My girlfriend and I came here for her birthday dinner, and Pappas Bros. delivered. The service was exceptional, and the atmosphere is exactly what you'd want from a classic steakhouse. Dimly lit, elegant, and upscale, but still lively enough that it wasn't overly quiet or stuffy. There was a live pianist playing and full bar service while we waited a few minutes for our table. We started with the Lobster Deviled Eggs, which were solid. For our main course, we split the 22-oz bone-in prime ribeye, cooked medium-rare, and served it with a side of creamed spinach. Both dishes were excellent. The ribeye was cooked perfectly, flavorful, tender, and exactly what you would expect when ordering a steak at this price point. The creamed spinach might be one of the best I've ever had. It was rich yet well-balanced, and the flavor was spot on. It didn't feel overly heavy or too salty. The restaurant did provide us with a complimentary dessert for the birthday celebration. We've both been disappointed before when going into highly-rated restaurants with high expectations, but Pappas Bros. absolutely lived up to the hype. Between the food, service, and atmosphere, this was one of the best steakhouse experiences we've had in Houston. read more

I went here just after 5 yesterday evening and I will admit my NY Strip - very rare on a hot plate and Chocolate Marshmallow Mousse were both very delicious, high quality and moist with some nice little chew to them too. The steak was very nicely seasoned, buttery, rich, fatty to the right amount and easy to cut. The dry age aroma was very good and not off in any way. I do think the dessert needed a bit more of that dark ganache fudge pouring down on it like they usually do, but it was still excellent and my favorite dessert here with the midnight cake. The key lime pie is amazing too. The young chef / cook who brought my steak to the table was very welcoming and nice. However, I was not pleased with the bartender / server with the brown hair n glasses that took my order. I never had her serve me, nor seen her here before, considering my last visit was in December. She was not welcoming, friendly or even too professional. She seemed annoyed with a stick up her ass when she came up to serve me. Instead of being more restaurant style hospitable, she immediately asked me if I have a reservation. That's like saying to provide a reason for allowing me to eat in that seat or section of the restaurant. I sit in that same spot right behind the piano whenever I can and it was not reserved. I have been coming here a handful of times a year since the summer of 2019. I know seats that are taken have reserved signs. I also wasn't sitting at a big table taking up much space or anything, so this whole vibe pissed me off before I even ordered. Gee, maybe if I wore a button down shirt and expensive watch, she probably would've dared to ask that. Then, a very easy, possible mistake of bringing the wrong dessert happened, which is no biggie at all and takes just a couple minutes. So normally no problem and wasn't in a rush. Now, when I told her, she just quietly took it back instead of saying a quick - Oh that's right or Oh sorry, be right back, like she's too proud to admit her mistake. I will admit she got the food, drink and dessert out on time, but had no customer service skills. She honestly was lucky to even get a 9 % tip from me when I tip 23 % in restaurants as long as they're nice / welcoming and the service is just passable. read more

My husband and I came on Valentine's Day and made a reservation about a week in advance since we figured it'd be busy. When we got there, the staff greeted us and even congratulated us on our anniversary, which was really sweet. Our table was ready right away when we arrived. Within the first few minutes they had brought out the complimentary bread and butter, and let me just say this alone would've made me happy lol. Starter/Drinks: *Strawberry Basil Up Martini - this was strong but refreshing. 7.5/10 *Lychee Martini - amazing 10/10 *Mrs.Robinson - delicious as expected 9/10 *Lobster Deviled Eggs - i, for one, do not like eggs but theseee??!??!! omg I'd sell my left kidney for this! The sweetness of the lobster with the spicy of the bacon is a perfect combination 1000/10 Entree: *12 oz Filet Mignon - ordered these medium rare and they came out perfect! They were so juicy and delicious, it melts in your mouth. ****This would be a 10/10 but I am knocking down a point because it loses all its flavor when reheating it the next day. So 9/10!! *Jumbo Lump Crab Mac and Cheese - this was honestly really good, the mac and cheese was creamy and the crab tastes fresh. You can also order a lobster version of this dish! 10/10 *Mashed Potatoes - its literally a mountain of creamy delicious potatoes. ***Note that this does come with bacon for those who dont eat pork!!!! 10/10 *Baked Potato - my husband said he enjoyed it but he's had better 8.5/10 Dessert: *New York Style Cheesecake - this was the perfect way to end the night. The cheesecake itself is sooooo creamy and the crust on it was delicious, it paired perfectly with the strawberries 10/10 Overall: will come back again to try more menu items 10/10 read more

