This restaurant is great! Had a birthday dinner here recently and for
some reason they kept getting our order wrong (very unlike this place).
Anyway, to make a long story short they said they would adjust the bill,
and adjust they did! The whole dinner, from cocktails to dessert was
on the house! We didn't expect it, but that's the mark of a great
restaurant. We have gone there often and will continue to go there because
of how we were treated. Besides that, the food is always good...portions
are ample and you never go away hungry. The burgers and steaks are great,
along with so many other things. It's very crowded on the weekends,
so reservations are required, well, they are most of the time. The bar
is large, so have a drink, relax and wait for an enjoyable evening of
food.

Yes, it's a chain. But it's a decent chain, as these things
go. Decor is nice, with brick and leather, and wood-burning fireplaces
both inside and outside on the patio. The kitchen is open, and
noise level pleasantly low. I hadn't been to a Houston's
since the last time I ate at one in, of all places, Houston, 15 years
ago, but my favorite Hawaiian ribeye was still on the menu (named
because of the pineapple and teriyaki(?) marinade, I presume),
and was still as good as I'd remembered. So was the bone-in
prime rib, which my date ordered. Our appetizer of peel-and-eat
shrimp was chilled, firm, and tasty, served with a lovely zesty
cocktail sauce and tartar sauce, followed with welcome hot moist
towels before the entrees arrived. We arrived there straight
from seeing the movie In America, where the only food mentioned
in the protagonist's Irish household was Colcannon mashed
potatoes, and lo and behold, that's what accompanied my
date's prime rib. We splurged by splitting an apple-walnut
cobbler that was quite tasty. Service was pretty attentive,
and iced tea refills meant they brought an entire new glass with
fresh lemon, rather than just refilling from a pitcher. Water
was delivered in an old quart milk bottle for the table. My date
had one glass of a nice Chardonnay, and the total bill came to $93.
Seemed like an extravagance, especially compared to how we usually
eat, but the quality of the food, service and ambience, and the
nostalgia of repeating a fond "back home" memory
made it seem worth the expense for an occasional treat.
