Quick info
About Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse
On Texas Ave in Houston, Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse is a fine dining steak house with a 55-item menu spanning meat and seafood alongside classic salads and sides. Starters include the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake and Steak Tartare, while the Maple Glazed Quail rounds out the options beyond the usual chophouse fare. Sides such as potatoes au gratin and lobster mac and cheese come in portions large enough to split between two people, and complimentary bread arrives before the meal. The dining room runs dim, and the bathrooms carry the same limited lighting throughout. Reservations are recommended, and a wait is common even with a table booked. A private dining room accommodates groups, and the step-free entrance suits visitors with mobility needs. Those ordering off site can arrange takeaway or delivery, and valet parking is available for a fee. The restaurant opens daily, and free Wi-Fi is on offer for guests at the table.

Customer Review Summary
Steak quality anchors most accounts, with the ribeye and bone-in ribeye repeatedly singled out as cooked well and full of flavor, alongside the lobster bisque praised for its rich, briny depth and the potato au gratin called out for its cheesy, well-portioned sides. Close behind, several diners highlight standout service, attentive servers who guided wine and menu choices and made birthdays or anniversaries feel special. Also mentioned favorably: the lobster mac and cheese, fresh shucked oysters, and a strong wine and cocktail list. Recurring complaints temper the praise: multiple reviewers describe under-seasoned or overly salty dishes (one bread under-salted, another pork ribeye too salty to finish), inconsistent steak temperatures, and slow or inattentive stretches of service including a table waiting on cleared plates. Valet parking draws specific frustration, with one reviewer waiting over an hour for their car and another describing a rude valet interaction amid pedestrian traffic. One reviewer also reports becoming sick after a meal, describing it as suspected food poisoning, and separately notes a disappointing, presentation-less to-go dessert on an anniversary visit. The evening often closes on a personal touch, a server's wine pairing, a remade side, or a manager thanked directly for the team's effort.

“**Very disappointing experience for a special occasion** I had really high expectations for Vic & Anthony’s, especially because we were celebrating our anniversary and had heard great things about the restaurant. Unfortunately, the overall experience was very disappointing. When we first arrived, the host was very welcoming and let us know that our table was ready. We decided to have a drink at the bar before sitting down.The bartender did greet us, but we ended up waiting for several minutes while he was on his phone before we were able to order. We eventually decided to just go to our table. Once seated, our server greeted us well. We let him know that it was our first time dining there and that we were excited to try the Restaurant Week menu. The service started off well, but as the meal continued, it felt like there was a noticeable lack of attentiveness and warmth. The food from the Restaurant Week menu itself was generally good. We also ordered the lobster mac and cheese as a side, which unfortunately was not very good in our opinion. We mentioned this to our server, and to his credit, he did take care of it for us. What was most disappointing, however, was how our anniversary dessert was handled. Rather than being presented as part of the special occasion, the dessert was simply packaged to go with no presentation whatsoever. For a restaurant of this caliber and price point, I expected a much more thoughtful experience, especially since we had specifically mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary. What made this even more disappointing was seeing afterward that a friend who dined at Vic & Anthony’s on the same day and around the same time, also celebrating an anniversary, received an actual dessert presentation. It made us feel like our special occasion was not given the same level of attention. Unfortunately, the experience became even more concerning afterward, as I became sick with what I believe was food poisoning following the meal. For a high end steakhouse and a special occasion, I expected much more from the attentiveness of the service to the presentation and overall experience.There were definitely some positives, but unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the reputation or price point of Vic & Anthony’s.”

“Truly the best meal we’ve ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection. Julie our server was fantastic as well!”

“My first visit to Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse, and it definitely lived up to the hype! My husband has been here many times, but this was my first experience, and it was absolutely fantastic. We started with a half dozen fresh shucked oysters and two cocktails that James recommended, and both were excellent. For dinner, we ordered the large ribeye, the bone in pork chop, potato au gratin, and creamed spinach. I topped my steak with béarnaise sauce and bone marrow, which took it to another level. Everything was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The highlight of the evening, though, was our server, James. He truly made the experience exceptional. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, patiently answered all of my questions, and made us feel so well taken care of throughout the entire meal. His recommendations were spot on, and his attentive, friendly service made my birthday dinner feel extra special. If you're dining here, I highly recommend asking for James. He made our entire experience unforgettable, and we'll definitely be back!”

“Amazing crab cakes and steaks, the 24 layer cake is huge and a show stopper! They have an extensive wine list, pages and pages of wines. Sonya, our server for the night, was the best! She took such great care of us, thank you!”

“Everything tasted delicious, especially the crab cake appetizer that was drizzled with lemon 🍋 sauce! Will definitely be back.”