I've been to Pappas Bros. Steakhouse twice. The most recent visit was on a Friday evening for dinner with the family at 7. Their parking lot is valet only which is a pet peeve of mine. We had a reservation and we were seated promptly. Ambiance (4/5): Pappas Bros. Steakhouse has some old school charm which I always appreciate. It's an elegant restaurant. And a large restaurant at that. Despite the size of the restaurant, they were close to capacity. Which makes it a bit overcrowded. I imagine things are better outside of a weekend. Service (4/5): Service overall was friendly and attentive. No complaints. Drinks (4/5): Pappas has an extensive wine list which I feel is the way to go at a steakhouse. We shared an Austrian wine. They do a good job serving wine properly. Food (4.5/5): I've been to a good number of the high-end steakhouses in Houston and they all offer pretty much the same experience in my mind. Pricey, yet delicious, steaks. Family style sides a la carte. I went with the filet mignon (they have two sizes), medium rare (as this is the only legitimate option). And then I shared some potatoes a gratin with the fam. O and before I forget, they serve you with some complimentary bread and butter which is always a nice touch. The steak was perfectly cooked... you can't beat a good steak in my mind. Unlike the traditional preparation of potatoes au gratin, this version had bacon bits. Bacon on anything is a plus in my book. An exceptional meal, but you're going to pay for it. Overall, Pappas in the Galleria area makes for a nice, upscale dinner. read more

Recently experienced dinner at Pappas Bros Steak House, second visit. All in all it was a good experience. The servers were knowledgeable and attentive. The ambiance was quiet, dark and intimate. I started with an excellent old fashioned. Then we tried the beefsteak tomato as an appetizer. For dinner, we enjoyed tender filet mignon, creamy au gratin potatoes and tasty broccolini. And for dessert, we topped it off with the pecan pie - which seems to be a cake with pecans on top- it was warm and tasty. Pappas Bros is on my Houston's top steakhouse list. I recommend it. read more

We were warmly greeted and taken to our table by Catherine. She is lovely. Welcoming, friendly and professional. She wished us a happy anniversary, which was a nice touch. We were celebrating our 32 anniversary. We've lived in Houston area for 20+ years but somehow have not dined at Pappas Steak. We saw Chris Shepherd loves it and decided it was anniversary worthy! The food was outstanding. We are foodies. My favorite places has been Steak 48, Brennen's and maestros. This is by far the best steak I've had. My hubby and I agreed. Amazing. The sides were good, although I do love 48's crème brûlée corn. We had the au gratin potatoes. And crab cakes. We also had few cocktails and wine. All were lovely. Leslie was our server. She was attentive without hovering. I'd ask for her for our next visit because her service could not have been better. She's an asset to PS. Big shoutout to Angel, Carlos and Alberto for keeping our water glasses filled, clearing our table and boxing our food. These 3 gentlemen were professional and very good. Very. The only negative is we were seated in the back room and it had a TV. Baseball game. And 2 other tables were cheering and color-commentating the game. We are Astro fans. But this was our anniversary so it was not romantic. That was a bummer. read more

I'm not the biggest steak connoisseur so take this review with a grain of salt I suppose Made a reservation for 2 at 6pm on a Saturday and when we arrived we had to wait about 5-10 min for them to prep our table. Not a big deal honestly. Our server Peter was very nice and seemed knowledgeable about the restaurant and the menu. I felt that the service was a good mix of being attentive without being overbearing. We tried the crab cakes to start which were yummy with the accompanying sauce. The filet mignon was cooked well (again idk steak that well but it seemed good to me) with basic seasoning. The haricot vert was also cooked very basically but I love a vegetable with my meal so I enjoyed it a lot. I also tried the lychee martini which I thought was alright but definitely a bit overpriced for what it was. Definitely a special occasion kind of restaurant. The ambiance feels kind of old school (not in a bad way) and the attire is definitely more nicer/business casual read more

Classic flavors, a bit pricey. The most memorable dish was the dry aged ribeye. Perfectly cooked, nice crunch, aromatic dry aged flavor. We also got their crab cakes and crab mac and cheese. Good dollop of crab in each dish but nothing life changing. Very classic American flavors, and I would dare say the mac and cheese was a bit bland. For the price, portion was rather small - just enough for two. Dessert menu also contains all the classics: pie, cheesecake, creme brulee. Pecan pie was good portion but very very sweet. read more

