Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Southwest

My experience is always amazing. I celebrate all the birthday, anniversaries and special occasions here. Our server Michelle is the best. She is amazing, funny and very helpful.

We had a wonderful Time with our server and our talented chef.

Always a reliably delicious meal with great service. The ambiance is cozy and romantic. Inventive but balanced cocktails.

We went for a lunch date and, unfortunately, they did not have any lunch specials. The protein options were good and there was a variety. Some of the steak had a lot of fat content, unrendered even on medium temp pieces, which made it harder to enjoy. Overall, an okay experience for the churrasco format.

We arrived in Houston late in the afternoon with no plans, had enjoyed a late lunch with a friend on the way. We wanted a good cocktail and simple dinner, but it was Saturday night. We found Rio Ranch and thought it might work, but were nervous about crowds when we saw how full the parking lot was. It’s attached to a hotel, so I guess there was an event there as the restaurant was empty when we arrived. We did enjoy a delicious cocktail in the bar, with efficient and friendly service. We shared a dinner. The mashed potatoes, asparagus and gravy were very good, but the chicken-fried steak was so gristly we could barely easy 1/3 of it. What we could chew was tasty, but hardly worth the effort. The waiter apologized, but sometimes a cut of beef just hides its true nature.
