Tribute at The Houstonian

The food here is absolutely impeccable! No matter what you order, you will be pleased. I had the smoked crab claws for an appetizer with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. For my main course, I had shrimp and scallops with risotto. For dessert I had Tres Leche. All the food is so good I keep ordering the same thing it's hard for me to order something different. I have had their steak before which was amazing. And the bread although it has a lot of calories, it's well worth it it is to die for with the honey butter. I love this place It's a Hidden gem. And the service is amazing as well. What I love most about this place is the consistency. They have consistently good food and consistently good service.

The Tribute at The Houstonian is an absolute delight! My husband and I went there for our anniversary, and we couldn't have had a better meal, ambience and service for our special day. Big shout out to Gonzo for making our night! The food was spectacular! We started with the wedge salad and crab claws (oh! And do notttt skip on the rolls and butter dear lord, I could've eaten those all night!). I had the redfish special that came with lump crab meat and my husband had the filet. They were both cooked & seasoned to perfection! Don't skip this place, especially during the holidays. The decorations are just spectacular!

My first visit to Tribute was great! The scenery, staff, service, and food offered a great first ( but certainly not last time) experience! The Peach Upside Down cake is a must try item on their menu.

First. The service here is phenomenal. And that's a given. We've been here multiple times and have always had the best experiences. Second. The wine room. Ambience is perfect for a special date or celebration. It is a private reservation that you have to book outside the Tribute but it's totally worth it for a special occasion! Third. The food. We were celebrating our first anniversary at the Wine Room and had a menu designed for the occasion, so keep that in mind - every item was perfectly cooked and plated and DELICIOUS. It was also a tasting menu so these portions are "smaller" to keep us from getting overwhelmed - that said, it was still very filling! -Oysters-Arugula Salad - this is my favorite salad... and I don't eat salad regularly. The champagne vinaigrette and candied nuts pairs with the feta cheese and blueberries... perfection. I ate it all. -Shrimp and Scallop Rissoto - MY FAVE. I would eat this all day every day if I could. So light and yet so flavorful! The risotto was cooked perfectly and the mushrooms were a nice surprise! -Filet Mignon-Dessert Sampler - Sugar Overload!! But everything was so decadent and the perfect end to our meal!

Service was incredible and the food was fantastic. The only thing is... the whole place has a dated vibe.

All I can say is WOW. The customer service is out of this world. The best customer service you can imagine plus more. They served our every need and were very proactive in asking and checking to see what we might need. At this place you can buy a bottle and store it in a glass locker in the restaurant. The whiskey selection is out of this world and offer whiskeys most other establishments would never have as an option. Lets just say I was viewing Japanese whiskey and Maker's Mark is far from my emergency standard option. The food is absolutely amazing. I ordered the Tuna salad and my partner ordered an omelette. Food was great and no complaints. They say everything is bigger in Texas and the food portions here definitely supported that motto. The restaurant is very elegant and CLEAN! In addition they have beautiful floor to ceiling windows and unique light fixtures. I 150% recommend dining at this restaurant if you are even remotely in the location. I literally have zero complaints EXCEPT parking is kinda tricky.

Honestly didn't think the food was anything to rave about. The service was excellent, I will say that. Though the tortilla soup lacked flavor and the vegetables were way undercooked. Overall, just meh.

Dropped by for a quick bite and had a wonderful evening at this Houstonian hotel restaurant.Dinner was great and complemented with excellent service, wine and conversation with the sommelier and executive chef.The decor is rustic chic and the dining room was intimate even with ~30 people at the peak.The food was great including a burger that our daughter scored 9 out of 10. My lamb was very good and the waiter's suggestion of gumbo was a hit.Can't wait to come back.

I was served promptly for cocktails at The Bar and the outdoor seating weather was absolutely perfect between 5-6 in spring... they give you complimentary mixture of snacks at the bar with your drink... I also ordered the wagyu carpaccio and all the ingredients were there but they were slightly unbalanced. The lemon was overpowering ever so slightly so I found if I ate less of the greens it was saturated on - it was much better - of course wagyu melts in the mouth and the blue veined cheese was SO AMAZINg I love blue cheese anything - it left me wanting for more blue cheddar to balance out the sour of the lemon - the shallots added a wonderful crunch to the medley of textures but I would've, again liked all the flavors and textures in proportion to one another. More of the cheddar, surely. It was delicious regardless - Wagyu carpaccio can't not be delightful. Service was lovely aside from the initial greeting at the bar the Madam seemed like she was not having the best day... I'm a bit grumpy on my menses maybe she's on hers. My waitress outdoors was so sweet and kind. I also enjoyed a blue bonnet beverage and it was very fresh! The playing was absolutely beautiful. They did bring out S&P grinders - I think I should have tried a dash with the last bite to compare the flavor see if it enhanced it at all.

The Tribute has become one of our family's favorite dining establishments in Houston. The staff are all exceptional, and make each client feel as though they are the most important customer of the month.If you have not seen The Houstonian Hotel's holiday decorations, I encourage you to make reservations soon! The general manager is one of the very BEST!John B
