A Taste of Howonquet
As you're seated by the hostess you look around and notice how clean the restaurant looks.
From the crisp fresh look of our salad bar to the friendly staff getting you an ice water.
Our halibut filet broiled lightly and seasoned with lemon butter sauce and Caesar dressing salad looks tasty and you may just give them a try.
Maybe a nice chardonnay to go with it.
This is just one of the many dining experiences to be had at the House of Howonquet restaurant.
Many of the guests have commented on how "unexpectedly" fine the food was or "they didn't expect to find one of the best restaurants around at the local casino."
Many are equally amazed with the portion sizes and how affordable meals are.
Come on in and find out why we call it "The House of Howonquet".
We think of gourmet as high quality, value and impeccable service.
