    Five steps up from main dining area...very quiet at 6pm, but server said the noise level raises significantly by 7pm.

    We went during restaurant week when great three course meals were offered at $55 (a savings of around $25-50). Plenty of close in free parking with a valet to watch over the lot. Quiet, not crowded at 6 pm, good service. A date night can easily cost $200-300, so come prepared... it is worth it.

    Action seats!

    Highly Recommend! We had the action bar seats in the middle of the restaurant by the fire pits and cooks. It was really cool and fun. Staff was excellent and the steaks were good! Great service and the restaurant was very nice and organized with good ambiance. Service was excellent. Staff were very nice and helpful. Food was excellent. Everything we had was fresh. NEGATIVE - they try and charge a 3% service fee which is ridiculous excuse for any place and tell them to remove it when your bill comes.

    This is their "filet"... more like ground chuck steak. The chef even came out and confirmed that this was their high quality filet

    Terrible. This is their "filet". I made a complaint and the chef came out and talked down to me like I've never been to a steak restaurant before. Worst steak experience I've ever had.

    Phenomenal! Came for a birthday dinner and everything was phenomenal. As you walk in you are greeted with friendly faces. Place is kept clean and you see them constantly cleaning through out. Felix was our waiter and he was very friendly and attentive. Him and another guy assured our cups were never empty and our table was clean and clear. He also explained the menu and did recommendations. Host in pretty purple outfit was also very attentive and shows the team they are. We sat in the back were you can see everything being cooked. For drinks I do the lavender lemonade, very refreshing with a kick of citrus. For food I did the 8oz filet classic. Perfectly cooked with the prime sauce. Still can't point wha taste it had but I got a hint of tamarindo but can be totally wrong. Ooos forgot to mention the chicken fried. Lobster was a bite size with plenty of flavor. Bone marrow was melting in every bite similar to beef tallow. Yup we did the porter house! Perfect size for 2, perfect for 2. Per my son so good! Nothing left behind. As for sides we did loaded mash potatoes, which sure were loaded with flavor. Each spoonful had meat, potatoes, cheese and so much more. With the side of truffle side. I loved that it was put as option as myself find the flavor too strong. Mac and cheese were giant shells with lots of flavor. Very creamy and cheesy in each bite. Spicy tuna was delish! Each bite was full of flavor. Dessert, my favorite part! Went for the chocolate cheesecake off the menu. It was smooth chocolate taste similar to mousse. The prime dessert had a scoop of vanilla with a crunch of pecans with melted not sure if it's cookie or brownie but perfect combo. Birthday dessert was similar to flan with mango flavor and raspberry scoop of ice cream. They have limited self parking as well as valet parking.

    With so many gems in Houston, I am glad I came across this place. I was looking for a place that offered Steak and Sushi and this amazing place popped up. Prime 131 was tucked away in the Heights area. I think it's a great place to check out during the week after work or during the week as a date night. The vibes inside are very romantic and cozy. I started the night off with the Tequila Twilight, which was a well balanced of sweet and tequila. I paired the food together with the mini crab cakes. The crab cakes were so tasty, I didn't have a chance to snap a picture but the freshness and crispness of the crab cakes didn't last long on my plate. I am definitely torn between the short rib and the 8 oz steak but if I had to choose again, I think I would have to go with the short rib. The short rib was grilled to perfection, yet very tender!! The mash potatoes also had short rib mixed in so I am not sure I would order the short rib and mash potatoes together again. All and all the food and atmosphere was 10/10.

    This was my pick for my solo Mother's Day weekend dinner. It has been on my list for quite some time. I made a reservation online, valet was right there to take my car (price:8.00). I sat at their wood fire bar. It was great. I ordered the filet and spinach along with the Cosmobelle to drink. The service was on point and I never had to look for her. The steak was cooked to perfection and they sliced it as requested. The chef sent me a little gift to try which was a whitefish sushi roll. I will be booking again

    Date night approved! So many good options for fine dining now in houston but I took a shot in the dark and decided to try prime 131 for our monthly date night and they did not disappoint at all. The food was amazing! We just decided to try the recommended starters from our waitress, a sushi roll and dessert. We literally left no food behind lol. The bone marrows and the lobster bites were top tier! I will have to say we did come during dinner around 6:30 and as time went on they got increasingly busy and service started declining. We were flagging down waiters for request. For the price we are paying to dine here and for this to be a five star, I think that should be improved. Other than that the overall dining experience was exceptional. We will definitely be back to try other items on the menu!

