A great unique little find

by corleen at Citysearch

My friend and I happened across Houstons quite by accident. As we parked and walked up to the resturant the smell was intoxicating. Walking in we were promptly greeted and had a drink at the bar as we waited for a table. We were told to expect about a 20 min. wait but were ready to be seated in less than 10. The lighting is dark and cozy with touches burning throughout...what to make a good impression? Everyone looks great in this lighting. I had on a pair of jeans and a blouse and was rather casual but it did not make me feel underdressed in any way although if I had dressed up that would have been great is well. The food...omg...the steak was amazing..I think it was hickory? but the flavor was well worth it. Not a lot of extras served other than potatoes but you can add sides if your appetite desires more. What you get for the money....Ambiance...very tastefull food...great wines...and accomidating service....better wine glasses, china and silver....a nice suprise will definately go again....by the way I had the ahi salad with a side of asparagus,amazing....tantalizing treat....just what I was hoping for that night.

• Pros: if it is what you had in mind its perfect!
• Cons: not for families with small children

Over priced for what you get....

by topssuite at Citysearch

First off the food was good. Second, the price is ridiculous for what you get and over priced. A lunch for three ran $90 and to tell you the truth I could have gone to Conan's pizza which is next door for a lunch that was the equivilant in quality and service for around $12. Houston's is a fu fu joint - people go there over dressed looking and acting as if their S--- don't stink.

• Pros: Nice restaurant - clean
• Cons: Avg food at best - over priced

BEST BUTTER IN TOWN!

by mrbutterworth at Citysearch

We stopped by on a random evening to enjoy a good steak (my guest preferred a salad) and were pleasently suprised. Steak was good, the sides good. My guest's salad had tasty seared tuna with a little too much dressing, though they did love the taste. Romantic and quiet, the atmosphere was perfect for a night out on the town. However, the star of the evening, and I'm not kidding, was the butter! I would say that I am a butter 'freak' and not just your every day enjoyer of a little fat and salt mixed in yellow perfection. Houston's was the best I've had ever and is the reason I will be going back tonight. I may even sneak a bit out in my guest's purse for later.