Over the top best steakhouse scene in Houston! The service, food, cocktails, wine, and lounge atmosphere (in the front bar area) ranks high. Live pianist playing classic lounge tunes on a baby grand set the stage, along with super attentive service from Valerie, Sara, and manager Jack. I started w my usual Old Fashioned and transitioned to a Brunello with my meal. The scallop starter was perfect as it has a hint of spice. While the daily chef special sounded amazing, I opted for the Bar Entree Filet, medium rare, and mashed. Another stellar Houston culinary experience for the books. read more

We took the kids out for a nice dinner after reading reviews indicating Papa Bros. is kid friendly. And they were. The hostess and wait staff made us feel comfortable and welcome, and we saw several other families dining. This is a your typical clubby, dark wood, white tablecloth steakhouse. Pianist is the bar. Huge wine list. Excellent cocktails. Outstanding service but not overbearing or pretentious. The food was excellent as well. We started with the octopus and salads, then steaks and sides. My wagyu was melt in your mouth delicious. My daughter's lamb chops were perfectly cooked and flavorful. My husband said his New York strip was good but he feels like Ruth's Chris is more flavorful - maybe it's all the butter. Two of our children opted for the kids menu filet Mignon which was an amazing deal - 6 oz. Filet with fries for $30. The adults didn't have room for dessert but two kids ordered ice cream, which they enjoyed. We would return. read more

I will start by saying we came for my birthday and the food was great and everything we ordered we enjoyed. The service from the wait staff was also amazing. However, even though we had reservations we waited at the host stand for 15 minutes before being seated. And there isn't a good waiting area so we were just standing at the front by the door and it was super weird. We did get a dessert for the occasion which was yummy. But for the price and extra wait time I don't think I will be returning. The food wasn't special. read more

I've always loved the Pappas chain and regularly visit Pappas Seafood, so for my birthday I decided to finally try Pappas Steakhouse--and it did not disappoint. From the moment you walk in, the entrance is beautiful and sets the tone for an upscale, luxurious dining experience. The service was very attentive from start to finish, making the evening feel special and well taken care of. The steaks were incredibly juicy, tender, and truly melted in my mouth. The sides were very well portioned and perfect for sharing. The octopus was not what I expected--in the best way possible--exquisite, flavorful, and a pleasant surprise. To end the night, the chocolate cake was absolutely delicious and the perfect finish to an amazing birthday dinner. read more

Pappas Bros. Steakhouse is absolutely worth every bit of the praise it receives. If you are looking for a special occasion destination or simply want a steak prepared exactly how it should be this is it. Dining alone here still felt like a full experience from start to finish and never once felt overlooked or rushed. The service goes above and beyond and truly sets the standard for what hospitality at this level should be. Every interaction was polished attentive and thoughtful and it felt as though genuine care was given to making the meal exceptional. This is the level of service that should be expected in a restaurant of this caliber and here it is executed flawlessly. Each course was fantastic and memorable. The New York strip was cooked perfectly medium rare and packed with deep rich flavor. It was balanced beautifully and delivered exactly what a great steak should. Every selection throughout the meal felt purposeful and well executed. The wine list is as good as it gets and fully deserving of its reputation. The depth and quality of the selection elevate the entire experience and make it easy to find something truly special to accompany the meal. I cannot recommend Pappas Bros. Steakhouse enough. Whether dining alone or with others this is a place that delivers excellence at every level and stands as a benchmark for what a great steakhouse experience should be. read more

Service at this location is not good. Not sure what has happened, but if you are in for the experience, then this is not the location for you. The bartender was persistently rude and I felt like was more intent on turnover than service. Update: I received a call and a gift card from a corporate rep who said that I would get a call from a manager. Later in the week I received a phone call from Andre Franklin, a manager at the restaurant, who apologized that it has been 2 months and the guest services manager still has not contacted me. Andre said that they addressed the issue but said the conversation was confidential. I asked what issue was addressed and he said they don't want guests to feel like they aren't valued. I said that isn't the issues. I said that the issue is asking guests to move around when they are eating and then giving them attitude when they chose not to relocate. Then he said that the bar tender was instructed not to attempt to relocate guests who are dining at the bar. So, I presume the issue is resolved and I look forward to giving it another try next time. I am adding two stars to my review. read more

