I frequent Houston's for dinner. My office is in the Esplanade and I can walk there after work.
As a favor to some of the previous reviewers, here are a few tips.
1. Please be mindful of the placard at the entrance of the restaurant. Hats, cut-off jeans, swim wear, sleeveless shirts, and cell phones are not allowed. You may be able to get away with the cell phone; the dress code is strictly enforced. Houston's is a unique restaurant that has a vast client base due to its ambience and food quality. They respectfully request you to not wear your "sweat pants" and find a pair of jeans and polo.
2. Houston's has an innovative approach to service. You do not have one waiter, you have a team of waiters. This is to ensure your glass is always full an your well take care off. Do not be offended if you see multiple servers. As long as your being well taken care off, who cares?
They have an amazing veggie plate that includes fresh seasonal steamed veggies. It changes frequently, but I am a huge fan.
If you are in the mood for a steak, Houston's is a great place to be. Another personal favorite.
