    Sundae
    Kamryn A.

    I was very very upset with the service and treatment I received here. The hostesses were incredibly rude and were not clear at all about the wait. never have I ever had to put my name down to sit at the bar!! It's not first come first serve like most other places. I haven't been to Houston's in many years because of similar experiences in the past and it's clear they haven't improved. I will say once we were seated at the bar, the bartender was great. Food was good but nothing worth waiting over an hour to sit at a bar for. The hot fudge sundae and the dirty martinis were much needed after this experience.

    I've, We've been coming to Houston's North Miami for many years, but I / We might stop visiting as often and that truly saddens me. Don't get me wrong: the place still has great ambiance and outstanding service. In fact, the service team is the main reason my friends and I have kept coming back all these years. But the food... that's where things have gone downhill. You used to have one of the best New York steaks in town (and I'm not even a big NY steak fan!). Then, some time ago, you made a brilliant move you introduced the Ribeye "Steak and Frites" (an improved version of the Hawaiian) It was, hands down, one of the best ribeyes in Miami. I always ordered it black and blue, and it was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, for reasons none of us can understand, both were removed from the menu. Now we're left with the Hawaiian which I've tried to make work, but it just doesn't, or the filet. Really?? It feels like you're pushing away your loyal steak lovers. I've even heard your neighbor (same parking lot!) is now capitalizing on that, offering better quality cuts. Maybe that's where we'll have to go if we want a great steak again. As for the rest of the menu, it's still good... but not worth coming for. And please, don't get me started on the wine list! I've promoted Houston's many times through my @WineTipss Instagram account for having one of the best, most fairly priced wine lists in Miami. But lately? The Sub-Zero fridges are more than half-empty or filled with uninspired selections. What happened? To the wonderful team, this isn't directed at you. You're the reason we've stayed so loyal. But management, please for the sake of your business and our enjoyment, bring back what made this place special.

    So came for an early dinner with the mom. We went down the sushi route. Our server was super polite and attentive. We both had a drink a lemon drop and Moscow mule( no copper mug ). Drinks are strong and the brought a new frosted martini glass when my mom's lemon drop was no longer cool. We had the smoked salmon appetizer , three rolls and the ice cream sundae. It has a classy vibe but ppl come very casual there too.

    Houston's is always a great time! When it comes to the service, food, and ambiance. This place does it well. We stopped in during the middle of lunch, peaking into dinner so the restaurant was not too crowded but not empty. We did not have reservations, although I would recommend making one --- and we were sat instantly. Our waitress (I cannot remember her name) was extremely sweet, welcoming, and polite. I ordered salmon, with the baked potato & my friend ordered the steak. We shared fried oysters, which they do not always have available. I highly recommend asking if they have them. Everything was excellent, my salmon was cooked perfectly, and my friend enjoyed her salmon. I would absolutely revisit and try other options on the menu!

    This Houston's is located along the bay with a paved sidewalk so that you can go for a stroll along the bay either before dinner or afterwards. It's very relaxing there. We had made reservations at Houston's a week earlier but it took almost 2 hours before we were seated. When we made the reservation at 8:00 pm a week ago, we made it for 2 people but an out of town guest arrived yesterday and we forgot to add her. We arrived at 7:35 pm. We were told we would have a table by 8:30 but we actually weren't seated until 9:40 pm. We left at 11:15 pm! Our server was Charlie and he was friendly, apologetic, and attentive. We ordered the Braised Red Cabbage, the Deviled Egg platter, the Frank family, Grilled Chicken salad, Hawaiian Rib-eye, and French fries. Everything was good except the Deviled eggs and the Cabbage dish didn't taste that good. We also had ordered a Don Julio Blanco and a Don Julio Reposado, which were good. I stuck with cold still water. There was a bronze penguin scultpture by Larry C. Shank near the restrooms with a QR code to information about other artwork by various artists for those interested in the art world. Parking is located next to Houston's with wheelchair accessiblability spots.

    If you come here for lunch, be prepared to wait for a table or it's better to make a reservation in advance. I ordered the crab -- it was tasty, but I didn't enjoy that it was over-fried with too much oil, which made it feel heavy and greasy. The salad, on the other hand, was very delicious as always -- they really make it well here. The roasted peppers were nice, but they felt a bit undercooked. Overall, I really like coming here. I enjoy the atmosphere, the good service, and I always leave satisfied. Thank you!

    Lemon drops are the best ever!!

    The spinach dip is delicious!!! Service is amazing, lemon drops are great, food always fresh!

    I'm from Texas and Houston's is an iconic place that you go to enjoy a great dinner with a steak or their grilled artichoke. To be honest everything in the menu is great. I've been coming here since my teenage days. I love going to the bar for happy hour after a long day. Keep in mind that they sometimes have a waitlist for a seat at the bar if you are also dining. If you are just grabbing a drink you can stand or seat outside in the patio. I ordered the kale salad with chicken this time because my bartender suggested it. It was really good! The bartender was attentive and made my favorite drink a st Germain spritz as I waited for a seat. It took me 45 minutes to get a seat. I didn't mind it at all I walked outside and sat near the water for a bit. It is always busy during the weekday and happy hour time.

Our hostess was very sweet, though once our food arrived, we didn't receive much additional service. What We Ordered: Avocado Toast: Gorgeous presentation, but there was a bit too much onion for my taste -- that was all I could really taste. Eggs Your Way with a Side Pancake: The scrambled eggs were fluffy and delicious! The potatoes were okay -- a little over-seasoned and I wish they had been served hotter. The bacon was perfectly cooked, and the two slices of toast came with a beautiful assortment of butter and jams. Pancake: Light, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweetness -- I loved the subtle hint of cinnamon. Didn't even need much syrup! Drinks: We had regular coffee and an iced caramel latte. The coffee was average (my abuela enjoyed hers), but the iced coffee wasn't my favorite. Overall, this was a beautiful spot for breakfast with great atmosphere and some stand-out items -- especially the eggs and pancake.

The seared salmon sushi was incredibly fresh, the Chicken Katsu Carbonara Udon was rich and flavorful, and the steak with ponzu sauce was easily the standout of the night.

If you're spending time at Aventura Mall and looking for great food, well-made cocktails, and a fun atmosphere, Joey is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back.

First when you walk in you are offered a complimentary glass of champagne. This is such a nice touch; makes you feel special and just puts you in a good mood. Our server was very friendly and she made sure to ask about allergies and gave us tips on the menu and pointed out when a dish was spicy. I think this is very considerate. The food was delicious. The miso mushrooms were so tasty. My family had the wings and while spicy they said they were very good. Next for the main course, the fajitas were so delicious. The tortillas were baked perfectly, all the sides were delicious and there was definitely a good portion size. The burger we have as before so we knew it would be good and that sis not disappoint. The steak was perfectly cooked and very tasty. On both the burger and the steak, fries were amazing . Portion sizes for main courses were good, big enough to be full after. For dessert, we were very happy. I would say everyone loves their desserts individually but we all agreed that the vanilla ice cream was the best! Not sure if they make this in house but I was so good. My apple pie was good and very big I could not eat it by myself . All in all , Joey aventura is a great place to celebrate with family and friends or just enjoy a quality meal!.
