Where is the Best Steak in Houston, Texas?
This Brazilian steakhouse is a pricey endeavor. It is a world class steakhouse nessled in between a sushi house and Montrose. The waiters are dressed in gaucho attire and hover around you bringing savory cuts of seasoned meats around to you. While you marvel at the cuts, they slice off pieces of heaven on to your plate. The meat might be the focus of the restaurant, but the vegetable and the salad bar are on par with it too. Grilled artichokes as well as various cheeses and other vegetables populate this often overlooked section. I would recommend ordering a bottle of wine with your meal and going all out, because this place is for celebrations. It might be expensive, but I say splurge.Pros + DeliciousCons – Expensive
My husband and I had dinner at Chez Nous on Sat, Dec. 21. We had the chef’s tasting menu. The dining room is formal, but not stuffy or snobby. We were welcomed at the door and promptly shown to our table, even though we were about 20 minutes early.The first course was a mushroom bisque. The flavors were well developed and not overpowering. The portion was small because the soup was very rich. (I commented that it was basically a delicious bowl of mushroom gravy, and if someone was going to put a bowl of it in front of me, I was going to eat it and like it!)The second course was a single diver scallop. It was perfectly seared and placed atop some creamy seafood orzo.Our third course included Chez Nous’ own charcuterie–a pate of cold braised pork shoulder that was well seasoned and served with field greens and crunchy baguette croutons.We ordered an extra appitizer of seared foie gras. It was served with fresh berries, a honey viniagrette and traditional French melba toast. For our
It’s been awhile since I visited Ruth’s, but the steaks are just as good as always. They serve the best filet you can find, bar none. The stuff lobster tail appeared to be of the prepaired frozen variety and doesn’t stand up to the balance of their offerings. Sides were great, but again $2-$3 more than most Houston Steakhouses. Wines are overpriced with too much mark-up based on competition (ie-Kim Crawford SavBlanc was $40, had a bottle a week ago at Reef for $25) and that was the low end of the list. Most wines were 2-1/2 to 3 times retail, way out of line. The first two bottles of wine we ordered weren’t available, so the somelier offered us a bottle complements of him. It was a nice entry level bottle, but a very nice gesture.Pros + Excellent Steaks and Side DishesCons – Wine is Overpriced and many wines not in stock
