Haha I guess I'm updating my review. I just wanted to add pictures…read more Well still my favorite place to get a great steak and even better bistro burger. Houston's is a great place to go when you're looking for a little bit class and lots of quality. Everything is great from the apps to the mains. Plus the service is so kind and helpful. Still no high chair or booster seat option for the kiddos. A true 5/5 Always an easy recommendation.

Amazing experience at Arroyo Chop House! Saturday night 7:30…read morePM and I arrive with no reservation. The wonderful hostess was so kind to accommodate us. After a short wait, we seated in a comfortable booth and greeted by our server Seth. He was a real professional waiter and guided us through the menu with several recommendations. We settled on garlic and sourdough bread, a fillet, cowboy ribeye, caramelized whole-kernel corn, and scalloped potatoes. Let me just say the entire meal was amazing. I would order the everything thing again tonight if I could go back. The ribeye was seared perfectly with a nice crust and yet medium rare on the inside. Don't even think about sauce because the steak has so much flavor. Nothing is needed. When we were not too decisive about dessert, Seth recommended pineapple sorbet to close off the night and cleanse the pallet. It was the perfect choice. Highly recommend and I will return next time I'm in Pasadena.

I've been coming here since 2013, and it's a tradition for me to come here for my birthday…read more Sometimes it's crowded, and sometimes it's on the slower side. There are no specific dates. Bread (half and half): Usually amazing, but on my most recent visit, the bread was a bit overbaked. It was a bit tough to eat. Truffle Mac&Cheese: I love it, and you can actually taste the truffle. Tomahawk: Amazing, it's always moist and tender. I appreciate that they will cut it for you as well, so it's easier to share. Bonus is being able to take the giant bone home for the dogs. Soufflé: This is the reason why this is my favorite steakhouse. You need to order at the beginning so the chefs have time to make it, but it's so good. I look forward to eating this every time I dine here. Service: Everyone is very nice and attentive. I've never had an issue with any of the staff here. Parking: They have valet parking, and there is also a decent amount of street parking as well.

Came here to celebrate my birthday, and it was such a memorable experience from start to finish!…read more When we were seated, there was already a birthday card waiting for me at the table, which was such a thoughtful surprise. They provided complimentary bread service with their butter trio and it was incredible! Each butter had its own unique flavor, and every type of bread was warm and delicious. We ordered the grilled octopus as our appetizer, and it was perfectly cooked. It was tender with a nice char and beautifully plated with chorizo. We asked for the bone marrow to come out with the bone-in ribeye, and I'm so glad we did. Spreading the rich, buttery bone marrow onto the steak made every bite even better. The bone-in ribeye was cooked perfectly with a beautiful crust while staying juicy and flavorful inside. Our server even suggested saving some of the butter to enjoy with the steak later, which ended up being a great recommendation. We also ordered the Wagyu fried rice, which was tasty with the roe. The broccolini was a great side. Can't go wrong with that. To end the night, they surprised us with sparkling grapefruit/champagne, a birthday dessert and cotton candy. This was an unforgettable dining experience. It's definitely a splurge, but absolutely worth it for a special occasion. We can't wait to come back!

I recently visited Alexander's Steakhouse for a birthday dinner and overall had a pleasant…read moreexperience. The portions were decent and the ambiance was great with warm lighting, comfortable seating, and a refined atmosphere that made the evening feel special. We ordered the 18 ounce ribeye, the cod cioppino, and the mushrooms and bread as sides. Everything was generous in portion, but the ribeye was cooked a little too much for my liking and lacked the distinctive char/fragrance that usually accompanies steaks at steakhouses. The manager was nice enough to exchange the ribeye for us with one that was on the rarer side which I appreciated. That said, I really appreciated the thoughtful birthday dessert they surprised me with. It was a nice personal touch that helped round out the night. Overall, a solid steakhouse whose accompaniments outshine the steaks in my opinion.

Phenomenal. From start to finish, absolutely phenomenal…read more Had a reservation for my husbands birthday. Unfortunately his flight got delayed and we had to change it to the following day. They did so effortlessly and were so kind about it! We started our meal with happy hour in the bar. The Cabernet and brown butter old fashioned were very good. The ahi appetizer....oh my. Heavenly is an understatement. It was amazing. After happy hour we went to the dining room. We were lucky enough to be sat in Cora's section. As a former service manager, I am very critical of service. I can honestly say that Cora was one of the best servers we have ever had. So knowledgeable about the menu, very friendly, checked back at the perfect moments....Ruths Chris is incredibly lucky to have her. The menu was personalized and said "Happy Birthday Mike," there was confetti on the table and there was even a birthday card. This location sure knows how to make guests feel special! We both ordered the filet and lobster meal. Everything was absolutely INCREDIBLE. The warm bread, huge side salad, perfectly cooked filet and lobster, melt in your mouth spinach and mashed potatoes.... Absolute PERFECTION. Then creamy cheesecake and berries....yum yum yum. The managers were also wonderful. So friendly and genuinely thankful for our visit. My birthday is in August and I already told my husband, that I'd like to celebrate my birthday here too! Ideally in Cora's section! Thank you for the perfect evening!

