Oh my gosh, I can only speak for my meal, but it was absolutely delicious!!! I had the filet mignon, scallop appetizer, and the broccoli. They were all perfect. Service was good and the time from order to table was great! If I’m back in Houston I’ll definitely be back!

Service and overall experience was great. The apps and sides were great but lowered the rating since the steaks were overcooked. A steak can’t be overcooked at a steakhouse with this price point. Didn’t send them back but did tell the waiter.

My son and I took my husband to Gatsby for his birthday. We started out with the calamari and raw oysters, which were really delicious. We had the filet, Delmonico, and KC steaks, and they were perfectly cooked and the best steaks in Houston! The sides of loaded mash potatoes and cream corn were amazing as well. Since it my husband's birthday, when we ordered desserts of Red Velvet Tiramisu (incredible), Brioche Bread Pudding, and raspberry sorbet, they gave him a cheesecake as well. The service was great. I would highly recommend Gatsby.

My experience was not great, the service was really poor. I felt we just sat and waited there for everything. Our server didnt come till we asked to bring the restaurant week special. Everything I asked for took a good 20 minutes wait. The decor was tacky. I dont see myself going there again based on my experience of hopeless customer service.

Our waiter was totally inexperienced. He wasn’t able to help with the menu selection much. We ordered bread and butter. He failed to notice we needed a butter knife. He didn’t come often enough for us to ask for one until we were almost done with the bread. We had to use a steak knife! My son was still eating his bread and he attempted to take his plate until I had to tell the waiter my son is still eating. My poor baby had to eat bread all night because THEY HAVE NO KIDS MENU or any kid friendly options. We have eaten at other steak houses more often than not and they all have kid friendly options. Truly disappointing! Then, both my husband and I ordered blue cheese crust on our steak, but instead he brought out blue cheese sauce 🤦🏽‍♀️ so he had to take it back for them to fix it. We participated in the restaurant week menu during this visit, but he didn’t even offer us a dessert menu at the end of our dinner in case we wanted to get something else (which I did) I had to ask for it! For anything we needed, I had to pretty much ask this waiter throughout our dinner. We were celebrating our anniversary and we couldn’t relax and enjoy because we were always stressed about asking for things that should have naturally been done if the waiter was good and experienced enough to know what the guests will need and what they don’t have on their table. Lastly, when I booked this I notated to give me a corner booth. Instead they put us right by the kitchen door (where it was super loud and annoying) and on a half booth/ half chair table! A booth is a booth, not half! Experience was truly horrible!

Our waitress seemed indifferent about providing service to me and my friends. It’s as if she had short term memory loss. She would come and check on us and wouldn’t have what we asked for (serving spoons, bread, the next course, etc). I think the worst was that We had to repeatedly ask for water; so much so, we finally had her leave the carafe at the table. The restaurant wasn’t even busy.

Thank you Restaurant Weeks or we never would have been able to afford going here. I must say though that Gatsbys still treated my wife and I like we were royalty and the portions were generous even at the greatly reduced Restaurant Weeks price. We both got the 8 oz filet and we ate them slowly - moaning with pleasure every bite. I will say we ended up getting the upcharged Calamari but it was a huge dish. We also took the waiters recommendation and got deviled eggs with a shrimp on it and it just blew us away it was sooooo good. Gatsbys was a great time - we hated to leave and go back to reality.

Got to the restaurant a little early, 10 mins before our scheduled reservation so we had to wait which was fine. We were told to have a seat at the bar until our table was ready - bartender was cleaning and did not acknowledge or ask if we would like anything while we wait. Mind you no one was at the bar but us. My husband and I usually will have a drink while we wait but we did not feel like this type of establishment should need coaching on customer service. When seated it took 20 minutes for water to arrive. From the houston restaurant week menu they did not have the bone in rib-eye or the crème brûlée that was on the menu. Most things were upcharges on the menu so seemed like a waste of a restaurant week menu experience as we were basically evening out money wise. My husband ordered the $24 Macallen on the menu when our bill arrived they charged $41 for a completely different drink. When we asked about it the waiter said he was sorry but they either gave the wrong drink or charged it wrong. He never tried to handle the situation and due to slow service at this point we were ready to leave so we paid without that being resolved. Overall place has potential but with the slow service and them being out of a lot of food options we won’t be going back.

