Outstanding food! Waiter did a great job handling all details. Timing was perfect for each dish. The green chili soup was great and the tenderloin was perfect!

Vicente was an excellent waiter. The food was good as it always is. The crab cake was flavorful and the crab flavor was prominent not filler. The Chilean sea bass with Melissa topping was great. Always the closer is the bread pudding which is one of our favorites not just there but anywhere. Always a good meal at Landry’s with a nice view of the storms forming over the city.

Full disclosure, I’m not a big fan of “fine dining”, and this was fine dining. The flavors were a little too robust for me. The service was excellent, though. And the house-made bread with orange-truffle butter was quite interesting. We had the half-chicken and the salmon. Chicken was okay, and the salmon was a little overdone.

Listen the service was great except our poor waiter, Miguel was overwhelmed by the amount of tables and customers assigned to him. Don’t get me wrong, he did his best but it was evident that he could have used some help as we did have to wait for water and other items that never showed up. I’m not blaming him. He did great but it was obvious to us and other tables that the wait time was unusually long to just get water. I think it’s a staffing issue.