This steakhouse is spacious, inviting, and knows exactly how to help you celebrate a special…read moreoccasion! I've celebrated a birthday and Mother's Day here thus far; the attention to detail was next level. As an example, they pre-printed the birthday girl's name on her menu - she was so touched and it was an unexpected gesture, which truly made for a nice touch on an already splendid dinner. Prices are on the higher end, but fitting for the quality, taste and share-ability. Portions are generous enough. I always end up ordering way more than necessary, and people often leave with leftovers for later. My personal favorite is the sweet potato pecan/praline. YUMMMMMM. Give it a try if you like sweet potato and a nicely decadent glaze. You can't go wrong with the steak or shrimp here, as well. The filet mignon is divine. I wasn't too crazy about some of the salads and starters I tried, like the Brussel sprouts and house salad. Always best to plan ahead at a steakhouse and this one is no different. Make a reservation in advance and you shouldn't have to wait for long. Note which area you'd like to sit in if you have a preference. We tend to park in the underground garage across the street since finding parking in the immediate area can be a pain.

Are you searching for almost authentic comida de Portenos. A non-stop flight to Buenas Aires (about…read more12 hours) and you could be digging into your perfect Parrillada at Estilo Campo. Definitely worth the hassle. Or you could endure a 2 hour slog up the 5 Fwy (which makes the 12 hour flight sound good) and enjoy excellent Argentine cuisine here. Then when you get there, parking is not just a challenge, it's a mystery. Street parking only so prepare to be creative and lucky. The vintage building is attractive. Pitted carved concrete and Malibu tiles. Step inside and be greeted by a genuine warm smile and and someone that is happy to see you, and if your luck is holding the Host will invite you to a take a short shuffle to a huge booth where you can make a comfy nest. The Decor is a charcoal gray box with a dining room filled with 2 and 4 tops, a communal table or two, a private dining room and a curbside patio if you insist. Malbec is a perfect place to celebrate a Quinceanera, a non-Kosher Bar Mitzvah, a Golden Shower Retirement, a Gender Reveal, a Gender Conceal or that your substandard Insurance Co. will actually pay for your GPL-1 meds which you might need after over eating great food here. The patio outside is good if the tango loop inside is too loud, but then you're just trading that for unmuffled mufflers and exhaust fumes. At 5:00 PM it's just you and the Chorizo Sampler which is worth it's weight in Statins. The place reinvents itself by 8:00 PM when the chatter ratchets up and the dining room becomes a B. A. Social Club. The din of diners bounces around the room like a soccer ball at a Fifa Match. (Argentina is the reigning champion). The Staff: Rosa is delightful. A girl that never says no and someone who knows how to pull up the reins and spur the pony (read take charge and enhance your experience). The Bar: This long counter anchors the room and delivers what ever your poison might be. The Food: Malbec boasts a huge menu and all of it is good to great. Within minutes of settling in a Runner runs up to your table and sets down a basket of warm Bread with a cup of Chimichurri Sauce to dunk dip, drag and/on dredge your Bread in. The Malbec Salad was large enough to feed everyone in the Recoleta at sundown. Fresh Romaine, Radicchio, Goat Cheese crumbles, a hand carved Avocado fan (I'm a big fan of that), quartered Cucumber Coins, Frisee Lettuce, a sizable slice of toasted Bread, the large mound is mixed with a Caesar-ish Dressing and the whole pile is fresh, refreshing, tasty and a great dish to begin your dinner with. The menu is ambitious to say the least. Heroic lists of Appetizers, Pastas, Pizza, Mains, Seafood, Steaks, Sides, Sauces and Desserts. The Kitchen is fearless because they know they can crank out everything on the menu properly. And you know, they can. I opted for Pollo Las Hierbas (Herb Roasted Chicken), spatchcocked (back cone removed and the whole half Chicken squashed flat for quick and easy grilling). Did I mention that the portions are substantial? They are. The Chicken begins it's journey soaking in Lemon and Herbs. For an additional $2 you can bury the whole bird with Diabla Sauce. (read Spicy Chili Gravy). This Sauce would be delicious over julienned Gym Socks or Dust Bunnies. The welcome heat is delicious even if you're timid with spice. The Chicken arrives tender but with crisp edges, juicy and tasting like Chicken could and should taste. While the Chicken was definitely marinated it's hard to determine if it was brined first. No matter as it was spot on great. The Chicken Chef was not chicken and got it right. The Sauteed Spinach retained it's Spinach integrity and was fished out of the water while still slightly toothy. Excellent. The Kitchen elevated Spinach beyond Pop-Eye's power surge urge. This was beyond just a Side Dish. Vegans, have at it. The Roasted Potatoes were also good enough to enjoy as a Main. Really crunchy nuggets with creamy centers. This place not only offers fine comida de la gente, the restaurant is efficient but doesn't rush. Want to enjoy sobremesa? (relaxing time after dinner to discuss politics, religion, sex and gossip about the people you've just dined with). Sobremesa (literally means around the table) is a charming and civilized concept. Spanish culture doesn't like to hurry. So share the sad, glad, mad personal issues that go best after Dessert. Malbec, prings back sweet memories of a morning Cortado and a Media Luna at Oriente Coffee Bar. Malbe, I'll be back.
