    This is one of Houston’s best restaurants. Very good steak and arguably even better pastas. The Rigatoni in Vodka sauce is better than Carbone’s and their Lobster fra diavolo is stunningly good. Their Italian favorites like Veal Parm and Veal Milanese are also remarkable. The atmosphere and live piano music is the frosting on the cake. It’s a updated version Gene and Georgetti (Chicago).

    This is in the San Luis hotel. Nice classy place. Christmas decorations were all around. The restaurant was fancy. Subtle lighting. We were greeted at the door and all the way to the table by servers and management. The food came hot and tasty. After our meal we received a surprise complimentory cheesecake for our anniversary. A great dining experience for sure.
