Houston's - Manhattan Beach

Houston has done it again!!! This place is consistently outstanding! I come here for the most delicious Caesar salad, excellent service, and a fantastic cut of beef!!! You never disappoint...

I absolutely loved this restaurant! I celebrated my birthday here with friends, and it was my first time dining at this place. I ordered a lemon martini and...

I ordered my steak and burger well done, but they were not cooked properly. I'm disappointed and won't be dining here again. I paid $80 for undercooked meat.

I just returned from lunch where I enjoyed a wonderfully roasted Prime Rib Steak. The baked potato was large and delicious. My waitress provided excellent service, and the wine portion was generous for the price. I especially appreciated the chilled glass of extra distilled water that was served. However, I was slightly disappointed that I had to ask for bread and butter instead of it being served automatically. This was my second visit, and both times the hostess was just okay. On my first visit, I made a reservation for dinner for two, but when I arrived, I was informed that someone with the exact same name as mine had called in and was given our table—really, come on! Two weeks ago, I had my sister over for dinner and shared an excellent lime cake that was truly brilliant. The cake had a lovely lime flavor, but the texture was more like watery pudding than pie. Overall, it’s a great place to enjoy steak!

The food was mediocre at best. There was pressure to order an appetizer, even though I wasn't really interested. The salad was disappointing; I wouldn't recommend the Caesar salad at all, as it tasted nothing like a traditional Caesar—more like a Chinese salad. The steak was acceptable, but it was overcooked compared to what I had ordered. To top it all off, they refused to accept our gift card, claiming it had already been redeemed, which it hadn’t. Rather than acknowledging their mistake, the manager basically accused me of lying. I will never dine at this restaurant again, and I advise you to steer clear as well. It was the most disappointing dining experience I've ever had.
