Hooray for common sense! That being said, we’re going to be going to Monsoon East, another great Downtown Bellevue restaurant, for their tasting menu, $90 per couple.
I love the $55 3-course menu. This is a great idea, and uber affordable. Your lounge will be the hot spot on New Years Eve!
Thank you for the posting. I would like to share that is not a reaction to input, though it is always valued. This 3-course menu was planned from the start, but only announced once the menu was finalized.
We wish you all a happy and safe 2011!
I would like to share that I loathe both John Howie Steak and the people willing to pay $2K for their stupid dinner. Donate that money to charity and feed hundreds of hungry families!
You’re right that it wasn’t a reaction to input, it was a reaction to only 5 couples willing to spend that ridiculous amount!
The 3 course for $55 menu looks great. Unfortunately it is too late for us. We already made reservations in a different place.
Now that’s more like it, John (Cathy?)! 🙂
Really tempting, actually.
This is really cool and a great value! Love the $55 option.
I know I shouldn’t be… (it’s none of my business), but I am very curious how many people showed up for the $2011 dinner? =)
Kevin: I asked a server when I was there the other day. He said “zero.” No joke. Methinks it was more of a publicity thing to get people talking. Not a bad strategy.
