Houlihan's in is the Galleria so it's easy to find parking in the parking garage there. We came late on a Saturday and also had one of their $10 of $30 coupons so it was a perfect time to try it out. Surprisingly for being nearly 9pm there were quite a few diners. The thing I didn't like was how near we were seated to the bar area, because a few of the people hanging out there were very loud and on the verge of obnoxious. I also didn't like how dark the dining area was, I had to use the flashlight on my phone in order to ready the menu. Our waitress Mary was very polite and kept the meal moving along at a perfect pace as well as keeping our beverages topped off. Didn't have any idea what kind of food they served here but a quick scan of the menu it appeared that they are trying to be a higher end chain restaurant. My husband started with the house salad and it looked awesome, you could smell the bacon on it as soon as it got to the table. It was loaded with fresh corn, tomatoes, shredded white cheddar and croutons all on top of a hearty bed of shredded lettuce (my favorite cause it's easy to eat!) He went with the Pot Roast. He said parts of the meat were tough which should never be the case with a pot roast and that the carrots were a little too al dente. Flavor was good and the crispy fried onions in top have a nice crunchy contrast. I went with the Scallops. 8 nice sized scallops surrounded a creamy risotto that had tiny little disks of asparagus running throughout. It was topped with a hearty helping of arugula. It could have used more salt but the scallops were cooked well and cleaned well so I guess I couldn't complain. Overall the meal was good but nothing spectacular. It seemed like they try to make more high-end dishes to compete with fancier restaurants, but the overall wow factor when comparing to one of those restaurants is lacking. Would I come back, maybe if I got invited to something, otherwise not likely.
