vic & anthony's steakhouse

another one of my favorites

love vic and anthony’s. their food andserviceare excellent each and every time we visit. i enjoy their live maine lobster while my husband has the steak. it’s one of our go to places

excellentserviceand outstanding food. started with drinks from the bar, then oysters rockefeller, finished with a filet that was perfectly cooked.

great steakhouse. the shrimp cocktails, crab cakes, and oyster rockefeller were great appetizers. salads were great and the steak was superb; all of our steaks came out perfectly cooked.

i'd rate the food an easy 4/5 and theservice5/5. the food is reasonably priced for what it is.

couple complaints. this is a very noisy restaurant, even for a monday night.

now, the thing that turned me off from this place was the wine list. don't get me wrong, the wine list is extensive featuring some great vintages. this is where my issue lies: i went to order my usual caymus 40th anniversary only to be taken aback when it's priced at $395. a bottle of this wine retails for $60-$80. an up charge of over 400% pisses me off; it feels like robbery.

all in all this is a nice steakhouse and i would recommend it.

regarded by many as one of the better steakhouses in houston.serviceand food preparation are top-notch. there are a couple of things i've had (other than steaks) that have risen to the top of my recollection and i highly recommend. the jumbo lump crab cake, finished with a chive beurre blanc, quite possibly may be the best crab cake in the greater houston area. and a dessert, when they have it, their croissant bread pudding, served with a homemade caramel ice cream. both spectacular.

came here for a business dinner and was extremely happy with the wine and after dinner cocktail selection.  the steaks were perfectly cooked and theservicewas exemplary!  their mashed potatoes and creamed spinach sides are my favorite.  must make a reservation as they always seem to be full!

fancy, traditional, best cuts of meat!. if you want a traditional upscale steakhouse. this is it!serviceis #1 here. from the bread to dessert this is it.
the beef is delicious. this is also great to people watch also. tables are close. if you don't like that make sure you make a reservation for the large booths.

one of the best steakhouses not only in houston but anywhere. food andservicealways top notch.

birthday celebration for two hungry meat lovers.. vic & anthony's in downtown houston was everything and more of what we expected. my friend's and my first visit after being recommended by my father - one of his favorite restaurants. my buddy was celebrating his birthday. we both ordered the colorado organic lamb chops, truly delicious. for sides we selected asparagus and brussel sprouts - both excellent. very attentiveserviceand elegant ambiance. highly recommended.

crowded and noisy, but a quality meal. let's get the negatives out of the way first. a bit overcrowded. constant table bumping by staff was unavoidable. close proximity to other tables creates frustrating noise levels. large and quality wine list was priced on the high side. the good news is that the steaks were cooked perfectly and theservicewas prompt and attentive, if not overly friendly. certainly worth going to enjoy a quality meal and overall a positive experience. i still prefer morton's.

delicious!. i ordered lobster bisque and the pear & saga salad. my boyfriend had steak tartare, a 9 oz filet mignon with hollandaise, yukon gold mashed potatoes and buttered broccoli. at the end, we shared a croissant bread pudding. every single thing we tasted was fantastic and theservicewas outstanding! we paid well over $100 for our meal but it was worth the experience.

best restaurant in texas. vic & anthony's is by far the absolute best restaurant i have ever eaten at! food is cooked to perfection every single time and you won't findservicebetter anywhere else!! the greeters are absolutely beautiful and so warm and welcoming. the bartendar was so fast and pleasant! the server at the table was also amazing! i can not say enough good things about this place!! the director of operations, tim kohler came by and talked to us and was the nicest guy and made us feel very welcome!! even the valet is great!! they were a little behind so we had to wait a little bit, but they were very nice and moving as quick as possible. overall, love this place!!! you have to try it! you'll be hooked- promise! :-)

retired. i just had the best food and the best service, (thank you carla) i have had in months. steak was done to perfection. my cousin and i have dinner together every time he come's to houston. we enjoy the ttime andservicetogether at vic's. tonight was fab. from the valets to the servers. great job. can't wait to return.