My husband and I are longtime, loyal Pappas customers and dine across multiple Pappas restaurants more than twice a month. Lobster is my favorite, and I've been ordering it at Pappas for years, so I'm very familiar with how it has traditionally been served. On Friday, 1/23/26, we went to celebrate our shared birthday and ordered a 4 lb lobster at $40 per pound. After being seated, we were informed the restaurant was experiencing electrical issues--steamers and fryers were down, the dining room was extremely cold, and staff mentioned the restaurant might not remain open. After waiting over an hour and a half, the lobster arrived and it was half a lobster cut lengthwise, with no legs and only one claw. The manager stated this now represents a "whole" lobster, which we found unacceptable given the price and wait. Before a replacement arrived, fire alarms repeatedly went off with evacuation announcements. Exhausted, and with my 76-year-old husband not feeling well, we asked for the lobster to be boxed to go. The next morning, we found it was simply two halves combined, dry and disappointing. Although the meal was comped, our birthday dinner was not the experience we expected. I appreciated the manager calling afterward to apologize. I sincerely hope Pappas reconsiders this method of serving lobster and restores the quality and presentation it has always been known for. Photos included for reference. read more

What doesn't go right at this place? It's the quintessential American steakhouse. Great service, excellent food, great wine. Timeless decor.

My thoughts: This is a traditional long standing family own chain restaurant that is been around the Houston TX area through out the up and down of the economy. And any restaurant can survive the harsh business world is A OK in my book. Plus they do serve good steak and maintain a reasonable price. Here is my scoring card for this restaurant: 1) Location: ( 5 Point ) - Great location for customer to see and find. Great parking for street parking and back side with parking lot parking. With Valet parking. 2) Decoration : (4 Point) - They still have the original decoration. Clean and looks good 3) Price: ( 2 point)- The price is competitive but still a little bit pricey compare to other same stars and type food they serve 4) Quality and Taste : ( 3 point)- The quality is good, food taste is good and portions are good. 5) Type of cuisine standard : ( 4 point) - The style of steak house they serve is pretty close to the way it was prepare all over TX and better. Not bad! Overall it's not bad and I thinks it's great to give it a try and let me know what you think. Go foodies Total max is 25 Score 18 Stars = 72% round up to 3 stars read more

I asked 2 employees if it was good and both looked at me like "seriously? Are you kidding??" Well for $26.90 for beef stew I was to say very very disappointed. I love snapping turtle soup and this was nothing more than Campbell chunky beef stew!!! Yuck. They really need to change their recipe and make it TRUE turtle soup OR simply rename it to beef stew!!! read more

Pappas Bros. Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Houston, Texas

The original uptown Pappa's Brothers Steakhouse is likely the best steakhouse I've been to in my life, and I've been to scores of them all over the United States. From the minute you walk in the door the perfection is present. Straight ahead is the display meat. To the right a very full old school piano bar. To the left ambiance is pure platinum. See photo. Beyond that is a main dining area. We were seated in the small more private side room by chance. It was a certainly hopping for a Monday night. The wait staff and hostess were exceptional. Every one was smiling and happy to be working, super knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The wine list was a tad on the expensive side for identical bottles elsewhere, but you get what you pay for and the onsite sommelier Josh was exceptional. So exceptional in fact that I kept my observation to myself. The bacon wrapped scallops were the best I've had. Eat the bread under the scallops!! The crab cake was very decent. The iceberg lettuce salad with blue cheese was insanely good for such a simple dish. The special for the night was bone in filet mignon topped with cold water lobster and asparagus and mashed. The steak melted in my mouth as did the extra tender yet firm asparagus. The desert cake was good, but could have been more chocolaty. I recommend without hesitation. 5 stars plus read more

I'd like to give a special shout out the manager Darren. We went to celebrate my mom's birthday and had a few hiccups during the dinner service and he handled it very professionally and promptly.

