Where the Wealthy Eat: Top 7 Luxury Restaurants in Houston, TX

Daisy P My husband decided to bring me here for my birthday and this was truly such an amazing experience! Abraham made our experience top tier! He has extremely knowledgeable with the dishes and was very welcoming. I thank him so much for adding to this dining experience. “21 Questions” was my go to cocktail and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious as well. We finished with the creme brûlée for dessert. Abraham served us an expresó martini as well! The service here was phenomenal.

Zarina Sementelli I came to The Palm Downtown Houston for my birthday dinner, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. This is hands down one of the best steakhouses I’ve been to. The food, ambiance, and service were all exceptional. Everything we ordered was delicious, but I highly recommend the crab cakes and the lobster ravioli. Both were outstanding. For dessert, I had the chocolate cake, which was rich and delicious, and I also tried my friend’s carrot cake, which was just as good. The best part of the night, though, was our server Jesse. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, very friendly, and extremely accommodating with all of our requests. He truly elevated the entire experience. Be sure to keep an eye out for their specialty drinks. Jesse recommended the Mrs. Claus specialty cocktail, and it was so good I ordered two. If you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want an amazing dining experience, The Palm is a must. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Catherine Poddar We had a fantastic birthday lunch here. The decor gives the vibes of some of the beautiful forts in India. The staff is understated but gracious and courteous. They are very helpful, give great recs, and are just the right amount of attentive. Overall, I think the biggest strength of the food is the layers of flavor they are able to achieve. The paneer we had was one of the best curries we had. The ceviches were unique and delicious. The one dish that really took the cake in presentation and flavor was the mishti doi. I love mishti doi and I have never had one that was as unique, delicious and playfully plated as this version. We didnt take a picture because we were too busy eating. And then, they brought out non alcoholic sparkling wine for a birthday toast and added a candle to the dessert. Shout out to Amrina for singing with us. It was an awesome end to the meal. We would 100% like to return.

Melodie It was my first time coming here to celebrate my birthday with my husband, and it was such a beautiful and well-organized restaurant. They even put glitter on the table for a birthday touch. Such a cute gesture! Our server was very kind and attentive as well. I tried the king crab for the first time and it was absolutely delicious. Next time I would ask for regular melted butter instead of the citrus sour cream, only because the citrus can overpower the natural flavor of the crab, but thats personal preference. The crab itself was perfectly cooked and sweet. My Berry Patch zero-proof mocktail was refreshing and the flavors blended perfectly. I also highly recommend the lobster bisque. It’s rich, smooth, and full of flavor. It was the perfect appetizer. For dessert, they surprised us with a complimentary baked Alaska, and we also ordered their famous carrot cake, which is huge! We ended up taking the rest home. This is the perfect special occasion dining experience!

S C Still dreaming of my experience!! You guys are incredible!! Becca! Happy 10th anniversary today!! Enjoy that cake! Shout out to her partner in crime Ed, 30 years! You all are unbelievable! Loving your Wine Selection too!! DANA Estates!

Jess McHan My partner and I had a lovely dinner date at B&B Butchers this past Tuesday evening. We called to make a reservation the day of and were given multiple time slot options. We were seated immediately upon arriving and the hostess offered different seating options. Our server, Tyler, was attentive and personable and helped us with our course selections. We opted for the ravioli appetizer to share. The marsala sauce was rich & creamy and the raviolis were cooked properly. I ordered the beef wellington and my boyfriend had the flank steak with steak fries. He asked if the kitchen was able to provide aioli with his dish and they not only brought him one, but two different freshly made aiolis to use. We shared some lobster mac and cheese as well, which was heavenly. The portion size & quality of both our main dishes and lobster mac was impressive. Decadent flavors yet balanced well for a very satisfying meal. For an upscale establishment, this steakhouse still felt very cozy and welcoming. I enjoyed the subtle Holiday decorations & overall ambiance. We will definitely be back.

Ravisara L We sat at the bar today and had an amazing experience. Javier and Hernaez were fantastic. Javier is the mixologist who designed most of the cocktail list, and it really shows. Both of them are incredibly knowledgeable about gin, cocktails, and wine, and made the whole experience feel special. We tried several cava, but the gin and tonic still stole the show. Every cocktail was well balanced and delicious. For food, we loved the jamón, arroz negro, and the suckling pig. Everything was beautifully cooked and full of flavor. We’ll definitely be back.