top notch. absolutely one of the best dinners i have experienced in my entire life. went here for a casual evening in downtown to catch the symphony and eat. had hands-down the bestservicei've ever had at any upscale restaurant from start to finish. the lobster bisque is excellent and my gf said her prime rib was the best she had ever eaten. my steak was definitely top 3 ever.

customerserviceputs this place over the top from the hostess, to the bartender, to the main waiter. all great, friendly and positive.

awesome. vic & anthony's is a great overall experience. theserviceis spectacular from the greeter to the food servers to the wine steward. the steak was delicious, and the creme brulee is the best i've ever had. it's pricey (and quite a haul from katy), but worth the splurge a few times a year.

vic & anthony's houston. our visit to vic & anthony's october 8th was pleasant but not perfect. the food was very good. we ordered a crab cake for an app and was very happy with the taste and texture. we also ordered the pear salad which my wife said was very good except it had alot of large blue cheese chunks in it. you will love it if you like 1 inch squares of blue cheese. it was a little to much for her. i had the lobster bisque and it was good. for dinner i had the prime ribeye. it was cooked perfect (medium rare) and not overly seasoned. my wife ordered the veal milanese and she loved it. beware, it is a huge portion (nearly 12 inches round) and my wife only ate about a 1/3rd of it. we ordered asparagus with a side of hollandaise sauce and the au gratin potatoes. both items were very hot and very tasty. the asparagus was large but cooked perfectly tender. we shared an order of the bread pudding. it had really good flavor, however i was expecting a lighter pudding since they make sure to promote the use of croissants in it. the pudding is about the same as you would get at another place that uses regular bread. the sauce was good, the cinnamon ice cream was very creamy and tasty. the tuile was one of the best parts of the dish. my wife said she could just eat the tuile with the ice cream and have a perfect desert. overall, we were very satisfied with the food. the wine list is extensive and somewhat pricey. they have some solid selections by the glass which is refreshing since my wife and i tend to have different desires for our wine for dinner. we still spend as much as we would on a bottle but we were both able to get the wine we preferred.

theservicewas good but not outstanding for what i expect from an establishment such as this. we are frequent diners to high end restaurants and have come to expect a certain level ofservicefrom everyone in the restaurant when we spend 3-4 hundred dollars on a dinner for 2. there are a number of things that need to be worked on for this location to be considered as having "polished service" in my book. some examples. we had early reservations for 2 (5:30). we were sat immediately at a table set for 4. the table started being rearranged by several different people to accommodate 2 people. it took the hostess, the guy who brought the bread and water to the table and 2 trips by our waiter to get the table down to having only 2 place settings. it just seemed annoying that all this activity had to occur while we were seated to get the table arranged for 2 and could have been avoided by having the hostess ask us to wait 2-3 minutes while they got the table ready to seat 2 people. the guys that refill the water and assist the waiters are sloppy. they quickly refill the glasses and drip water on the table either from the glass being quickly filled or the pitcher they were pouring from. generally they filled the glass without moving it or if they did pick it up they placed it back in some unusual places. our waiter kept removing bread plates from the table along with any silverware that was on them. the problem was we were still eating the bread with our wine so the waiter had to bring more plates and knives back. there seemed to be a rush to pre bus the table when it wasn't necessary and then they had to bring clean plates back to the table. another thing that popped up was when we had our meal set. the waiter asked me if i would cut into the steak and see if it was cooked the way i wanted. no problem, but by the time i picked up the knife and cut into the steak he had left. the steak was fine and i didn't see the need to harp on it. theservicewasn't all like this, in fact outside of these little details i felt theservicewas attentive. the waiter was knowledgeable on the menu and i felt that they genuinely wanted to provide good service. one thing that we were impressed with was when my wife asked if the left over veal would be good sitting in the car while we were in the theater that night. he asked what time we would be out of the theater and said they would be happy to keep the meal in the cooler and we could stop back by and pick it up.

overall, we enjoyed the meal and i felt that theservicewas good but not outstanding. it would be easy to correct most of theserviceissues to take them to the point that i would consider theserviceoutstanding.
