The City of Westfield announced at Monday’s meeting that plans will be filed with the City Council for a $6.4 million restaurant investment, H Steakhouse.
Nestled in the heart of downtown Westfield at the southwest corner of Jersey and Mill streets, a new culinary experience is set to redefine the dining experience in the city. H Steakhouse, owned by local restaurateur Henri Najem, will be a sprawling 9,500 square-foot restaurant with more than 200 seats, an elegant yet contemporary ambiance, and a year-round patio.
H Steakhouse is driven by a relentless pursuit of culinary excellence. Under the guidance of a team of seasoned chefs, each a master in their own right, the restaurant will present a meticulously curated menu that pays homage to the finest cuts of meat sourced from the most reputable suppliers.
“Revitalizing downtown Westfield is a key priority for my administration, and the investment from the Najem family will be an excellent addition to the area,” Mayor Scott Willis said. “We are excited for our residents to enjoy an elevated dining experience in Westfield.”
Najem said, “Our vision is to create more than just a restaurant; we want to provide a haven where guests can escape the ordinary and immerse themselves in an extraordinary culinary adventure. With our globally influenced menu, contemporary and inviting ambiance, and year-round patio, we are confident that H Steakhouse will become a destination for discerning diners and culinary enthusiasts alike.”
Najem’s two sons, Nick and Alec, who operate and manage Flamme Burger and Savor, respectively, will also be involved in the restaurant’s operations. The menu will feature a wide selection of handmade pasta, fresh seafood, free-range chicken, and USDA prime aged beef options, along with unique side dishes and desserts, an impressive wine list, and hand-crafted cocktails.
“H Steakhouse will anchor a prominent corner directly west of Grand Junction,” said Jenell Fairman, director of Economic Development. “The Westfield Redevelopment Commission has partnered with Najem to bring this project to market. Tax increment generated from this project will be used to invest in public improvements downtown, including public parking and streetscape improvements.”
H Steakhouse will appear before the Advisory Plan Commission in June and anticipates opening in early 2025, coinciding with the Union Square parking garage opening.
