The oldest steak house in Houston is the claim…
All I know is that it is in fact one of the best steakhouses in Houston!
The service is somehow better than the food. I’ll be back because of the people and then enjoy the incredible steak!

Classic! Never fails to please. A staple of the Houston steakhouse scene! Exactly what you asked for in a steakhouse presented exactly as you would expect! You cannot go wrong with this choice. I have been here many times before. It never fails to disappoint. Either for a business lunch or a birthday dinner, for the first time or repeated time again, your mouth will water in anticipation. The mashed potatoes were amazing. Pro tip. Ask for some truffle butter to slather onto them always and added extra flavor. Do not sleep on the bourbon peppercorn sauce. It is a delight either on the side or on your steak as it was this time on one of my parties steaks. My steak this time wasn't cooked to my order. While it was rare, it was not actually served black and blue. It was still delicious and this place is still highly recommended. The lobster mac and cheese while usually overflowing with lobster I found lacking. This I can actually understand because it's available upon request. Cannot find much wrong with any of the food really. Only a few nitpicky things but with a restaurant of this caliber pushing for the higher marks and as old and respected as I hold this restaurant, sadly I have to expect perfection. It is literally almost to that five-star rating and the service definitely tries to pull it there and on a busy evening of a Monday night. Honestly, it can be expected to take a little bit to get a hold of your server. As there are a lot of things going on so I tend to cut them a little bit of slack. Not many restaurants can be that busy on a Monday evening! I do recommend making a reservation. So this place is always worth a taste!

Amazing steaks! This place or just amazing. The wine list is pretty exhaustive, so much to choose from. The desserts were sweet and tasty. We sat inside for mains then moved outside for dessert. The outside area is so peaceful and the sound of the flowing water. This is an amazing steak house.
