Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Upper Kirby / Shepherd Corridor

This is the second time I have dined here and it was amazing. The service is top notch. Our guy new the menu and his recommendations were spot on. What I particularly like is that you can be seated after 10PM, which in Houston, is difficult, with fine dining restaurants. Also, I am assuming because of the late seating, we did not have to listen to the piano music and could hear ourselves talk.

We really dug the vibe. The interior is really stylish. The only thing we thought that was lacking was our particular server’s service. When I requested a second cocktail and asked him to surprise me with something vodka based, he brought a “French 76”, made with vodka instead of gin. Notwithstanding whether or not such a drink exists vis a vis the known “French 75” drink, he should have known that I had JUST finished a French 75, in part because I had the same gin style glass on my table. This is not service I would expect from a Michelin level restaurant (I know this one did not get one, but maybe you are gunning for it), many of which me and my wife have been too, including multiple Three Star restaurants! The waiter should be more aware as being delivered such a drink might be thought of as being lazy or dismissive towards the diner. My wife and I are well prepared to pay large amounts for a top notch dinner as well, and we are more likely to do so when a restaurant succeeds in ALL categories.

We loved everything we ordered. The drinks were amazing, the food was delicious and flavorful. Everything served was impeccable. The service was excellent and was made even more special by Edgar. We’re happy we chose to celebrate our 7th anniversary here. The establishment is truly deserving of its michelin star.

As being a new chef in Houston the fantastic steak48 was recommended to me by a colleague and I was not let down in anyway every word Ive heard about this establishment has been on par. This has been my 4th time visiting steak48 and since my 1st visit a year ago my expectations are exceeded always from the food, the service, the hospitality, the ambiance, the kitchen it just all stands out so well but most of all what I appreciate is my server Maddie she is the definition of what a server is! Ive had Maddie every visit and that young lady does not miss when it’s comes to satisfaction her food & cocktail recommendations are always perfect every single time if you guys are doing any promotions soon she definitely deserves it. Also the Manager Neo checked up on my table as well as other and did a phenomenal job making me feel like family it’s very appreciated what this restaurant teams does FOH & BOH thank you all I look forward to visiting again soon 🙏🏽

The service was perfect. The staff is obviously well trained and experienced. The food great and plentiful. We even stayed for coffee to wait out a rainstorm, no problems. I always love this place. I've never had anything less that a great experience there.
