Had a wonderful post Valentine’s Day date with my daughter. The ambiance was excellent to have an intimate dinner. The servers were excellent, especially RJ. He was knowledgeable about the menu and checked on us often. I had the ribeye steak, and my daughter had the the steak with an Australian lobster tail. Also had the apple pie for dessert with the cinnamon ice cream. Delicious!!! First time I didn’t have to add anything! Seasoned to perfection. Definitely on the “come again list”.

We had an incredible evening celebrating our 8th Valentine’s with our friend, Humberto. The service, food and wine were incredible. We had the opportunity to meet the GM, Rob, which was a great opportunity to share our experience. We also met Zach, Wine Sommelier, which elevated our evening and dining experience to another level. His knowledge and pairing advice was greatly appreciated. Thank you to Humberto and Zach for making last night a very memorable evening. Absolutely love dining at Vic & Anthony’s because of the food, ambiance, service and friendliness of the entire staff. Thank you.

About the restaurant

Other filet mignon options pale in comparison to the B&B classic 10 oz filet mignon. Top this delicious beef selection with Truffle Butter for an updated take on this classic cut of beef. B&B Butcher’s & Restaurant is made famous for its cooked to order steaks, upscale setting, and contemporary side selections. Cantonese style roasted cauliflower is a savory pairing to the classic 10 oz cut of the filet mignon. If guests are looking for homestyle flavors, B&B’s take on the family classic, mac & cheese, is sure to impress. B&B Butcher’s & Restaurant is not only home to the iconic Houston dish, filet mignon, but also features a large selection of luxury seafood options.

Houston’s dining culture has been infused with many modern restaurants in the past years and the upscale, elegant Steak 48 is a perfect example of an iconic, contemporary eatery in the Houston area.

10/10!!! Didn’t upset one bit. Every dish we had was on point. For our appetizers we got the Wagyu Meatballs, Shrimp Calabria, and the Crab Cakes. They were super good. My wife got the 8 oz. Filet Mignon, and i got the 16 oz. Cajun Ribeye recommended by our waiter Steven. Both were real tender and juicy. Our sides were also delicious. We got the Jumbo Asparagus and the Lobster Mac and Cheese. Our waiter Steven was real attentive as well. Will come here again for sure. Thanks for making this a memorable night Morton’s Steakhouse. 👌🏼