    Prime 131 was a must! We went for our Anniversary Dinner BUT I like a good deal so we made it just in time for a little Happy Hour! The margaritas are amazing! We had margaritas, oysters and 2 sushi rolls. All were soooo good! We were stuffed after that but we still wanted to have our "fancy" Anniversary Dinner which the spot is very that...fancy, lights dimmed and all of that..so we stayed and ordered a steak and macaroni for us to share. Both were cooked perfectly. The service was tip notch at the bar and the table. We are definitely going back for that happy hour! To toooo good!

    A steakhouse/ sushi bar restaurant that has a rustic, high end vibe. Good: - Bone in filet and Miso Cod was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. - Mac and cheese was also delicious. - The asparagus side had a base sauce that tasted like sweet hummus mixed with their version of pico de gallo. Bad: - I don't like restaurants that adds in extra costs (3% operating fee). Why not just bake it into the price? The price point is already on the higher end and I just feel like I'm getting nickled and dimed. - Server brought out the wrong check. I think it was an honest mistake. But you can't make mistakes like this at this caliber. - Side portions are smaller than I had anticipated. Overall: I would come back. It's worth a try.

    It's a fun space with neon signs and an open wood grill kitchen. The service was very nice and accommodating. We went for a dinner with friends, and everything was good. We all shared a bunch of sushi to start, and it was all top notch. I had the lobster, which was delicious. I was skeptical about being good at multiple things (sushi, wood fire grill?), but I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't take lot of pictures, the friends are also vendors that were taking us out. We were confused by the menu online, but were pleasantly surprised by how great everything was.

    My birthday falls in August, which means I get to celebrate during Houston Restaurant Weeks. Lucky me! I was looking for a spot that could accommodate a large group, and to my surprise, I found out The BB Group has opened so many new hot spots. I don't go out much these days, so I was thrilled to discover them. Booking was quick and easy. I reserved Prime 131 for a group of 20-25. The manager was great and let me know they had a smaller room available (not completely private, but private enough), which worked perfectly for us. Parking was a breeze with both valet and a private garage offering free parking. When I walked in, I was immediately impressed by the aesthetics. I wish I'd had a chance to tour the whole restaurant, but I went straight to our table. Our entire group ordered from the HRW menu, and we were pleasantly surprised...the portions were full-sized apps, entrées, and desserts. What a deal! And the food? Outstanding. Out of 20 people, not a single unhappy mouth! Service was equally impressive! They happily split the bills for everyone and even cut our cake at no extra charge. I couldn't be happier with my choice, and everyone in our group agreed. Prime 131 made my birthday celebration unforgettable! Photos included.

    After driving past Prime 131 numerous times, we finally decided to give it a try and made a reservation for our Saturday date night. The restaurant is located in Timbergrove, tucked among residential subdivisions in a small strip repurposed from machine shops. Although the lot is spacious and the only other business sharing the lot is a small CrossFit gym, parking is valet only for $8, which seems unreasonable given the location. The industrial vibe interior was spacious with dim lighting. They even kept some of the original equipment/fixtures. While we expected this to a steak restaurant, the menu surprisingly has a lot of seafood/sushi options. For appetizers, we ordered the chilled eastern oysters (5/5, flavored with ponzu and wasabi, excellent ), roasted oysters (4/5, Thai style), mini crab cakes (3/5, pretty mid) and dinosaur bone marrow (3.5/5, smelled great while grilling in the open kitchen, nice presentation, pretty good flavor but not too content). For the main, we split the USDA Prime porterhouse for 2 loaded with crab meat (4.5/5), cooked perfectly medium rare, very tender and seasoned well. For sides, we shared grilled asparagus (5/5), broccolini (4/5) and exotic wild mushrooms (4/5). We ended the meal with lemon and lime (a fun dessert came with a little hammer, 5/5) and skillet fudge (classic, 4/5). Overall enjoyed our dinner experience. We didn't really explore the sushi menu, will give it a try another time.

