Houstons Irvine

This may be one of the favorite restaurant chains. Houston’s offers a home feel with a bit of class and sophistication. It doesn’t try to be pretentious and is not image driven. They let the food speak for itself. It is a step above Yard House, which is a large step above TGIFriday. Though I didn’t really know what to expect, I was impressed with the food. a restaurant located in a corner of Fashion Island in Newport Beach (and I've had them in Maryland!). Only available on Saturdays, the cakes are so scrumptious that they're pretty much the only main course I ever get. Now Houston's is Gulstream's sibling restaurant, one that I had shunned for really no good reason. I actually ended up at Houston's on a bit of a whim. It was final exams week at school, and a few of my classmates wanted to have a nice dinner to celebrate the end of finals. Now, I still had an exam the following Tuesday so I couldn't really celebrate yet, but then again, I am generally loath to turn down an opportunity to try out a new eatery.
