I second that! Only get a Loaded Baked Potato instead of steak fries since they have salt on the outside you could use with a good margarita!!

Pappas steakhouse is really good if you want to impress, spent about 170 on me and my old lady valentines day thats w/ a few drinks for each of us.

As far as mid level steakhouses I like outback.

The Strip House, located in downtown Houston. Best steaks I've ever had in Houston. Very fancy place, not a cheaper chain restaurant like Saltgrass or Outback.

Sullivan's near the Galleria is also good.

Also, Old Sanfransico Steakhouse is a cool place w/ good steaks and not quite as pricey as the higher level steakhouses.

The wife and I + half a bottle of wine (price-wise) = $160

Once a year feast = worth it

LOL - unless they rebuilt it somewhere else, the place was closed and torn down! When I first moved to Texas, I thought it was pretty good. But then the quality went down. Miss that big block of swiss cheese!!!

As for good steaks, money no object - Ruth's Chris, Morton's, or Vic and Anthony's.

On more of a lesser budget, try Willie G's on Post Oak. They are known more for seafood, but their steaks are great. Also, try the Lobster Bisque - best in town.

Well, there are lots of opinions but it depends on the person. I've been to a few expensive (100/person) restaurants (on the company's tab ) that were really disappointing.

Taste of Texas is usually pretty good with their steaks. I've been a couple of time and been disappointed, but most of the time it is very good with reasonable pricing @ <$30 for most steak dinners.

In the end, some people might say one place is awesome just because it was fancy, they had few drinks by the time the steaks came, or they just plain associated the price with quality. You just have to take things into context. A good steak is easy to ruin, and a bad steak is hard to make taste better. Unfortunately, its tough for most people to hit a nice steak place more than a couple of times a year, unless fine (expensive) dining is a hobby of theirs.

A good place that served all kind of different meats/steak was the Rainbow Lodge. Very expensive, but not your typical steak place.

I've heard Ruth's Chris, Vic and Anthony's, and Papas Bros Steakhouse are excellent, though I don't have personal experience with them.