People, beware! I suppose just about everything has already been said and written about Houston's premier staple steakhouse. Then again--perhaps not everything. Let's explore together. Bad news first: Gentlemen, you should wear a jacket (business casual or similar). It's not that the well-educated, friendly, professional service crew--or their cool manager--wouldn't let you in or wouldn't serve you. The temperature is simply below room temperature. You should be prepared. Another unusual peculiarity: they don't accept any modern form of payment. No PayPal, no Zelle, no Apple Pay, no Google Pay, no texting. Only cash (the kind that folds--not jiggles) and physical (yeah!) credit cards. I imagine every time the phone rings, they fear it's the '70s calling to ask for their stuff back. I think I might have even seen a fax machine. The cell coverage is good, though. It's all a little strange. What to expect? You'll be greeted by professionals and pampered from the very beginning--doors held open, staff smiling, and truly attentive. Oh, did I mention I wear a prosthesis on one leg? I was seated quickly. Pure relief--no one had to see me go down like a sack of potatoes and make intimate contact between my nose and the floor.. Every time I moved, the guests and staff in this nearly fully booked restaurant parted like the Red Sea to let me through. (I checked--I didn't have foul breath. It was the prosthesis and cane that gave it away.) Deciding on your evening's menu is a breeze. I've tried, on several occasions: asparagus, crab mac & cheese, soupe du jour, crab cakes, filet mignon with sauce béarnaise, and rock lobster. Everything was excellent--served at the right temperature and nicely plated. Not hip-new-age-strange plated, but good-old-boys-Texas plated. Their wine list is short but exclusive, and of course, they seem capable of making you any cocktail you desire. Service is a little slower than usual--and I love it. It's perfect for a date night, giving you time to talk and be pampered. And they listen if you tell them you'd like to be served faster or slower. Pros, eh? If you've read this far, you may have forgotten about the payment situation. After one frugal but exquisite solo dinner, I realized I didn't have any of those ancient payment methods with me. The very understanding manager was a real darling: "Just come back tomorrow to settle the account." Not just pay--settle the bill like a real gentleman. So I returned, settled--and settled into the cozy chair at my favorite corner table for another perfect dinner. This time, I had a three-course meal assembled entirely from the side dish menu. Try it. It's worth it. I always try to give my stars in a way that reflects whether I got what I paid for. Pappas Bros. Steakhouse is not cheap--neither in the damage it does to your wallet nor in the experience, service, quality, and pampering it provides. This is, quite simply: 5 stars. read more

We had a fantastic experience at this steakhouse. The food was excellent and the service truly stood out. Although there was a little hiccup with our food taking longer than expected, our very kind waiter more than made up for it by bringing us a crab cake while we waited, and it turned out to be one of the best crab cakes I've ever had. Our waiter, an older African American gentleman (I wish I could remember his name!), was incredibly accommodating and thoughtful with our two children. He even offered to have my filet mignon sliced in the kitchen since I had my velcro baby attached to me, which made it so much easier to enjoy. The filet was juicy and tender, and paired perfectly with the bottle of Opus One we ordered. Our toddler absolutely loved the sea bass. We finished the meal by sharing a chocolate dessert and cheesecake, both huge and absolutely delicious. As a sweet extra touch, our waiter offered to take a family photo for us. At first we didn't plan on it, but decided why not, and I'm so glad he suggested it. Now we have a wonderful photo memory from a truly special evening. Highly recommend this place for the great food, excellent wine, and above all, the warm, attentive service that made our night so memorable. read more

The best tasting filet I've enjoyed in a long time! Starters and sides were excellent, warm and cosy bread service to begin, well dressed Caesar salad, with potatoes Au gratin, house mashed potatoes and the creamed spinach to complete our feast. I preferred the pecan pie over the turtle cake because I love pecans but both were a lovely way to end the meal with a well brewed drip coffee and cream. Service was so professional and attentive, well trained and appreciated! The space is designed with many rooms within one building, connected with interior windows and doorways all viewing the open kitchen diffusing the volume that can accompany those beautiful wood floors and classic steakhouse vibe.

Not sure how I hadn't tried Pappa's Steakhouse yet being they are Houston, but it was an excellent experience for me. Where to start? Nice old school ambiance, piano player in the bar area, excellent service, and the largest wine list I've yet to see anywhere yet--it's the holy grail Bible of wines! On to the food. All delish.