I went for an early dinner during HRW. I was really looking forward to the beef tartare, but it didn’t impress me. The steak was delicious and cooked as ordered (rare with there being a window for it to get medium rare with the 450° plate temp). I got a side of the crème brûlée creamed corn which was also delicious. One thing to note - since both steak and corn come out on such hot dishes, they should be placed further away from guests. I had some ingredients pop onto my hands and stained what I was wearing. The flourless chocolate cake was REALLY good for being flourless. Main complaint would be the entry set up. The bar is right as you enter, so it never cools down and lets flies in. I was constantly shooing 2 away from my dishes. Also, hate that the parking lot forces you to valet ($10). A $55 meal ends up being $115 once it’s all said and done.

Our experience doesn’t match the price of items. Had an reservation for 8:45p and we arrived at 8:40p, we didn’t get seated until an hour or longer later. A text about wait times could of been sent out prior to reservation. No where to wait inside, so we were hot af outside. Smh. Waiter was cool but definitely took forever with everything. We didn’t get our food until after 10p. The food was good but for the price of a $175 meal the service and everything should be top tier. Nothing complimentary was offered, parking was $10, and outside area could of been cleaned up too. We are very annoyed and disappointed as it was my birthday dinner and celebration of a huge accomplishment for our daughter. We definitely had no energy after that to speak with a manager. I know it had to find good employees as but you all need some work.

Food was well executed and tasty but could not be over looked by the terrible customer experience. We had a reservation made weeks in advanced but did not get seated until 50 mins later. We were told they are behind and it would only be a 10-15 mins wait. After being seated our waiter did not show up for a good 15 mins. We asked for HRW menu and felt like we received totally different service from surrounding tables who ordered from regular menu. We never got refills on our water and drinks until we flagged down a staff that was walking by. The waiter was a lot more attentive to the table across the room who ordered bottles and ordered a lot more than us. The entire meal we had one visit from the waiter to ask if we needed anything. Our glasses were empty and he did not refill until we mentioned it. This was our first time at Gatsby and looks like it will be last. Even though the food was good the service we experienced definitely dampened our night. We left extremely disappointed in how this establishment seemed to cater to certain clientele.

We went for Houston restaurant week and I should have known it was going to be a nickle and dimed experience when they required you to put in a card to hold the reservation. While the food and service were decent, the way they set up the menu was pretty infuriating. You can tell they were advertising HRW but they wanted to make up their revenue by upcharging pretty much everything. The entrée came with no sides, even just to have a sauce on your steak would cost you, flat water cost $8, bread $1.50, 3 pieces of shrimp cocktail ran us $27, etc. Even valet was expensive at $10. It was just a lot and as someone who has dined and lived in the NYC area and has been to plenty of steakhouses in both NY and Texas, I just did not think the value was worth the price. We were on Montrose, calm down. Also, check that bill because we were a group of 5 and tip was automatically included. You can definitely get more value for what this place charges.

The food was excellent! The only issue we had was we believe our serve was a little overwhelmed. He still worked hard, however several times things were missed. A drink order was incorrect even though the order was for the exact same drink ordered earlier. An order of the bread basket was not fulfilled. Appetizers were ordered yet the plates were cleared from the table only to be brought back again for use. He still worked hard, but it did seem as if he was handling too many tables.

The first part of this horrible experience was that valet was full and we had to pay to park across the street for this “fine dining” experience. Then we waited 35 minutes after reservation time and the manager never came by to check on us or our experience. For a special event for me and my significant other this felt like a scam and we left feeling taken advantage of. Our waiter also never came by to refill our drinks or check on us to see if we wanted to order more drinks. Horrible experience, save your money and go somewhere actually reputable like Mastro’s.

Think restaurant weeks have them overwhelmed. Didn’t get my lemon drop to me until a hour in. Had been eating my food already. Server forgot and I had to re ask. When he finally did get it to me it was the wrong kind. I just kept it because I’m sure he was overwhelmed. Food was great.

Have dined at Gatsby’s many times, this time brought my family. Food was amazing, as always. Service was significantly lacking compared to past visits. Even though we were one of only three tables in the entire restaurant, we had to remind our server about our drink refills after ordering every single round - literally took at least 20-30 minutes and two reminders per drink order. Many requested items (side plate, salt and pepper) never arrived or had to be requested more than once. It almost feels like since gratuity was automatically added with my check since my party was over 5, they didn’t feel like they really had to try with the service. Valet double charged me and then argued with me about it even after showing him my receipt of the charge. I have to say I was embarrassed about the service compared to price after how highly I had spoken about this place to my family. Hopefully this is a one-off and doesn’t become a regular experience.