    this is a cute upscale restaurant in the heights right off 11th street .. decor is dark and romantic, kind of outdoorsy but in an upscale way. The service was great, didn't have to ask for anything because she was very attentive, the food was perfectly made and very flavor .My steak was well done (which i asked for) and it was made well done . Overall, a vibe i'll come back to .

    Basque cheesecake. Really delicious with the nice components.

Regarding the food, the Frisée Salad was pretty good, well dressed and flavorful. The chicken sandwich was okay. The batter was crispy and flaky but it had no flavor. What made it a lot better was the coleslaw that brought a great deal of tang and moisture. The steak was not quite for me. It came on a bed of sauce that was flavorful with fresh veggies but it did not go well with the steak. Perhaps chicken would've suited better. The steak itself was dry and quite chewy. For dessert we had the carrot cake tres leches which was decent. The carrot cake flavor was there but the moisture from the cake was not fully spread in the cake. Overall nothing here was bad but with the plethora of restaurants in the Houston area I can't justify recommending or returning.

We walked and and you had to have reservations however they had 2 spots at the bar upstairs so we sat there. It was a fine dining place and we were a bit casual but still nice where we didn't stick out so terribly..lol SERVICE: We were probably at the bar I would say at least 10 mins before anyone greeted us. And 2 ladies to our right may have been there I would say about 15 mins before us, only b/c they didn't have anything in front of them just yet. Looked like thwy hadn't been there long, however, evwrytime I turned around this guy kept checking on them making sure they were good. He seemed to be some sort of manager. Anyhoo, finally a server came and greeted us. She had a unique name that now I have forgotten, but anyhoo, she was really nice. It was restaurante month there so we took advantage of there pre-made menu that came with a 3 course meal excluding drinks. We were served our drinks and not to long our apps. And the ladies next to us may have been 5 mins in between us ordering. However their food would come out fast. Once our apps were finished I know it had to have been 20 mins or longer before our food came out whereas the ladies next to use finished there apps not to long before us and had their food in the next 10 mins or so. They were actually just about done eating their main course and our food hadn't even came out yet. Then a server brought us over the desserts and I was like we hadn't had our meal yet. At this point I was a bit upset b/c I felt like since we were 2 women of color we were being over looked. There wasn't many ppl of color in this place. Matter-of-fact I think I only saw one other table that had ppl of color sitting at it. Other than that it was just us. So I th3n ask for a manager. He came, same guy that had been fawning over the ladies next to us, amd he gave some lame excuse for th3 delay and mix up with the desserts and offered us a glass of Champagne, I don't even like Champagne, he could have offered either a drink of our choice of maybe a bit off the bill for the delay. I understood it was busy, but they also know it was restaurant week and they wasn't a delay with the ladies next to us. So I felt like he was a bit dismissive and I did t appreciate it. If it hadn't been for the service or our waiter we might not have stayed. FOOD: Now I will say the food was soo good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the beef salad although it came stacked and looked so great and my friend had the meatballs which she raved about. For dinner we both had the salmon which was superb. So no complaints here. Then the desserts. I had the carrot cake and she had the chocolate genache cake. They were delightful AMBIANCE: It was packed but not uncomfortable it was just a lot of ppl. But it also was quite a big place. They had a downstairs, upstairs and an outside area, so lots of seating, however they were extremely full. The bar was quite roomy and luckily we were able to take the end corner part which was perfect, b/c not a lot of ppl passing by us. Like we had our own little section. All in all is was nice, I would only go back during restaurant month or with a date who was paging b/c outside the prepaid menu which was $55 (not including drinks) most meals went from $40-$200pp and that is no exaggeration. So yea it was quite the fine dining experience.