I visited Pappas Bros Steakhouse in Houston, TX on Tuesday, 7/2/24, around 8 PM. I came here solo to celebrate my birthday. I ordered: *Kiwi Daiquiri *Oysters *Lobster Deviled Eggs *Filet Mignon (10 oz) topped with grilled onions *Loaded Baked Potato *Jumbo Lump Crab Mac & Cheese The cocktail drink was amazing. The flavor of the Lobster Deviled Eggs and the Jumbo Lump Crab Mac & Cheese was tasty. The cook on the Filet Mignon was wonderful and it was seasoned well. The oysters were super fresh. The baked potato did not disappoint. What stood out to me was the phenomenal hospitality from Robert. He was such a pleasant, attentive, and kind server. I truly appreciated his spectacular customer service. I also had the pleasure of meeting the restaurant manager, Jack. He was a pleasure to talk to. He ensured that I had everything I needed and thanked me for coming out to this restaurant. The indoor ambiance was beyond gorgeous. It had an inviting feel. The live music from the piano was a nice touch of entertainment. The setup at the table was beautiful.

Another absolutely amazing birthday celebration at Pappas Steakhouse on Westheimer! We live out of town now but drove in two hours last night to meet our kids and their spouses. It was the best birthday night dinner and service we've ever had. This restaurant is ALWAYS top notch and a cut above any other place in Houston but last night was absolute perfection! Michael Maldanado took care of us with the most incredible service from the moment we walked in. I've always seen attentive and service by all the employees at Pappas over the years, but Michael took it to a whole new level. What a wonderful employee and great guy!

I can't quite express our satisfaction from this meal in a single post, but I will try. My fiancé and I were gifted a gift certificate for our engagement from his boss, and wanted to celebrate our engagement together. We had never been to this establishment before, and boy were we missing out. We arrived to a complimentary valet, and the most beautiful outdoor atmosphere. Everything was incredibly clean; and we were greeted immediately upon entering the restaurant. We had a reservation for 5 pm but showed up a little early. We were able to get a drink at their beautiful bar area and bring it to the table with us. Once we were at our table, we were truly blown away by every detail of our meal. From having towels to cleanse our hands, to the delicious flakey bread (but don't worry about crumbs, they'll squeegee that up), to our PERFECTLY cooked steaks. I ordered my steak rare and my fiancé ordered his medium rare. There truly was a beautiful distinction between the two. My fiancé had oysters, and found a new variety he loved and hadn't had before! Everything was beyond delicious. Beyond the food, the service is unmatched. We were blown away by the caliber of care we received. We anticipated a nice dinner, but not a luxury meal. Every cog of this restaurant was oiled and running smoothly. We felt so cared for, from the water never being empty, to never having dirty plate in front of you, to simply folding your napkin when you're in the restroom. From management down to the newest buss boy, everyone was on their game. After an already mind blowing meal, with some of the best service we've ever had (and we've been to Michelin star restaurants). We were surprised with these beautiful desserts congratulating us on our engagement. They were delicious and despite eating our entire meals, we couldn't help but eat the entire desserts too. Very seldom do I leave a restaurant without left overs, not because they didn't give us enough, but we couldn't stop eating. read more

Top tier steakhouse and one of the most popular in Houston. Service was A+ and the wait was minimal after making reservations on OpenTable. The meat here is of the highest quality and was delicious but I did unfortunately have to send it back due to it being undercooked, less than the med rare I asked for. It was surprising that a top steakhouse would not have their temperatures perfect but maybe there was a new guy in the back. Overall though I would likely return next time I'm in town. read more

Went there and it had met all expectations. Service and food were great. The steaks are dry aged and menu had plenty of choices.

Never before left two reviews for the same restaurant, but just had to leave another one so I could sing my praise for this place. Steakhouses are all over our city. Most of them are high-end. But nobody does it in Houston like Pappas Bros. Server Michael is an absolute craftsman who has perfected the restaurant-going experience. Take some time to observe the management and how this place carries out service. It's unlike anything you'll see elsewhere. And the food is just so perfectly consistent and exceptional you wouldn't complain if the bill was twice as much. Celebrate your biggest occasions in life here.

Best ribeye I've ever had (I'm 70). Creamed spinach the best I've ever had. Octopus carpaccio was outstanding. Service was way beyond expectations (thanks Alex) from managers to waiter to staff. Gets a little loud but who cares when you're being served the best food by the best staff. Already made future reservations. read more

One of the best dating places. Good location, amazing (and great amount of) food - my lobster tastes sweet and fresh - best I've ever had! Drink is decent, good matches with food. Service is impressive - our waiter Robert is passionate about food and sent us complimentary dessert for anniversary!! Great dining experience and will come back again. read more
