I've been to Houston Street Bistro many times since I had written my last review (See Here). I've come to enjoy the food and service here. Their lunch special at $7.99 is really affordable and allows you to add salad and a soup at a low additional cost.[...]

Houston Street Bistro – San Antonio, TX
I checked out Houston Street Bistro the other evening and aside from the poor service, the food and ambiance was fairly pleasant. It took about 15-20 minutes for a server to approach us for our drink orders. They only have beer & wine which was also a disappointment.[...]

The Vineyards Restaurant – San Antonio, TX
First, let me say I am rating this restaurant based on the type of restaurant this place strives to be: upscale/gourmet. I visited The Vineyards in October/November of 2007 and wasn't very impressed.

Fogo De Chao – Beverly Hills, CA
Meat. Lots and lots of meat. Oh, they have a really damn-good, huge salad bar with all sorts of stuff too, but the meat is marvelous. It is a buffet of sorts. The gauchos come to your table offering about 15 varieties of meat and once you're done you can continue asking for more.[...]

Aloha Steakhouse – Ventura, CA
It was a weeknight and we were seated fairly quickly. That was the good part. The menu looked like they offered some really good dishes. I settled in on ordering the Filet Mignon with the peppercorn gravy. Mmmm, sounds good doesn't it? heh. It sounded so good, I quickly became depressed with t[...]
