here comes another waiter. You're really taken care of," said Johnson, a plumber.

"The steak almost melted in the mouth. The flavor of the steak was really worth it," he said.

Fiore Pignataro, a realtor, praised the touches such as the smoky flavor on the asparagus and the different exotic salts presented at the table for the steaks.

"Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked. Frankly, it was one of the best steaks I've ever had," said Fiore Pignataro, Realtor.

Pignataro also ordered the tempura fried Kurobuta bacon.

"Pork bacon with the sambal maple sauce, which was mind-boggling," he said. "I had to exercise some serious self-discipline to not eat all five pieces."
