Santa Howie is bringing back a well-loved gifting tradition at John Howie Steak and Seastar Restaurant & Raw Bar for all loyal patrons on the nice list!

From now until December 31, holiday diners at both restaurants will receive a Secret Gift envelope valued up to $500 at John Howie Steak or $300 at Seastar that may cover the entire cost of a future dinner in early 2023.

In order to redeem, the Secret Gift envelope must remain unopened until the server opens during the return visit.

How the Secret Gift Works

Every guest check will receive one Secret Gift envelope. If there are multiple couples at the same table, each couple will receive a Secret Gift envelope.

The guest must bring the sealed Secret Gift envelope when they return in January or February to the restaurant that issued it. The envelope will be opened by the server at the end of the meal to disclose the gift certificate amount that will be applied toward the bill.

The Secret Gift must be redeemed between January 2 and February 28, 2023 (February 14 is excluded) for food and beverage during non-Happy Hour dine in only. One Secret Gift may be used per table, cannot be used for gratuities and is not valid with any other offer.

The Secret Gift amounts range from $15 to $100, with 15 full experience certificates valued up to $500 at John Howie Steak or $300 at Seastar. Remember, the envelope must be unopened when presented during the return visit!
