I’ll admit, it takes a lot to impress me when I go out to eat. This being said, I am always in search of an establishment that can meet or exceed not only my taste buds but a level of detailed, professional service as well. Last week, I had the honor and privledge to assist my close friend Andrew in relocating his brother to an assisted living center. It was an emotional time as his brother has endured Parkinson’s for the last 15 years- he is only 41.

One of our “escapes” for Andrew and I was to dine at an adjacent steakhouse called Vic and Anthony’s (like our hotel, also owned by Landry’s.) Odd, for me at least, to order redfish in a steakhouse yet I was very pleased with the result. The lump crabmeat and olive tapanade was a perfect blend and danced across my palate with joy. Of course, the 1/2 bottle of Caymus Conundrum only assisted in this manner. Dessert finished the evening along with a single barrel batch bourbon that left me asking with regards to their version of bread pudding “is this the best they could offer?” Regardless, I left pleased- something that is not easily achieved. When you go to Houston, hit up Vic and Anthony’s Steakhouse (located across from Minute Maid Park.)
