· American restaurant, New American restaurant

Polished, high-demand New American standby with standout steaks, sushi, and service, but strict policies, long waits, and limited kid/group accommodation.
The verdict
Houston's delivers exceptional food quality and outstanding service attentiveness that position it competitively with the area's better upscale restaurants. Reliable execution and a loyal following of repeat diners reinforce its standing, though recent policy friction and crowding concerns prevent grade A territory. The polished setting suits special occasions but lacks destination-defining distinction.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive (mains from low $30s to $50s)
